This morning Prince Frederic von Anhalt, the eccentric husband of ailing 93-year-old actress Zsa Zsa Gabor, must "make a life-or-death decision" about his wife's infected leg, says KTLA.

Gabor has been in poor health, and in and out of the hospital for the past few years.

She is said to be "frail but alert" and wanted to ring in the New Year quietly at home.
