BUDAPEST BULLET : "OVERDOSE" the HORSE PRIMED FOR RACING
"Although it sounds unlikely, half of Hungary will be tuned into live television coverage of the Betfred.com Temple Stakes at Haydock on Saturday when Overdose, the 'Budapest Bullet’, makes his British debut and attempts to improve on his record of 15 wins from 16 starts."
Zoltan Mikoczy is the owner.
"Yesterday, Mikoczy, a steel trader and Hungary’s biggest owner, spoke about how his life was now all-consumed by the horse and how 'Dozy’ had turned around Hungarian racing after the previous Government sought to wind it down and sell Kincsem Park, the country’s only racecourse, as a shopping mall, like it had done the local trotting track.
“They almost achieved what they wanted. Then came Overdose. Hungary was once a great racing nation and is eager for some sporting success on the international stage."

ZSA ZSA GABOR IN COMA AND FAILING - BREAKING NEWS
Zsa Zsa Gabor, after two weeks in the hospital, may just be dying this time. Just recently it was reported that after Elizabeth Taylor died she said she would be next. Gabor is said to be 92, and as we know the Gabor sisters were known for hiding their true ages, and she has been in very poor heath for some time. I'm linking to the LA Times blog here, the local newspaper for Hollywood.
Zsa Zsa and her sisters brought wit and feminine glamour to Hollywood.

HUNGARIAN AMERICAN : DREW BARRYMORE
DREW BLYTH BARRYMORE has been on the COVER of HUNGARIAN ELLE and other magazines in Hungary. Maybe the Hungarians are even more knowledgeable about who in America is of Hungarian heritage than we are!
Drew was born in Culver City (where there has been movie making since the silent film era, most famously the location of Charlie Chaplin's studio), on February 22, 1975. She is Hungarian- American through her mother, actress Ildiko Jaid Makó (Her great-grandfather, Maurice Barrymore was of English heritage, and the Barrymores were famous in old Hollywood.) Her first movie role was as a child actress in E.T. The Extraterrestrial, a warm hearted tale. She went on to produce a remake of Charlie's Angels, in which she also starred. And to star in the hit television show, Grey Gardens.

Laszlo Szesztay, commercial director of the Herend Porcelain Manufacture, said the original Victoria pattern has been given a "youthful and modern" feel dominated by greens and yellows. He noted that Charles, Prince of Wales, and Lady Diana had also received a Herend set from Hungary for their wedding in 1981."
