American Tragedy
Stripper-American and human trainwreck Anna Nicole Smith was an inspiration to stripper-Americans and human trainwrecks everywhere. Nov. 28, 1967- Feb. 8, 2007. Don’t weep for Anna Nicole Smith. Stripper turned Playmate and model, golddigger extraordinaire. She wanted to be like Marilyn Monroe, and though she wasn’t, not exactly, OK, pretty much not at all, nobody can say she didn’t do her damnedest.
OK, here we go. Ugly details:
At the Hard Rock, Ron Hanson, 57, a Hollywood retiree who spends a lot of time at the casino, said he often saw the 5-foot-11 former Playmate there but rarely saw her gambling.Hanson said he last saw Smith at a casino boxing match three weeks ago. She was wearing oversized black sunglasses and friends helped her stand up and sit down as the bout progressed, he said.“She was completely out of it,” Hanson said.… A nearby Davie resident, Karen Stenzel-Nowicki, has complained to the hotel about noise from Smith’s parties there going back to November 2004, when newspaper accounts said Smith threw a party after doing a commercial for TrimSpa, the weight loss company. As a paid spokeswoman for the company, she recently lost 69 pounds.“We were being blasted out,” Stenzel-Nowicki said of one pool party that she said could be heard almost 2 miles away. “In the past she has had parties there, very loud parties.”
Mom: “I tried to warn her about the drugs and the people she hung around. She didn’t listen.”Reax Roundup. A lot of shocked and saddened lawyers and other dear friends who only had Anna Nicole’s best interests at heart:
“I am very saddened to learn about Anna Nicole’s passing. She was a dear friend who meant a great deal to the Playboy family and to me personally.” - Playboy founder Hugh Hefner. “Our family was shocked by the untimely death of Anna Nicole Smith. We wish to express our sympathies to her family in this difficult time.” - The family of Smith’s deceased husband, J Howard Marshall II. Led by E Pierce Marshall, who died in June, the Marshalls have battled Smith in court for the oil tycoon’s fortune. “She was a great friend to animals and used every opportunity to speak out against senseless cruelty. … It is a tragedy when anyone passes away before their time, but with Anna Nicole, animals have lost a true hero and PETA has lost a good friend.” - Michael McGraw, director of media relations for People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals. “Anna knew both the joy of giving life, and the heartache of losing a child. We pray that she is granted the peace that eluded her more recent days on earth, and that she find comfort in the presence of her son, Daniel.” - Alex Goen, CEO and founder of TrimSpa. “Poor Anna Nicole. She’s been the underdog. She’s been besieged … and she’s been trying her best and nobody should have to endure what she’s endured.” - Smith’s attorney, Ron Rale. “From my professional exposure to Anna Nicole, I can say she was always personable, down to earth and driven. All in all, a joy to have as a client.” - Wayne Munroe, Smith’s Bahamian lawyer who has overseen the aftermath of her son’s mysterious death in Nassau. “For those of us who worked closely with Anna Nicole and got to know the woman behind the public persona, this is devastating news. She was a sweet person who adored her son, made us laugh and cry with her, and who was never afraid of what others may have thought of her. There will never be another like her, and I already miss her.” - Jeff Shore, head of E! Studios. “This is a very tragic and sad day. Personally I feel she did not survive the loss of her son Daniel, who was the love of her life.” - Paul Marciano, CEO of Guess Inc, for which Smith appeared in TV commercials, billboards and magazine ads. “Anna Nicole was smart, and no matter how the media portrayed her, she was a good mother, a good friend, a very special person, and she will be missed deeply.” - Actress-model Cindy Margolis. “Her poor little baby, you know, that little girl having to grow up without a mother. That’s the first thing I thought of. I wish her family the best, I really do.” - Country singer LeAnn Rimes.

I’m sorry to see her die such a needless death as well as having such a trashy life.
Goes to show that money and looks don’t buy happiness if you have a vain, cheap soul.

The lifestyle choices she endorsed killed her son and herself and left a baby parentless.
