Follow me on Twitter Anna Nicole Smith has sure had a roller coaster ride of a life.
Starting out as a struggling stripper, Anna became an international celebrity as 1993 Playboy Playmate of the Year. She then married an old stiff who was nice enough to die quickly and leave her millions of dollars. But the coot’s relatives fought the inheritance in court, and Anna lost everything.
Drowning her sorrows in food, Anna blimped up and out of show business, only later to drop 80 pounds and become the spokeswoman for TrimSpa. Anna then starred in her own reality TV show, which was ravaged by critics and died a quick death but has since become a cult favorite. This was followed by Anna’s drunk/drugged appearance on the American Movie Awards, where she immortalized the phrase, “Like my body?” Um, sure.
Fast forward to last month. Anna is in the Bahamas celebrating the birth of her second child with the two men fighting for her love (and both claiming to be the child’s father) and her 20-year-old son Daniel. Tragically, Daniel dies in her hospital room from a lethal combination of prescription drugs.
As a coda to this strange journey, Anna marries her lawyer-boyfriend before even burying her son. Her other boyfriend decides to sue to prove he’s the child’s father. And Anna’s lead attorney decided enough was enough and officially withdrew as her counsel, citing disagreements on matters of strategy and concerns about her conduct.
