Born Vickie Lynn Hogan on November 28, 1967 in Mexia, Texas, Anna Nicole Smith overcame a difficult childhood rising to fame as a model for Guess jeans, Playboy magazine and controversial marriage to 89 year old oil tycoon J. Howard Marshall II. Having experienced great joy and tragedy in her personal life, Smith died of an accidental drug overdose in 2007.
While ridiculed by some for her spacey persona, Smith was also admired for her rise to success despite so many personal obstacles. Perhaps the quintessential underdog, Smith had lots of fans rooting for her to overcome the recent tragedies. Unfortunately, that was not to be. After her death, she has been compared to many of Hollywood’s beautiful women who died too young, including Jean Harlow and Anna Nicole Smith’s personal favorite, Marilyn Monroe.
today marks the fifth anniversary of her death...
rest well, Anna Nicole
