Don’t worry—I’m not going to make light of Anna Nicole Smith’s death because eventually we’ll find out through some twist that it was her twin sister who died and not Anna Nicole. I mean, that’s how it always happens in soap operas and let’s face it, Anna Nicole’s life is being scripted by some of the most talented soap writers in the world—how else can you explain her life story?
Her character starts out as a waitress at a dump called Jim’s Krispy Fried Chicken where, at 18 years old, she meets and marries a 16-year-old fry cook (what a catch!) She then gives birth to a boy, Daniel.
Two years later, she divorces the fry cook and becomes a topless dancer when one night she meets an 89-year-old oil tycoon. Sparks immediately started to fly. Was it true love? Was it the friction caused by giving a lap dance to man in a wheel chair? In any event, they marry and the old coot encourages Anna Nicole to pursue a career in modeling by bankrolling her pursuit of fame.
Anna Nicole then gets discovered by Playboy and becomes Playmate of the Year. Then she’s discovered by Guess jeans and becomes their lead model. Then, like most men in their 90’s do, he croaks thus beginning a new story arc for our heroine—the fight for the old man’s money!
Anna wins the money but the old guy’s son appeals all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court (must be sweeps.) In the meantime, the old guy’s son dies too.
Now, it gets good. Anna is pregnant, but who’s the daddy? She gives birth to a girl in the Bahamas with her creepy lawyer/lover in the room and her son, Daniel, near by. Three days later, Daniel mysteriously dies in the same hospital room that his baby half sister was born in. Was it an overdose? Was it murder? Did he find out that the creepy lawyer/lover was not the baby’s father?
A sleazy photographer who dated Anna Nicole claimed that the baby was his. The creepy lawyer/lover claimed that the baby was his. Anna Nicole refused to submit the baby for DNA testing. Perhaps she was afraid it wasn’t either of there’s or perhaps she was holding out for an invitation from Maury Povich to appear on his show.
Either way, we may never know, because yesterday, Anna Nicole was discovered dead in a hotel room in Florida. Was it an overdose? Was it murder? Was it suicide? Was it really Anna’s long lost twin sister? Stay tuned. . .
