Los Angeles: Veteran actress Zsa Zsa Gabor is reportedly on the verge of losing her leg as doctors try to stop a massive blood clot from spreading her body.

Gabor's husband Frederic von Anhalt fears that her leg will be amputated as doctors advised him to have the surgery done before the holidays but Gabor refused. The medics since then warned that if the surgery is not performed immediately she would lose her life, TMZ online reported.

The ageing star was hospitalised last year after she complained about pain and swelling in one of her legs and was taken to the UCLA Medical Center.

"She's taking a lot of medicine right now," said Von Anhalt, adding she had poor circulation in her right leg. The 93-year-old actress has been in and out of hospital since breaking her hip last year. She became so frail at one stage that a priest was called to read the last rites.
