Hollywood legend Zsa Zsa Gabor's husband wants her body to be plastinated and put on show after she passes away.

Prince Frederick von Anhalt has said he wants to preserve the 93-year-old's body so her beauty will last forever, saying he would prefer the method used by German doctor Gunther von Hagens, who replaces water and fat in bodies with plastics, leaving them in a fully preserved fashion, reports femalefirst.co.uk.

'My wife has always dreamt that her beauty would be immortal. I would like to show the plastinated body of Zsa Zsa Gabor in the context of a scene in one of her films,' he said.

Gunther has staged a number of different shows around the world which feature the skinless bodies of anonymous and unidentifiable donors, preserved and posed in a number of different ways to allow members of the public to study human anatomy.
