Constance Francesca Gabor Hilton (March 10, 1947 – January 5, 2015) was an American actress, photographer and comedian. She was the only daughter of Hilton Hotel founder Conrad Hilton with his second wife, actress and socialite Zsa Zsa Gabor.
Francesca Hilton was born in 1947 in New York City.
Her father, Conrad Nicholas Hilton, was the founder of the Hilton Hotel chain. Her mother, Zsa Zsa Gabor, was a Hungarian-born actress and socialite. She was the only child of Zsa Zsa Gabor and therefore the only descendant of the Gabor sisters as well as the only daughter of Conrad Hilton. Her three half-brothers are Conrad Nicholson Hilton, Jr. (1926-1969); William Barron Hilton (born 1927); and Eric Michael Hilton (1933-2016). She attended movie premieres with her mother and competed in equestrian competitions as a child. In 1947, while Hilton was an infant, a burglar entered their home and tied up Zsa Zsa Gabor and their housekeeper, and threatened to kill Francesca. The burglar stole jewelry worth over $750,000.
She worked in reservations at the Beverly Hilton Hotel in Beverly Hills, California during summers as a teenager. When her father died in 1979, he left most of his wealth to the Conrad N. Hilton Foundation. She contested the will, which left her only $100,000, but lost the suit.
She starred in A Safe Place in 1971 and The Gravy Train in 1974. She worked as a photographer in the 1980s. She also worked for the Conrad N. Hilton Foundation.
In 2008, she started a new career as a comedian, performing on a regular basis at The Comedy Store in West Hollywood. Her show talked about her family. She joked that her great-nieces, Paris Hilton and Nicky Hilton, were "pole dancers and porn stars."
