Anna Nicole Smith Biography

Anna Nicole Smith Early life

Anna Nicole Smith was born in Houston, Texas as Vickie Lynn Hogan. When Anna Nicole Smith was very young, Anna Nicole Smith's family moved to Mexia, a small town 79 miles (127 km) south of Dallas. Anna Nicole Smith's father left the family when Smith was a child and Anna Nicole Smith was raised by Anna Nicole Smith's mother and aunt. Anna has a half-sister, Donna Hogan. While growing up, Smith told others that Anna Nicole Smith wanted to be the next Marilyn Monroe. Smith worked at Jim's Krispy Chicken restaurant in Mexia in Anna Nicole Smith's teens. On April 4, 1985, at age 17, Anna Nicole Smith married Billy Smith, a cook at the restaurant, who was 16. The next year, Anna Nicole Smith gave birth to Anna Nicole Smith's first child, the late Daniel Wayne Smith, and the following year Anna Nicole Smith and Billy divorced.

In Anna Nicole Smith's early 20s, Smith worked at a variety of low-paying jobs while supporting Anna Nicole Smith's son Daniel. While working as an exotic dancer at a nightclub in Houston under various names including Nikki, Robin and Anna Nicole, Anna Nicole Smith met oil billionaire J. Howard Marshall, a frequent customer of the strip club. With Marshall's money, Smith had cosmetic surgery to increase Anna Nicole Smith's breast size, paid for photographers, publicists, wardrobe, living expenses, hair and make-up stylists, bodyguards, talent agents, attorneys and a host of other support staff.

Anna Nicole Smith Playboy and modeling career

Smith's career took off after appearing on the cover of the March 1992 issue Playboy magazine wearing a low-cut evening gown. Anna Nicole Smith secured a contract to replace supermodel Claudia Schiffer in the Guess? jeans ad campaign in a series of sultry black and white photographs. Guess? capitalized on Anna Nicole's strong resemblance to sex symbol Jayne Mansfield and even put Anna Nicole Smith's in Jayne inspired photo sessions. Smith then posed nude for Playboy as the May 1992 centerfold (under Anna Nicole Smith's given name). Smith was subsequently called "the next Marilyn Monroe" in press reports, a comparison Anna Nicole Smith encouraged by wearing a hair style reminiscent of Monroe's, as well as Anna Nicole Smith's trademark white dress. Smith was chosen to be the 1993 Playmate of the Year. Anna Nicole Smith finally settled on the name "Anna Nicole Smith" by the time of Anna Nicole Smith's PMOY pictorial. Smith once did a nude Playboy lay out in Jayne Mansfield's famous "Pink Palace" mansion.

Anna Nicole Smith Marriage to Marshall

Smith married Anna Nicole Smith's second husband, oil billionaire J. Howard Marshall on June 27, 1994. Anna Nicole Smith was 26; he was 89. According to an E! profile, Smith had other relationships and was generally indifferent to Marshall, with whom Anna Nicole Smith never lived. Anna Nicole Smith's alleged romantic interests included bodybuilder Clay Spires, Scott Baio, John Travolta's nephew Rikki, and real estate mogul Jonathan McManus. J. Howard's nurse told E! that Smith never visited him as his condition became terminal, and was not with him when he died.

Anna Nicole Smith Marshall V. Marshall, 04-1544

Within weeks after J. Howard's death on August 4, 1995, Smith squared off against his son, E. Pierce Marshall, for half of Anna Nicole Smith's late husband's $1.6 billion estate. Smith joined forces with J. Howard's other son, James Howard Marshall III, whom the elder Howard had disowned. Howard III claimed J. Howard verbally promised him a portion of his estate; like Smith, Howard III was also left out of J. Howard's will, which he updated weeks after their marriage. The case has gone on for more than a decade, producing a highly publicized court battle in Texas and several judicial decisions that have gone both for and against Smith in that time.

Smith claimed J. Howard verbally promised Anna Nicole Smith's half of his estate if Anna Nicole Smith married him. In September, 2000, a Los Angeles bankruptcy judge awarded Smith $449,754,134. Pierce appealed, and in July 2001, Houston judge Mike Wood vacated that award and ordered Smith to pay over $1 million in fees and expenses to Pierce's legal team. In March 2002, Anna Nicole Smith was awarded $88 million. In December 2004, a three-judge panel of the U.S. 9th Circuit Court of Appeals reversed the March 2002 decision, saying that Smith is not one of J. Howard Marshall's heirs. The U.S. Supreme Court decided in September of 2005 to hear the appeal of that decision. The Bush Administration subsequently directed the Solicitor General to intercede on Smith's behalf out of an interest to protect federal court jurisdiction in state probate disputes.

