Anna Nicole Smith

Vickie Lynn Marshall (née Hogan; November 28, 1967 – February 8, 2007), known professionally as Anna Nicole Smith, was an American model, actress and television personality. Smith started her modeling career as a Playboy magazine centerfold in May 1992 and won the title of 1993 Playmate of the Year. She later modeled for clothing companies, including Guess, H&M and Heatherette. Smith gained further notoriety in 1994, after her highly publicized marriage to 89-year-old billionaire J.

Howard Marshall resulted in speculation that she was a gold digger, which she denied. Following Marshall's death in 1995, Smith began a lengthy legal battle over a share of his estate, which reached the Supreme Court of the United States. In the early 2000s, Smith was the spokeswoman for the dietary supplement brand TrimSpa, appeared in film, and starred in her own reality program on E!, The Anna Nicole Show (2002–2004).
