Anna Nicole Smith was born Vicki Lynn Hogan November 28, 1967, in Mexia, Texas. After her father abandoned her and her mother when she was a child, she was raised by her mother and aunt, commuting back and forth to each caretaker. At the age of 17, Anna (then Vicki) married Billy Smith, and that same year, they welcomed their son Daniel into the world. Time with Billy was short-lived, as young Anna, now a mother, headed to Houston to turn over a new leaf.

A marriage to an 89-year-old billionaire, gracing the cover of Play..boy, chosen as 1993's Play.Mate of the Year, posing as a Guess? model, and starring in her own reality TV series all made Anna famous, or should we say infamous?

When Anna Nicole Smith first appeared on the scene, she was hot. Posing for the bunny mag and Guess?, she had men everywhere begging for more. Unfortunately, a marriage to a very senior citizen, a bitter court battle, some significant weight gain, and proof that she isn't the brightest woman to grace the E! channel have scared us somewhat. But it looks like she has her act together once again, and we're happy about that.

Anna Nicole Smith. What can we say that hasn't been said? Rarely has a woman had so many readily available adjectives to describe her. Gold digger, bodacious, vixen, plaything, conniving, innocent, moron, misguided, beautiful, and unstable are just some of the many things she has been called.
