Anna Nicole Smith
 Vickie Lynn Hogan aka Anna Nicole Smith November 28, 1967 – February 8, 2007 |
This opened up the modeling opportunities culminating with the television and acting she enjoyed prior to that steep decline she suffered as the result of multiple prescription drug dependencies.
She had a son who she lost too soon. Thus began that downward spiral which ended with her being discovered on a hotel floor in Hollywood, Florida by familiars she kept close.
Her contemporary paramour one Howard K Stern who can only be described as the would-be father of her daughter only to be ruled out by DNA testing during paternity suit proceedings a good while after her own death.
Suffice it to say that her childhood was very rough edged and that remainder of her life carried with it a variety of stressors which included a late husband old enough to be her great grandfather and the paparazzi who certainly couldn't have helped.
When I look back on that to which she aspired and that which she attained all I can say is her daughter wound up in the correct place with the right parent.
It is lucky for the poor child that justice prevailed in the presence of those with ulterior motives contrary to her best interests. The sum total of the life of Vickie Lynn Hogan may be described as totally tragic in the best classic Shakespearean traditions to be the modern day mess that it was.
