Anna-Nicole Smith is a popular American model, actress who won the title of "the second Marilyn Monroe". How does a girl look like a famous actress? It turned out, not only appearance, but also a mysterious death. What did Anna Nicole Smith die of?

Life path of the model

The real name of the star is Vicki Lini Hogan. The childhood of the young beauty passed in poverty and destitution. Mom worked in the police, father was a simple worker. A few months after the birth of his daughter, dad left the family, leaving the mother and child alone. To feed her child, the mother gave her daughter to her aunt. Vicki liked her aunt, she even called her her second mother.

Young Vicki dreamed of achieving fame, becoming like Marilyn Monroe and shining on television. But her appearance did not meet the required parameters: a puffy brown-haired woman without a hint of breasts. But with prominent hips. However, already at 17 she managed to marry a guy a year younger. When the girl gave birth to her son Daniel, the guy was afraid of responsibility, and with the words "You're not even Marilyn, but cheap!" abandoned both.

This gave a strong impetus to Wiki to change. First of all, she changed her name to a more amiable one - Anna-Nicole. She lost weight and became a spectacular blonde. There is only one thing left to achieve your ideal - to make breasts.

To earn money for an expensive dream operation, Anna went to work in a strip club. There she was spotted by 86-year-old major oil tycoon James Howard Marshall II. The billionaire took custody of the young beauty. He was a lover of large breasts, so he paid for the desired operation for the girl. Over time, they legalized the relationship, and after another 14 months, James died.

As it turned out, his wife was not on the list of heirs. But the beauty stated that her husband promised to give her half of the property. The lawsuits would have lasted much longer if not for the sudden death of the stepson of a millionaire. So, the property passed to Anna. But only a small part.

Career and fame of the young beauty

During a relationship with a billionaire, Anna-Nicole got on the cover of Playboy magazine. In 1993, she was recognized as the sexiest woman of the year. The girl's career grew uphill. She was invited to many photo shoots.

In the mid-90s, Anna began to fulfill another dream - she became a film actress. To say so, however, would be too loud. The model starred in the film "The Naked Gun 33 and 1/3". She also created her own show, flashed in episodes of television series.

1998 was the release of a motion picture, completely produced by Anna herself, called "The Secrets of Anna Nicole Smith." In it, the girl revealed the whole naked truth about herself.

Soon, Anna began a black streak in her life ... Lawsuits were resumed regarding her husband's inheritance. Because of the continuous nerves, one of the breast implants simply burst. The girl had to urgently undergo surgery.

Illness, nervous shock and death of Anna

After the operation, Anna began to take a bunch of painkillers. Over time, this turned into an addiction, and the girl could not refuse them. Anna ate stress and gained weight. Career rapidly fell down. At first, the girl participated in photo shoots marked "oversize", but over time, even such brands refused her. In order to somehow come to terms with reality, the former model began to use drugs.

A new attempt to return to show business was the resumption of the Anna Nicole Show program in 2002. In reality, the model showed all the hardships of a lawsuit over her husband's inheritance (which never ended). She also complained about the state of her health. It looked more pathetic and miserable than outrageous and interesting.

At one point, Anna-Nicole's life took a turn. At one of the parties in 2004, the model met photographer Larry Birkhead. They started a relationship. They were not simple and calm. The couple then diverged, then resumed relations. In 2006, when they separated, Anna gave birth to a little daughter, Dannylin. But the model was not going to be a single mom: she was already in a relationship with lawyer Howard Stern. They lived in the Bahamas. Howard and helped Anna return the inheritance of her 86-year-old ex-husband.

Between the two men - Larry and Howard there was a disagreement about whose daughter it was. But no one took the test.

Her 20-year-old son Daniel came to the islands to congratulate his mother on the birth of her daughter. But he suddenly died right next to his mother. Doctors after examination found drugs and antidepressants of two types in the guy's blood. The mother swore and swore that her son did not use anything.

This shocked Anna even more. She began to heavily take drugs and antidepressants.

Shortly after the tragedy, Anna and Howard held an informal wedding ceremony. But their union did not last long.

On February 8, 20017, Howard went to solve cases, and Anna stayed at home due to poor health. But within a couple of hours after leaving, Howard was informed that his wife was dead. Attempts to help survive were unsuccessful.

Cause of Anna's death there was more than one: an overdose (blood tests revealed the substances of nine different drugs), an advanced form of pneumonia. Also, recent childbirth and surgeries (liposuction and breast plastic surgery) contributed to the weakening of the body. Although they were carried out more than once in a lifetime, the latter had a particularly strong effect on health.

For three weeks, the relatives could not agree on where to bury Anna's body. And they decided to leave in the Bahamas next to Daniel.

Howard Stern was suspected of Anna's death, as they found his name on the recipes intended for his wife. But the lawyer managed to prove innocence.
