Francesca Hilton

Constance Francesca Gabor Hilton (March 10, 1947 – January 5, 2015), known as Francesca Hilton, was an American actress and comedian, member of the Hilton family. She was the only child of Hilton Hotels founder Conrad Hilton and his second wife, actress and socialite Zsa Zsa Gabor.

Early life and family

Hilton was born in 1947 in New York City, after her parents were granted a divorce in September 1946. Her father, Conrad Hilton, was the founder of the Hilton Hotels chain. Her mother Zsa Zsa Gabor and her aunts (Eva and Magda) were Hungarian-born actresses and socialites. Gabor's 1991 autobiography One Lifetime Is Not Enough alleged that her pregnancy was a result of rape by then-husband Conrad Hilton.

She was the only child of Zsa Zsa Gabor and therefore the only descendant of the Gabor sisters as well as the only daughter of Conrad Hilton. Her three half-brothers were Conrad Hilton Jr., Barron Hilton, and Eric Hilton. She attended movie premieres with her mother and competed in equestrian competitions as a child. In 1947, while Hilton was an infant, a burglar entered their home and tied up Zsa Zsa Gabor and their housekeeper, and threatened to kill Francesca. The burglar stole jewelry worth over $750,000.

Francesca worked in reservations at the Beverly Hilton Hotel in Beverly Hills, California, during summers as a teenager. At the time of her death, she was engaged to Michael Natsis. According to her publicist, Edward Lozzi, she had been writing an autobiography. She also worked for the Conrad N. Hilton Foundation.
