| Anna Nicole
Smith Born in
November 28, 1967, the former Guess? Girl died far too soon
in February 2007. Vickie Lynn Hogan became a Playboy Playmate
of the Month in May 1992 and then later that same year became
Playmate of the Year. She also appeared in two Playboy videos,
also that same year.
Vickie Lynn had become Anna Nicole by the
time she made her film debut in 1994’s “The
Hudsucker Proxy” and appeared in “Naked Gun
33 1/3: The Final Insult”. The following year she
appeared in the racy “Skyscraper.”
Anna Nicole divorced husband Billy Smith
in 1987; the couple had one child, a son. She then married
J. Howard Marshal in June 1994, a man decades older than
her. When he died the following year, it set off a years
long struggle against his family, most vocally his son,
for the rights to the man’s vast estate. Anna Nicole
eventually walked away from those court proceedings with
roughly $88 million dollars.
In August of 2002, Anna Nicole appeared
in a reality show on E!, which chronicled the former model’s
descent into despair. The critics loathed the show, but
viewers tuned in to watch what horror would befall the tragic
woman next. Tragedy did seem to follow her: In September
2006, her 20 year old son died from a drug overdose not
long after the birth of her daughter. That same daughter
threw Anna Nicole back into court, facing a DNA controversy
as two men swore that the child was theirs. Facing eviction
and a false claims lawsuit stemming from a woman’s
dissatisfaction with her use of Trimspa, Smith was found
in her Hard Rock Hotel Room, unresponsive. She was rushed
to the hospital, but pronounced dead within an hour of her
arrival there.
Perhaps because of her blonde hair, or
perhaps because of the tragedy that her life took, there
have been many comparison drawn between Anna Nicole and
Marilyn Monroe. Anna Nicole did wear her hair in Monroe’s
style for a number of photo shoots, and once posed in a
replica of the infamous white dress. Big, poufy hairdos
did not suit her very well, and she always looked better
when she wore her baby fine blonde hair straight and loose.
