Members KMan101 Posted February 8, 2007 Members Share Posted February 8, 2007 I think she was a very loving mother, IMO. Her world was crushed after Daniel died. Even with a daughter, she was never the same. This is awful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Brandeis Posted February 8, 2007 Members Share Posted February 8, 2007 I saw The View too. She made fun of her a little but then acknowledged what a hard time she's had. Everyone is looking askance at that lawyer. I just got an email from my 12 year old cousin and it was the first thing he thought too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members juniorz1 Posted February 8, 2007 Members Share Posted February 8, 2007 Unbelievable. She's such a tragic figure- much like Marilyn Monroe, in the tragic sense of course. Anna Nicole was never Marilyn but there are tons of similarities between the two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members KMan101 Posted February 8, 2007 Members Share Posted February 8, 2007 If he did kill her, that's just so deplorable. Really disgusting. But we cant be for sure until the autopsy results tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members mateo22 Posted February 8, 2007 Members Share Posted February 8, 2007 ITA~ Smith, who obviously idolized Monroe, lived quite a similar life and now it looks as if they will have shared one final thing, their death. A tragic end, to a tragic story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Q Steph Posted February 8, 2007 Author Members Share Posted February 8, 2007 This is strange, but I have tears in my eyes. IMy heart goeso ut to her daughter. Anna was on a downward spiral, but I do not believe she killed herself. She did look glazed over on ET, but this is heartbreaking. She truly was a tragic figure. I pray she is at peace. I don't care for Larry Birkhead or Howard Stern. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Tishy Posted February 8, 2007 Members Share Posted February 8, 2007 My heart goes out to her daughter and her family. I wonder who will be taking care of Dannielynn? I heard this on the radio and thought it was a joke. I am so sad to find out it wasn't. I would really like to know where Howard is and where the baby is. Howard could really benefit from her death. It was coincidental that he was in the hospital room where Daniel died, now 5 months later Anna has passed? I am waaayyy suspicious. If Dannielynn is the primary beneficary of Anna Nicole and Howard is the father, Howard stands to gain a lot of money if the Supreme Court case is settled in her favor. I am waayyy suspicious Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Q Steph Posted February 8, 2007 Author Members Share Posted February 8, 2007 Divorced as a teen, widowed at 27, and now dead at 39, Anna Nicole – or Nikki, as people in her hometown of Mexia, Texas, first called her – lived a life worthy of a soap opera. When she was only 17, she married 16-year-old Billy Smith, who worked with her at Jim's Krispy Fried Chicken. The short-lived marriage produced a son, Daniel, who, after his parents' divorce, was left by Anna Nicole with her mother, Virgie Hart, while she scraped together a living as a single mother. Fiercely driven, Anna Nicole in 1991 sent nude photos of herself to Playboy, which featured her as 1992's Miss May. That led to a Guess jeans contract and a ticket out of Mexia. Also in 1991, she met billionaire oilman J. Howard Marshall II at a Houston men's club where she was working as a stripper. They wed in 1994. She was 26; he 89. When Marshall died 13 months later, Smith found herself locked in a vicious battle with his son, E. Pierce, over a $1.6 billion estate. E. Pierce died in June 2006, but the fight continued after a May 2006 decision in which the U.S. Supreme Court allowed Smith to pursue her suit in Federal Court. More on this story Get the latest news updates on the death of Anna Nicole Smith While her behavior – on her eponymous E! reality show and in her appearances as a spokesmodel for TrimSpa – was often labeled outlandish, no one ever doubted that she was a loving mother to Daniel. The holidays were particularly important to her. "I don't have any good memories from Christmas when I was a girl," Smith told PEOPLE in 2004. "So I tried to make them special for Daniel. We never missed a trip to the mall to see Santa to take pictures." But on Sept. 10 of last year, the unthinkable happened. Daniel, then 20, died suddenly in a Bahamas hospital room, three days after his mother had given birth there to a to 6-lb. 9-oz. daughter. The death sent a shattered Smith into seclusion, despite her joy at the birth of her new child, Dannielynn Hope. "She's overwhelmed," her Bahamian attorney, Michael Scott, told PEOPLE shortly after the tragedy. "She's trying to come to grips with the depths of her despair." Dr. Cyril Wecht, a private coroner hired by the Smith family, told PEOPLE that Daniel's death was the result of a lethal combination of medications including methadone, Zoloft and Lexapro. The death will be investigated by a Bahamian court in an inquest due to begin March 26, Chief Magistrate Roger Gomez tells PEOPLE. But after Daniel's passing, Smith's story only got more complicated. On Sept. 26, Smith's U.S. attorney and confidant, Howard K. Stern, 38, announced on Larry King Live that he was Dannielynn's father – despite a paternity claim by Los Angeles photographer Larry Birkhead, 34. Then, on Sept. 28, Smith and Stern held a commitment ceremony on a catamaran off the coast of the Bahamas' Paradise Island. By late October, Smith was ready to talk about Daniel, telling TV's Entertainment Tonight, "I don't understand why God took him and didn't take me." She also said of daughter Dannielynn, "She looks like Daniel." But life showed no signs of calming down. This week, Smith and TrimSpa were sued in a class-action lawsuit alleging their marketing of a weight-loss pill was false or misleading, and on Wednesday a judge ordered that Smith and Dannielynn submit to a DNA test to determine the infant's paternity. But even before this week's developments, the drama had clearly taken its toll. Entertainment Tonight correspondent Mark Steines, writing on the show's Web site, said that when he interviewed her in October, she seemed different than she had when he'd met her in the past. "She seemed calmer, sadder," he wrote. "A bit broken, yet she looked quite beautiful." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
