Henry Kissinger was about to get lucky with Zsa Zsa Gabor. And it was due, in
part, to Richard M. Nixon’s setting them up. Seriously.

The diplomat and the Hungarian American socialite were an unlikely couple, but
they had hit it off after sitting next to each other during a state dinner at
the White House, with the actress raving about Kissinger’s big brain. Kissinger
drove her home after dinner in Beverly Hills in 1970 and asked whether he could
come inside for a drink, “with Henry showing signs of making an amorous approach
to me,” Gabor recalled in “One Lifetime Is Not Enough,” her 1991 autobiography.
