Smith (ne Vickie Lynn Hogan) found fame as a Guess model and Playboy's 1993 Playmate of the Year, also appearing onscreen in Naked Gun33: The Final Insult and shows like Veronica's Closet and Ally McBeal. She later starred in her own E! reality series The Anna Nicole Show, paving the way for the Kardashians and the Real Housewives franchise.

The Houston, Texas, native also became a tabloid favorite after marrying 89-year-old oil tycoon J. Howard Marshall II in 1994, after she met him while performing at a strip club. Smith suffered in later years with drug addiction, a battle for her late husband's estate, paternity lawsuits and the death of her first child, Daniel, in 2006. She later died of an accidental prescription drug overdose in a Hollywood, Florida, hotel room in February 2007.
