Anna Nicole Smith came into this world on November 28, 1967 in Houston, Texas. The true name she was called at birth was Vickie Lynn Hogan. She was the only child born to the couple Donald Eugene Hogan (born July 12, 1947) and Virgie Mae Tabers (born July 12, 1951) it seemed strange that both parents were born on the same day but different years. Her parents were married on February 22, 1967. Anna does have half siblings from her parents other marriages.

Her father left his child and hid wife and divorced her on November 4, 1969. Anna was raised by her mother and her Aunt Elaine Tabers. Then in 1971 her mother remarried to Donald Hart. And then proceed to divorce him and had to gotten remarried to four different men up to this day.

So let's just say this woman named Anna Nicole Smith was a roller-coaster ride. Of back and forth. She lived with her mother then lived with her aunt. She didn't seem to have a stable home or role model to learn from. So Anna was in search for a better life than what she grew up in.

Anna dropped out in her sophomore year never getting her grade eight education. She worked as a waitress and this is where she met Billy Wayne Smith.
They were married April 4,1985. She was only 17 and he was 16, a year later she gave birth to their son Daniel Wayne Smith. Then in 1987 Billy and Anna separated.

Then she and Daniel moved to Houston and found work as a waitress and a stripper.

Anna entered in pictures in a search contest and she was chosen by Hugh Hefner to appear on the of cover of 1992 March issue of Playboy not totally nude. She became one of Playboys most popular models. She then posed again nude this time for the May 1992 Centerfold under the name of Vickie Smith. But in 1993 she became Playmate of the year she finally settled for the name of Anna Nicole Smith.



While performing at a Houston strip club named Gigi's October 1991 Anna met an J. Howard Marshall the elderly oil Billionaire she married later.

Anna divorced her Billy on February 3, 1993. and on June 27, 1994 married J. Howard Marshall who was 89 at the time. Then August 4, 1995 Marshall died.

J. Howard Marshall's son E. Pierce battle with Anna over his father's money. This has gone on for close to 12 years. The battle is still going on even as we speak.

In the mean time she had done some films, had her own reality show and promoted the product named trimspa for weightless. Anna claims she lost 80 pounds on the product.

She is also know for being either drugged or drunk at award shows
