Anna Nicole Smith collapses, dies at 39 By SUZETTE LABOY, Associated Press Writer

HOLLYWOOD, Fla. -        Anna Nicole Smith, the pneumatic blonde whose life played out as an extraordinary tabloid tale — Playboy centerfold, jeans model, bride of an octogenarian oil tycoon, reality-show subject, tragic mother — died Thursday after collapsing at a hotel. She was 39.

She was stricken while staying at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel and Casino and was rushed to a hospital. Edwina Johnson, chief investigator for the Broward County Medical Examiner's Office, said the cause of death was under investigation and an autopsy would be done on Friday.

Just five months ago, Smith's 20-year-old son died suddenly in the Bahamas in what was believed to be a drug-related death.

Seminole Police Chief Charlie Tiger said a private nurse called 911 after finding Smith unresponsive in her sixth-floor room at the hotel, which is on an Indian reservation. He said Smith's bodyguard administered CPR, but she was declared dead at a hospital.

Through the '90s and into the new century, Smith was famous for being famous, a pop-culture punchline because of her up-and-down weight, her Marilyn Monroe looks, her exaggerated curves, her little-girl voice, her ditzy-blonde persona, and her over-the-top revealing outfits.

Recently, she lost a reported 69 pounds and became a spokeswoman for TrimSpa, a weight-loss supplement. On her reality show and other recent TV appearances, her speech was often slurred and she seemed out of it. Some critics said she seemed drugged-out.

Her former lawyer Lenard Leeds told the celebrity gossip Web site TMZ that Smith "always had problems with her weight going up and down, and there's no question she used alcohol." Leeds said it was no secret that "she had a very troubled life" and had "so many, many problems."

"She wanted to be like Marilyn her whole life and ironically died in a similar manner," Leeds said. Monroe died of a drug overdose at age 36 in 1962.

Her attorney Ron Rale told The Associated Press that he had talked to Smith on Tuesday or Wednesday, and she had flu symptoms and a fever and was still grieving over her son.

"Poor Anna Nicole," he said. "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."

The Texas-born Smith was a topless dancer at strip club before she entered her photos in a search contest and made the cover of Playboy magazine in 1992. She became Playboy's playmate of the year in 1993. She was also signed to a contract with Guess jeans, appearing in TV commercials, billboards and magazine ads.

In 1994, she married 89-year-old oil tycoon J. Howard Marshall II, owner of Great Northern Oil Co. In 1992, Forbes magazine estimated his wealth at $550 million.

In a 2005 interview with ABC Smith recalled meeting Marshall at what she called a "gentleman's club' in Houston. "He had no will to live and I went over to see him," she said. "He got a little twinkle in his eyes, and he asked me to dance for him. And I did."

Marshall died in 1995 at age 90, setting off a feud with Smith's former stepson, E. Pierce Marshall, over whether she had a right to his estate.

A federal court in California awarded Smith $474 million. That was later overturned. But in May, the        U.S. Supreme Court revived her case, ruling that she deserved another day in court.

The stepson died June 20 at age 67. But the family said the court fight would continue.

She starred in her own reality TV series, "The Anna Nicole Show," in 2002-04. Cameras followed her around as she sparred with her lawyer, hung out with her personal assistant and interior decorator, and cooed at her poodle, Sugar Pie. She also appeared in movies, performing a bit part in "The Hudsucker Proxy" in 1994.

After news came of Smith's death, G. Eric Brunstad Jr., the lawyer who represented Marshall, said in a statement: "We're very shocked by the news and extend the deepest condolences to her family."

In a statement, Playboy founder Hugh Hefner said: "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."

Smith's son, Daniel Smith, died Sept. 10 in his mother's hospital room in the Bahamas, just days after she gave birth to a daughter.

An American medical examiner hired by the family, Cyril Wecht, said he had methadone and two antidepressants in his system when he died. Low levels of the three drugs interacted to cause an accidental death, Wecht said. Last month, a Bahamas magistrate scheduled a formal inquiry into the death for March 27.

Meanwhile, the paternity of her now 5-month-old daughter remained a matter of dispute. The birth certificate lists Dannielynn's father as attorney Howard K. Stern, Smith's most recent companion. Smith's ex-boyfriend Larry Birkhead was waging a legal challenge, saying he was the father.

Debra Opri, the attorney who filed his paternity suit, said Birkhead "is devastated. He is inconsolable, and we are taking steps now to protect the DNA testing of the child. The child is our No. 1 priority."

She was born Vickie Lynn Hogan on Nov. 28, 1967, in Houston, one of six children of Donald Eugene and Virgie Hart Hogan. She married Bill Smith in 1985, giving birth to Daniel before divorcing two years later.

"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," said Wayne Munroe, her Bahamian lawyer who has overseen the aftermath of her son's mysterious death in Nassau.

