BIOGRAPHY / CULTURAL PHENOMENA
Anna Nicole Smith (1967 – 2007) was an American model, actress and blonde celebrity.
Smith began her show business career as a dancer/stripper in Houston, Texas. She first gained nationwide attention when she appeared on the cover of the March 1992 issue of Playboy magazine. She then gained immense popularity as Playboy's 1993 Playmate of the Year. She also became a model for clothing companies, including Guess jeans.
Her highly publicized marriage to oil business executive and billionaire J. Howard Marshall, 63 years her senior, resulted in speculation that she married the octogenarian for his money, which she denied. Following his death, she began a lengthy legal battle over a share of his estate; her case, Marshall v. Marshall, reached the U.S. Supreme Court.
She starred in her own reality TV series, The Anna Nicole Show (2002-2004). In the months before her death, she was the focus of renewed press coverage surrounding the death of her son, Daniel Smith.[1]