After months of waiting, Smith and Anna Nicole Smith's step-son Pierce learned of the Supreme Court's decision on May 1, 2006. The justices unanimously decided in favor of Smith. Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg wrote the majority opinion, stating that Smith should get a chance to pursue Anna Nicole Smith's claims in federal court. (See Marshall v. Marshall.)

This decision does not give Smith a portion of Anna Nicole Smith's husband's estate; it merely reaffirms that Anna Nicole Smith has the right to fight for it in federal court. It is expected that the long-running legal drama will not end any time soon, because many remaining issues need to be decided upon remand. On June 20, 2006, E. Pierce Marshall died at the age of 67 after an infection.

As reported by Court TV and in the article "Family Vows To Battle Anna Nicole Smith," published in USA Today on July 24, 2006, E. Pierce Marshall's widow, Elaine Tettemer Marshall (born January 12, 1939), now represents Anna Nicole Smith's late husband's estate, which continues to oppose Anna Nicole Smith in the case Marshall v. Marshall.

Anna Nicole Smith Reality television

The Anna Nicole Show first season DVDDuring the course of the litigation, Smith's career stalled. Though Anna Nicole Smith's roles in The Hudsucker Proxy and Naked Gun 33 1/3: The Final Insult, both in 1994, were highly publicized, Anna Nicole Smith's acting career did not take off. Anna Nicole Smith was instead relegated to low-budget movies such as Skyscraper and became regular fodder for the tabloids due to Anna Nicole Smith's legal battle over Anna Nicole Smith's nonagenarian husband's estate, Anna Nicole Smith's increasing weight, and Anna Nicole Smith's reportedly bizarre behavior. In 2002, Anna Nicole Smith was given Anna Nicole Smith's own reality TV series on the E! cable television network; The Anna Nicole Show which focused on Anna Nicole Smith's personal and private life in the manner of other "reality" shows, such as ratings hit The Osbournes. The show's debut was the highest rated show on the network, but critics blasted the show and ratings dropped with each successive week. However, the show achieved a kind of camp or cult status as many fans found humor in Smith's absurd antics. The show was cancelled in February 2004, due to "creative differences," but has retained some life in reruns and on DVD releases.

Anna Nicole Smith as spokesperson

In an interview on Late Night with Conan O'Brien Anna Nicole Smith was asked what Anna Nicole Smith's "Playmate " consisted of. Anna Nicole Smith instantly replied, "fried chicken." In October, 2003, Anna Nicole Smith became a spokesperson for TrimSpa, which helped Anna Nicole Smith's to lose a reported 69 lb (31 kg)

. In November 2004, Anna Nicole Smith appeared as a presenter at the American Music Awards and attracted attention because of Anna Nicole Smith's strange behavior. During Anna Nicole Smith's live appearance, Anna Nicole Smith made cryptic, murmured comments about Anna Nicole Smith's body and TrimSpa. This incident became comic material for the rest of the presenters and featured in the news the next day. Tabloids speculated that Anna Nicole Smith was under the influence of pills or some other controlled substance. Anna Nicole Smith's representatives explained that Anna Nicole Smith was in pain due to a series of grueling work-outs, and asserted that Anna Nicole Smith had difficulty reading the prompter because Anna Nicole Smith was not wearing Anna Nicole Smith's contact lenses. After reportedly losing some 80 pounds, Smith returned to Anna Nicole Smith's form from the early 1990s.

In March 2005, at the first MTV Australia Video Music Awards in Sydney's Luna Park, Anna Nicole Smith spoofed Janet Jackson's wardrobe malfunction by pulling down Anna Nicole Smith's dress to reveal both breasts, each covered with the MTV logo.

She has also been featured in advertisements for the animal rights group PETA. Spoofing Marilyn Monroe's "DiamondsAre a Girl's Best Friend" segment in Gentlemen Prefer Blondes, a 2004 ad states "Fur-free blondes are best." In another ad the following year, Smith posed with Anna Nicole Smith's dogs in a campaign against Iams dogfood for their alleged cruelty to animals. As of 2006, Smith has given up modeling, though Anna Nicole Smith remains a spokesperson for TrimSpa.

