Anna Nicole Smith Biography.

Anna Nicole Smith was born on November 28, 1967. She was an American model, actress and television personality. Smith first gained popularity in Playboy, becoming the 1993 Playmate of the Year. She modelled for clothing companies, including Guess Jeans and Lane Bryant.

In 1992, Smith was chosen by Hugh Hefner to appear on the cover of the March issue of Playboy, where she was listed as Vickie Smith, wearing a low-cut evening gown. The centrefold was photographed by Stephen Wayda. Smith once said she planned to be “the next Marilyn Monroe”. Becoming one of Playboy’s most popular models, Smith was heavier and larger than the typical Playboy model. Smith was chosen to be the 1993 Playmate of the Year. By the time of her PMOY pictorial, she had settled on the name, Anna Nicole Smith.

Smith dropped out of high school and was married in 1985. Her highly publicised second marriage to oil business mogul J. Howard Marshall, 62 years her senior, resulted in speculation that she married such an elderly person for his money, which she denied. Following Marshall’s death, Smith began a lengthy legal battle over a share of his estate; her case, Marshall v. Marshall, reached the U.S. Supreme Court on a question of federal jurisdiction.

She died on February 8, 2007 in a hotel room in Florida as a result of an overdose of prescription drugs. Within the final six months of her life, Smith was the focus of renewed press coverage surrounding the death of her son, Daniel and the paternity and custody battle over her biological daughter Dannielynn.
