ANNA NICOLE SMITH
28 November 1967 - 9 February 2007
Born Vickie Lynn Hogan in the tiny Texas hamlet of Mexcina Anna Nicole was a high school drop out who first married a burger flipper and who later stood on the verge of collecting a half a billion dollars from her deceased Texas billionaire husband. She would never see a penny of the money as the case was tied up in courts by J. Howard Marshall II’s family who saw the marriage as a farce and Anna Nicole as an opportunistic gold digger. Look, this was one hot babe and she slept with a shriveled up eighty something year old guy, so she deserved something.
She is most famous simply for being a limelight loving attention seeker with a resilient attitude. A former Playboy playmate and reality TV show star she did a few campy movie roles and starred in one movie by the Cohen brothers. She suffered from a series of life problems that along with her constant litigations included drug and weight problems, the recent death of her son,a cutody battle over her new born baby and scorching attacks from tabloids and TV shows. She is the trailer park to penthouse story that ends tragically.
She was simple and naïve and her story is almost Marilyn Monroe like in nature. She was beautiful and voluptuous but did not run from the cameras after she porked out on fast food, and she would later return slim and triumphant and the spokesperson for a fitness center. She no doubt suffered from her personal tragedies and maybe those things wore her down, who knows. She was a pretty nice person at one time I feel who had to learn to act tough. Maybe she was not such a nice person in the end. I have already read some nasty, bitter commentaries on her life (mostly by women) and we will not do that here at the Cafe. Rest in peace Anna Nicole.
