How did Anna Nicole Smith become famous?

No doubt about it, she’s famous, and she won’t go away. I vaguely remember that she was in Playboy, and that she married some old guy, but what’d she do before then?

Guess Jeans advert.

She wasn’t famous before Playboy. She was just another topless dancer, which is how she met Marshall.

And Playboy playmate, IIRC. She was middlin’ attractive once upon a time. As long as she kept her mouth shut. Then she married a really rich, old guy and got in a big fight over the estate when he kicked the bucket.

Because Of Overly-Buxom Size

I agree with E-Sabbath. I distinctly remember hearing her described as “the Guess? jeans girl.”

I still stand by my prediction she will be giving blowjobs for crack in alleys within 5 years and found dead in the trunk of a car within 10.

It’s always nice to wish people well.

:rolleyes:

Stripper > Playboy Playmate > Playboy Playmate of the Year (by popular vote I believe) > > Guess Jeans girl > Small role in Naked Gun 33 1/3 > obscurity > tabloid fodder for octogenarian millionaire > tabloid, Court TV fodder for lawsuit with other members of dead husbands family > trash TV fodder for desperate network execs.

Really nowhere for her to go. Maybe she’ll make a few more cameos in movies but really, she’s just about done.

That would have to be a pretty BIG CAR TRUNK, to find her dead in.

A couple of thoughts on ANS: She was touted for a while as “The Next Marilyn Monroe”. She even did a photo shoot in a white dress a la “Seven Year Itch.” This was before her complete lack of self-control became apparent.

But I think real fame is her infamy: how far she fell. People love this stuff. (Which is why E! loves her. Good ratings.)

I’ll give you two guesses…

As noted, she was in Guess? ads and Playboy (as well as some Victoria’s Secret catalogues, IIRC). ultrafilter, have you ever seen pictures of her 10 or 12 years ago? She was stunningly sexy. And at the time, she was a welcome change from the then exceedingly common “waif” type of model. (There are still plenty of them around today, but the field has become more diverse – it still of course has totally unrealistic notions of proper thinness, but now it is no longer surprising to see a ridculously thin woman with boobs in Vogue; back then, the ta-tas were a no-no.)

She was indeed a beautiful woman, it is scary what drugs can do to you…

I’m waiting for her to appear on Celebrity Boxing against Kate Moss. It would at least be a step up from her show on E!

I believe the entertainment industry technical term for her success would be “bodacious tata’s”. I think that’s latin for “swelling talents”.

Aside from that, she’s now simply famous for being famous.

They’re called boobs, Ed.

but of course, she had bigger boobs back then…just as fake, but bigger(is huger a word?)…and she wasn’t as fat…and no one had heard her open her big cake hole.
