About

Anna Nicole Smith was born Vickie Lynn Hogan on November 28, 1967 in Houston, Texas. She was the daughter of Donald Eugene and Virgie Mae Hogan, who were married and divorced twice. Anna had a difficult childhood due to poverty and her father’s alcoholism. She dropped out of high school at age 14 and worked as a waitress before entering into the adult entertainment industry.

Anna became a model for Playboy magazine in 1992 and was named Playmate of the Year in 1993. She achieved great fame as a glamour model and began appearing in television shows and films. In 1994, she married J. Howard Marshall II, an 89 year old oil tycoon who had previously been married twice before; their marriage lasted until his death in 1995.

In 2002, Anna starred in her own reality show “The Anna Nicole Show” which aired on E! for three seasons until 2004. After the show ended she continued to appear in films and television shows such as “Skyscraper” (1996) and “Naked Gun 33 1/3: The Final Insult” (1994).

In 2006 Anna gave birth to a daughter but tragically passed away due to an accidental prescription drug overdose just five months later on February 8th 2007. Her daughter would go on to win her legal battle to inherit her mother's estate after being initially disinherited by J. Howard Marshall II's family.
