Who is Anna Nicole Smith?
Born in Texas in 1967, Anna Nicole Smith was an American model, actress, and television personality. She reached stardom as a model for Playboy magazine in the 1990s, and went on to star in her own reality show, "The Anna Nicole Show". Throughout her career, Anna Nicole also appeared in several films and TV shows, including 'The Hudsucker Proxy' and 'To the Limit'. Her personal life was surrounded by a number of scandals and controversies, including her marriage to billionaire J Howard Marshall and her battle for his estate after his passing.
Sadly, Anna Nicole passed away in 2007 at the age of 39 from an accidental overdose of prescription drugs followed by her son, Daniel Wayne's death five months prior.
What happened to Anna Nicole Smith?
Anna Nicole Smith suffered greatly because of her alcohol and drug addiction, her son’s death at the age of 20, and also legal battles, and the dark side of fame and wealth. In 1994, she married J. Howard Marshall, an 89-year-old man, while Smith was only 26. The paparazzi accused her of marrying for money, as he would probably die soon. After Marshall’s death, it was revealed that Smith was not included in his will, and she fought with his son for years to claim her late husband’s estate.
While dealing with this issue, her personal life remained under media attention, especially after she started using various medications for migraines, back pain, stomach problems, and seizures. Eventually, she gained weight, and the media attacked her even more for 'letting herself go'. Moreover, she was in pain after her son’s unexpected death due to a drug overdose just three days after she gave birth to her daughter.
‘Tragic end to turbulent life’
In 2007, Anna was traveling to Florida with a group of friends. However, she got ill. She started having back pain after getting injections of vitamin B12 and a human growth hormone. When she arrived in Florida, her fever went up to 105 degrees.
Over the course of the following few days, Anna suffered multiple health issues and refused to visit the hospital. She self-medicated, taking at least nine different prescription drugs. Her action led to her death on February 8th, 2007, after her friends found her unconscious. Anna Nicole Smith is one of the personalities who suffered greatly, dealt with troubled life circumstances and died too young.