Jbg. Mene je ovo baš prodrmalo. Nije da sam bio fan, ruku na srce ANS i nije ostvila neki filmski legat iz sebe - ali mi je bila simpa u Golom pištolju 33 1/3, a bili su mi dragi momenti iz njenog privatnog života - kao, na primer, brak sa onim čikom od 100 godina. Cura je bila oživljeni vic o glupoj plavuši, i čini se da je u tome uživala. Glupo je što je sve ovako ispalo - prvo sin, pa onda i ona - ali, siguran sam da ima i gorih stvari na ovom svetu. RIP!

       We-Ho prince likes to be called "Daddy"

  Among a cast of loonies, "Prince" Frederick
  von Anhalt has somehow managed to make himself
  the most bizarre story in the whole Anna
  Nicole Smith tragedy. Husband of 90 year-
  old Zsa Zsa Gabor, von Anhalt is said to have
  bought his title, knocked more than fifteen
  years off his real age (mid 70s), laid claim
  to a German castle, hit a Beverly Hills
  police officer and now says he's the father
  of Smith's baby.

  That would be something of a surprise. Von
  Anhalt has already tried suing the makers
  of Viagra for causing him to be unable to have
  sex without it. Oh, and most days he can be
  found standing outside Starbucks in West
  Hollywood with his Rolls Royce Silver Shadow,
  looking to attract the attention of the buff
  boys coming out of the Boystown gyms.

(FYI: Von Anhalt said he thought of adopting Anna
Nicole, as did her late husband J Howard Marshall.
But he changed his mind as marriage was
advantageous tax-wise.)

Ako ćemo na ferku, ona je ostavila potomka so is irrelevant za dalji razvoj događaja.

Geni nisu jedina stvar koju želimo da proširimo, nego i naši stavovi i verovanja. To ne možeš kad si mrtav. Kultura je ono što nas odvaja od životinja i što nam je omogućava da maksimalno iskoristimo svoje genske potencijale. Bez kulture mi smo samo inteligentne životinje. U tom smislu je uvek gubitak kad neko umre mlad, makar i ostavio potomka.

Čiji gubitak? Za njegove/njene bližnje - u redu.
Možemo da zahvalimo smrti što neki ljudi nisu preneli svoje gene, stavove i verovanja na svoje potomke.

Za prenos nekih stavova i verovanja je neophodno da si mrtav.

Osim toga, koje je to stavove i verovanja AN-S imala da prenese?

Smrt je uvjek gadna. I uvjek neko ostaje iza nas, da tuguje za nama. A vi, koji smatrate, da je to diskutabilno, ljepo vas molim, podvežite si jaja, da se vam XY ne prosipa naokolo.

Čini se da je Enina sudbina toliko interesantna da se već pripremaju za njenu ekranizaciju. Šarliz Teron treba da glumi En. Izgleda da En nije bila (samo) glupa plavuša, a ako zapravo i naprave taj film, onda njen život, kao i smrt, neće biti "uzaludni" (ne znam koju drugu reč da stavim). Mislim da ste prebrzo Eni prilepili etiketu one koja je zaslužila sve što je snašlo.

Da li ste primetili kako se stari ljudi ne sećaju šta su jeli juče, ali se zato vrlo dobro sećaju nekih (uglavnom nebitnih, ali dobro sad) stvari iz svog života? Da nije i to jedan od mehanizama prirode koji nam je omogućio da se uzdignemo iznad životinjskog sveta?

Anna Nicole Smith's heirs lose court battle

Former Playboy model's estate will not get more moneyfrom her late husband, judge rules

Agence France-PresseMarch 22, 2010

A United States federal appeals court ruled Friday that Anna Nicole Smith's heirs will not receive a penny of the more than $300 million she claimed was her inheritance from her billionaire husband.

The Ninth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in California ruled in favour of E. Pierce Marshall, the son of Texas oil tycoon Howard Marshall, whom the late Playboy centrefold married in 1994 after meeting him while working at a strip club. She was 26 at the time and he was 89.

Marshall died in 1995 after a 14-month marriage, sparking a prolonged legal battle over his $1.6-billion estate.

At the time of her death from an accidental drug overdose in a Florida hotel room in February 2007, Smith's will -- which had not been updated -- left all her wealth to her son Daniel, who had died six months earlier, with lawyer Howard Stern assigned as the estate executor.

The person who had stood to gain from her estate was Smith's daughter Dannielynn Hope, born in September 2006, who was at the centre of a court battle over a fortune in the hundreds of millions of dollars.

When Smith died, the identity of the girl's father was unknown.

Stern, actress Zsa Zsa Gabor's husband Frederic van Anhalt and celebrity photographer Larry Birkhead all filed paternity suits claiming they were the father.

Birkhead was determined to be the girl's father. It remains unclear whether he will pursue further litigation.

London's Royal Opera House announced on Wednesday that it would stage the world premiere of an opera about Smith's life in February next year.

The work is by Mark-Anthony Turnage and writer Richard Thomas, who co-created the controversial production Jerry Springer: The Opera.

A 2007 autopsy found that Smith's death -- a worldwide media sensation at the time -- was due to a lethal cocktail of anti-anxiety medication, methadone, antibiotics and other prescription drugs.

It came just months after her son, 20-year-old Daniel, died from an overdose in the Bahamas in September 2006.
