Murder123 Presents The Curious Story of Anna Nicole Smith
Anna Nicole Smith was an American model, actress, and television
personality. Smith first gained popularity in Playboy magazine when she
won the title of 1993 Playmate of the Year.
Smith dropped out of high school at age 14 in 1982, married in 1985, and
divorced in 1993. In 1994, her highly publicized second marriage to
89-year-old billionaire J. Howard Marshall
resulted in speculation that she married the octogenarian for his
money, which she denied. Following Marshall's death in 1995, Smith began
a lengthy legal battle over a share of his estate.
Anna Nicole Smith died in 2007 in a Hollywood, Florida
hotel room, room 607, as a result of an overdose of prescription drugs. In the
months leading up to her death, Smith was the focus of renewed press
coverage surrounding the death of her son, Daniel, and the paternity and custody battle over her newborn daughter, Dannielynn Birkhead.
