A tribute to Anna Nicole Smith

8th February 2012

After half a decade of the death of Anna Nicole Smith, she is remembered as one of the most famous Playmates of the world- renowned Playboy magazine. 

On February 8, 2007, Smith was found unresponsive at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Miami.  Her death was a result of overdose of prescription drugs. Before Smith's body was buried, it began decomposing at a faster-than-normal pace due to the drugs found in her body in the autopsy which  resulted in the family having a closed-casket funeral.

Born in Texas, Anna Nicole was the child of Donald Eugene Hogan and Virgie Mae. She had five half siblings including half-sister Donna Hogan. Anna Nicole was raised by her mother and aunt. Anna Nicole attended Durkee Elementary School and Aldine Intermediate School in Houston. At Mexia High School, Anna Nicole failed her freshman year and later quit school during her sophomore year. 

Largely known for her modeling career, her film appearances were limited to Hudsucker Pony and Naked Gun 33 and 1/3: The final result. She debuted in her own reality show in 2002, The Anna Nicole Show. Apart from that she was known for her famous personal life where in her highly published marriage to oil mogul, J Howard Marshall, 62 years her senior was a huge media event. 

She left her legacy and personal property to her son Daniel solely.  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. A six-foot-deep black granite monument was installed at Smith's grave in the Bahamas, as of February 2009.
