(CNN) -- Actress Zsa Zsa Gabor broke her hip after falling out of bed, her husband told CNN early Sunday.
Doctors could operate on the 93-year-old actress later in the day, said Gabor's husband, Prince Frederic von Anhalt.
"She's in the emergency room. She has a broken hip, and they have to operate on her," he said. "It's a complicated thing. It was an accident. And she is not that young anymore."
Von Anhalt said Gabor fell out of bed Saturday night when she reached to answer the phone. An ambulance rushed her to the Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center in Los Angeles, California, after he called 911.
He said she was on medication and asleep early Sunday morning.
"Her family is by her side. No other information is available from the hospital per the family's request," hospital spokeswoman Roxanne Yamaguchi Moster said in a statement.
Publicist John Blanchette said Gabor was watching "Jeopardy!" when she fell out of bed.
"She has an active mind. She's very bright. She's funny. She always makes me laugh whenever I talk to her," Blanchette said. "Her body's failing her."
Blanchette said Gabor has been frail and "pretty much confined to a wheelchair" since a 2002 car accident. The crash occurred when the car in which she was riding with her hairdresser slammed into a light pole on Sunset Boulevard in Los Angeles.
Her husband has been caring for her, Blanchette said.
The glamorous Hungarian-born actress, the middle of the celebrated Gabor sisters, is most famous for her eight marriages. Among her husbands were hotel millionaire Conrad Hilton and Oscar-winning actor George Sanders.
Her more prominent films include John Huston's 1952 Toulouse-Lautrec biopic, "Moulin Rouge"; "The Story of Three Loves," 1953; "The Girl in the Kremlin," 1957; and Orson Welles' classic "Touch of Evil," 1958.
In 1989, Gabor was sentenced to 72 hours in jail for slapping a Beverly Hills police officer after a traffic stop. She also had to perform community service at a battered women's shelter.
The other Gabor sisters were Magda, the oldest, who died in 1997 five days shy of 83, and Eva, the youngest, who died in 1995 at 76.
Magda, an occasional stage actress, also was married to George Sanders at one time.
Eva is probably best remembered for her role as a socialite turned farmer's wife on the 1960s' TV sitcom "Green Acres."

I heard on the morning news that after going thru a hip transplant a week ago, her condition has taken a turn for the worse. She is listed in critical condition. I am doubting she survives this.
Here is a bit of useless trivia but may come in handy incase you are on Jeopardy.
Between the 3 Gabor sisters; they were married 20 times (Zsa Zsa was watching Jeopardy when she fell out her bed). Zsa Zsa was married 9 times counting the one she had annulled.

That is what I thought...she is really up there. Yet it seems like she has been around forever. I got Eva mixed up with this one. Used to watch Green Acres...lol. Fun living, that's the life for me...Darling.....I love you, just give me Park Avenue!!!
Life seemed simpler then.
She is related to Paris Hilton, I think...hard to keep those older star relationships straight. Eliz. Taylor is related to Paris, I believe. Conrad Hilton, Nicky....so many names.
It is sad to hear of an elderly person breaking hips as many believe that within a year they are dead. Life is so fragile and precious.

I am shocked at how old she is! Wow! Time flies! This could be very very serious at her age. A lot of people do not survive this kind of thing due to their age. I hope she is gonna be okay. Wow! Green Acres! How long ago was that! She was gorgeous back then. Is Ava still alive too? Anybody.
