I'll be watching CNN's Larry King tonight for coverage of this story for he knew Anna Nicole Smith as few others did.
Since she first splashed into fame with her Playboy spread at age 24, the last fifteen years of her life certainly fascinated a large segment of the North American public. ANS was quite a character whose life outstripped fiction.
A child born into the life of a dirt poor family, a stripper, Playboy model, Guess jeans model, golddigger (although I wager there was no illusion in the mind of her 89 y.o. husband), Playmate of the Year, B film bit actress, bizarre reality show personality, voluptuous hot woman to well overweight to voluptuous again, tabloid fodder, talkshow guest, amateur artist, loving mom, tragic figure, dead at only 39.
