Doctors in Los Angeles plan to let Zsa Zsa Gabor return home Friday, about three weeks after the 93-year-old actress was hospitalized with a broken hip.
Gabor's publicist, John Blanchette, said Saturday that she would spend the rest of the week receiving physical therapy.
Gabor's husband, Prince Frederic von Anhalt, told Blanchette that the actress was joking with nurses but that she appeared depressed. He hoped the return home would restore her spirit.
Blanchette said Gabor broke her hip July 17 after her wheelchair tipped over. The Hungarian-born actress's condition began to deteriorate after hip-replacement surgery days later.
Blanchette said von Anhalt bought the actress a $25,000 hospital bed and was arranging for home care in anticipation of her return.

FILM REVIEW: Men in Black 3 by Eli Glasner May. 25, 2012 11:40 AM Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones are back in the action sequel Men in Black 3, a third instalment of a series now 15 years old. Though new addition Josh Brolin manages some amazing mimicry as a younger version of Jones, the story doesn't measure up to the weird and wonderful charms of the original, says film reviewer Eli Glasner.
