|
|
The flamboyant former model Anna Nicole Smith has died near Miami, Florida at the age of 39, her lawyer has said.
Smith, a former Playboy bunny, married Texas oil billionaire J Howard Marshall II in 1994 when she was 26 and he was 89. He died a year later.
She spent years in court fighting his son for a share of his estate, and won a victory at the Supreme Court in 2006.
She was found unconscious in a hotel room and could not be resuscitated. No cause of death has been announced.
US media have reported that an autopsy will be conducted on Friday.
One of Smith's lawyers told Reuters news agency her husband Howard K Stern was "speechless and grieving".
Smith, a former topless dancer, went on to model for Guess Jeans and Playboy before marrying Marshall.
Her son from a short-lived youthful marriage died at the age of 20 in September, just days after Smith's daughter was born. |

Mark,
I've never heard of Anna Nicole Smith. Wouldn't it be better if you just posted a link BUT ONLY if you have an opinion or something interesting to add?
I'm getting fed up of this section.
I loved the Meldrew message though

How ironic that a gold digger who married an 87 year old tycoon should herself die at such a young age?
Smith is famous for the following notables:
- Playboy Playmate of the year 1993
- marrying an 87 year old oil tycoon (he died the year after) and Smith & her step son had a famous row over the will
- her reality tv show
- and now for dying "like Marilyn" to quote one of the papers. _________________ His name was ernie ........ and he drove the fastest milk cart in the west..... |

Did she die from a bad back? Carrying those weights around each day can't have been good for her.... _________________ Author: “To the Ends of the Earth: A Snapshot of Aviation in North-Eastern Siberia, Summer 1992”

She was quite attractive when she first appeared on the scene (with some 50s-style Guess Jeans ads) but seems to have had such a troubled life that she'll only be remembered for being a bit of a freakshow. A shame, really, but rather inevitable. |

It makes the "Naked Gun 33 1/3: The Final Insult" even more of a cult film now.

I don't particularly care what has happened to her, but what about her poor baby daughter?
Three men fighting for custody, hope it gets settled very quickly so the poor little thing has a proper home.
I wonder if they're all fighting paternity because of the money she will inherit from her Mother?

I very much doubt this, it's who the mother was. They could use the baby to make more money. The people concerned have enough money. It's a strange law the US have, it's all about greed. |

Presumably they want custody of the kid so that they can help it spend her inheritance. _________________ His name was ernie ........ and he drove the fastest milk cart in the west..... |

Lucky we are sending the Beckhams to LA to act as missionaries to America; converting those greedy ammoral people over to a simpler more spiritual life. _________________ His name was ernie ........ and he drove the fastest milk cart in the west..... |

Wasn't she still fighting over the money from her late husband before she died? Some reports say her death was similar to marilyn monroes? Bet her death was linked to the white house ( we think? ) |

Similar to Monroe in so far as it was probably an overdose by an unhappy woman who took too many pills. _________________ His name was ernie ........ and he drove the fastest milk cart in the west..... |

Death of her son who she was very close too and her ex husband, and fighting over who the father was would proberly drive someone to depression? She drank and took pills to try and blank all this out. It ended in her dying. Indeed very sad story. |