Birth of Anna Nicole Smith's daughter and death of Anna Nicole Smith's son

On June 1, 2006, Smith announced on Anna Nicole Smith's official website that Anna Nicole Smith was 5 months pregnant. Although Anna Nicole Smith will not publicly name the father, it is rumored to be photojournalist Larry Birkhead. On September 7, 2006, Smith gave birth to a baby girl, Hannah, at Doctors Hospital in Nassau, Bahamas. Three days later, on September 10, Smith's 20-year-old son, Daniel Wayne Smith, died suddenly while visiting his mother in Anna Nicole Smith's hospital room. Although the cause of death has not yet been officially determined, officials have ruled out a heart attack or other "natural causes". A coroner's inquest was ordered when it has been revealed that a "third person", later identified as Smith's attorney, Howard K. Stern, was present in the hospital room with Anna and Anna Nicole Smith's son just prior to the time of his death.

The autopsy performed by Smith family coroner Dr. Cyril Wecht on September 16, 2006 found evidence of antidepressant medication, but ruled out several natural causes, including heart disease, stroke, or congenital defects. Foul play and "suicidal overdose" were also ruled out by both Dr. Wecht and Bahamian coroner Linda Virgill. Swedish papers reported that Anna Nicole Smith has been granted permanent residency in the Bahamas by Prime Minister Perry Christie, although Anna Nicole Smith plans to bury Anna Nicole Smith's son in the U.S. The autopsy and toxicology reports will not be made public until the inquest is held, to avoid prejudicing the jury.

Anna Nicole Smith Birth of daughter

Smith announced on June 1, 2006, in a video clip posted on her official website that she was pregnant. "Let me stop all the rumors," she said, while floating on an inflatable raft in a swimming pool. "Yes, I am pregnant. I'm happy, I'm very, very happy about it. Everything's goin' really, really good and I'll be checking in and out periodically on the web, and I'll let you see me as I'm growing."

Though her announcement did not provide any details, in an interview with Larry King on CNN's Larry King Live, Smith's longtime personal attorney Howard K. Stern said that he had loved her for quite some time and they were confident he fathered the baby because of the timing of the pregnancy. However, her ex-boyfriend, entertainment photojournalist Larry Birkhead, steadfastly maintained his contention that he is the baby's father and filed a lawsuit to challenge paternity.

Smith's daughter, Dannielynn Hope Marshall Stern, was born September 7, 2006, at Doctors Hospital in Nassau, Bahamas. The Bahamian birth certificate records the father as Howard K. Stern.

A judge in the United States ordered that DNA tests be performed to determine who is the biological father of Dannielynn.

Anna Nicole Smith Death of son

Smith's 20-year-old son, Daniel Smith, died suddenly on September 10, 2006 in his mother's hospital room while visiting her and his newborn sister. After the coroner labeled the death "reserved," Smith hired forensic pathologist Cyril Wecht to perform a second autopsy.

Dr. Wecht announced on Larry King Live that the procedure he performed on September 17, showed that Daniel died from a lethal combination of Zoloft, Lexapro and methadone. Although he explained that methadone is used in the treatment of heroin and Morphine addiction, he said he has no information to make any conclusion about the reason he was using the drug.

On September 18, Getty Images sold the last photos taken of Daniel alive at his mother's bedside to In Touch Weekly and Entertainment Tonight for at least $650,000. As of November 19, Wecht had still not been paid for his services, but stated that he was in contact with Smith's attorneys and was confident the matter would soon be resolved.

His death certificate was issued on September 21, so that he could be buried. While Smith remained in the Bahamas with Dannielynn and Stern, Daniel's family in the United States, including his father, Billy Smith, gathered with friends on October 7, in Mexia, Texas, for a memorial service.

Daniel was buried at Lake View Cemetery on Nassau Island, Bahamas, on October 19, almost six weeks after his death. It was reported that Smith intended to live on the island, with no plans to return to the U.S.

Anna Nicole Smith Commitment ceremony with Stern

On September 28, 2006, Smith and Howard K. Stern exchanged vows and rings in an informal commitment ceremony aboard the 41-foot catamaran Margaritaville off the coast of the Bahamas. She wore a white dress and carried a bouquet of red roses, while he wore a black dress suit with white shirt. Although they pledged their love and made a commitment to be there for one another before a Baptist minister, no marriage certificate was issued and the ceremony is not legally binding.

After the ceremony, the couple jumped into the water in their clothes and swam to a nearby island where they had a party and celebrated with champagne, apple cider and Kentucky Fried Chicken that had been brought over for the occasion by sailboat.

Regarding the questionable timing of the ceremony, Smith's attorney in Nassau, stated, "This was intended to be a lift to steel them for Daniel's Funeral." The photos of their wedding were sold through Getty Images to People Magazine for around $1,000,000.
