“The Life and Legacy of Anna Nicole Smith: Remembering the Tragic Loss and Honoring Her Celebrity Daughters”

In February, it was 16 years since the shocking news hit Hollywood: Anna Nicole Smith was found dead in Florida. The Playboy model and actress was only 39 years old.

Her road to glamorous wealth and celebrity status was both long and tough, but in return she became one of the most recognizable faces in celebrity town.

Smith, born Vickie Lynn Hogan, passed away as a result of an overdose of several different narcotics. It was determined that the death was an accident.

Her last months in life were marked by drama to say the least. Just five months before the model herself passed away, she both gave birth to a daughter and lost a son.

Lost mother and brother

In 1986, their son Daniel Wayne Smith was born. 20 years later, in September 2006, their daughter Dannielynn Birkhead was also born.

However, the family idyll was not to last long. Three days after little Dannielynn was born, Daniel passed away, as a result of an overdose.

The crushing news must have been too much for Anna Nicole, who in the following months was in great grief. At the same time, she had a newborn daughter to take care of.

In February of the following year, in 2007, Anna Nicole Smith also passed away.

– Biggest mistake I’ve made

Again sat five-month-old Dannielynn, without her mother and brother.

Appeared together

The model had several high-profile relationships throughout her life. One of these was with photographer Larry Birkhead, with whom she had her daughter Dannielynn.

Today, the celebrity daughter has turned 16.

Her life began with a very public spat between the supermodel’s then-boyfriend, Howard K. Stern, and her biological father, over custody.

In the end, it was Birkhead who turned out to be the father, and he was also the one who got custody.

He has spoken out about his daughter several times, most recently in May, when father and daughter appeared at the Barnstable Brown Kentucky Derby Eve Gala together. It was during the same gala that Birkhead met Smith for the first time – in 2003. This year, the 16-year-old appeared in his mother’s old outfit.

Arousing attention: – They rot

– She shows her interest in fashion, while also honoring her mother. It came from a Guess collection that sold out, but Dannielynn saved it for a special occasion. The outfit features in some of Anna’s best Guess campaigns, he added People that time.

Takes after mother

In another interview with People could he share that the daughter has acquired several of her mother’s good qualities. Among other things, she must be just as generous.

– But at the same time, she is really picky when it comes to food, just like her mother. OMG! She doesn’t eat meat at all. It has only happened once in her life. But she’s not too fond of vegetables either, he said, and continued:

Ends after sudden death

– It has been a struggle since she was little (…) She eats a lot of sauce on her pizza. Her mother was a big sauce person. She used to want extra, extra, extra everything. Just like Dannielynn.

The father could also say that the 16-year-old has big plans to study forensic medicine when she is old enough. However, he added:

– You know how children are. They may say this today, but tomorrow it will be something else.

Declined

These days the new Netflix documentary “Anna Nicole Smith: You Don’t Know Me” is airing.

– It will be quite painful

In this connection, a number of new details have emerged from the model’s life, also about both her son and daughter.

Earlier in May, Birkhead stated that neither he nor his daughter wanted to participate in the documentary.

– We declined to participate, as I did not want my daughter to be involved in an overwhelmingly bad sewer of a project about her mother, where some people were allowed to make things up and write about history, he said to Entertainment Tonight.

– I am looking forward to a truly definitive Anna Nicole project where her truth can be told from her own perspective and by those who really knew her best. Anna really deserved better and that day will come, he added in the statement.
