Sad news. She's my age. Her crazy lifestyle should be a lesson to some of these young starlets who do nothing but party all night to take it easy. Stay home and watch a movie (or a ball game) instead of hitting the clubs every night.

This reminds me of wrestler Eddie Guerrero. He was a top of the world until he died also. I remember him being a super small man but when he disappeared from the WWE and reappeared he was hulk hogans size.

People want to mess their bodies by drinking hard liquor and drugs all day, this is story that repeats itself all the time.

I have lost several friends and co workers already because of their lifestyles.

Exactly right. Athletes I can understand, but ANS was very hot before all the surgery/diets/breast implants. Geez, I think the breast enlargements made her look terrible.

Movies Stars like to party but look at wrestlers mess up their bodies more with steroids and party more the body can tolerate

These are the names that I can recall that have died since I really do do watched it anymore

1). Eddie Gurerro
2). Ravishing Rick Rude
3). Mr. Perfect Curt Henning
4). Road Warrior Hawk
5). Bam Bam Bigelow
6). British Bulldog
7). Crash Holly
8). Brain Pillman
9). Miss Elizabeth
10). Terry Bam Bam Gordy

and much more....all of the above where known to party all night long with some heavy doses of Steroids. Trust me the list goes to hundreds of wrestlers deaths because of drugs or heart attacks in their 30's or 40's.

RIP

Heres the story:

HOLLYWOOD, Fla. -
Anna Nicole Smith, the voluptuous former Playboy centerfold who married an octogenarian billionaire and waged a legal battle for his fortune all the way to the Supreme Court, died Thursday after collapsing at a hotel. She was 39.


The blond bombshell — who recently became tabloid fodder all over again after the sudden, apparently drug-related death of her 20-year-old son — was found unresponsive while staying at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel and Casino, said her attorney, Ron Rale. She was rushed to a hospital.

Edwina Johnson, chief investigator of the Broward County Medical Examiner's Office, said the cause of death is under investigation and an autopsy will be done on Friday.

The curvaceous 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, captivating readers with her Marilyn Monroe looks. 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, the head of oil-based Koch Industries, which is part of a family fortune worth at least $400 million. He died in 1995 at age 90, setting off a feud with her 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 in her battle with her former stepson.

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

More recently, Smith's ballooning figure and up-and-down weight became a subject of public fascination. But she lost a reported 69 pounds and became a spokeswoman for TrimSpa, a weight-loss supplement.

She starred in her own reality TV series, "The Anna Nicole Show," in 2002-04 and appeared in movies. She had 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."

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 number one 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.

Really was expected , sad though

[pags11]

very sad...

[onlòóker]

Sad to hear it. R.I.P.

[Zerlinco]

Although she received millions from her marriage, many still took and still wanted to take advantage of her. That's the sad part, not to speak about her daughter.

[Bill Dozer]

What happened to the half billion? So far, the husband, the husband's son, she and her son have all passed?

[ourbet]

...FWIW she is survived by her mother, a lady by the name of Virgie Arthur.

I thought it was in a trust fund of some sort. If thats the case I would assume it would go to her new born kid that she had a little while back.

Has anyone checked the last couple interviews that she gave? All my God...I cannot believe the TV networks aired this stuff. Go on Yahoo and you probably find some links to her final interviews.

What I saw really disturbed me. She looked totally spaced out into a different world with her words and reactions, kinda like she lost the sense of reality. She seemed to be slurring her words alot and trying to talk about some weird stuff. Eeerie stuff let me tell you.
