"Anna Nicole Smith: she was famous for being famous. She was Americana at its scarlet letter wearing best -- a bodacious young girl from Texas who remade herself into the centerfold of the world. --She was a Playboy-star, a stripper, a "gold-digger," a "dumb blonde" who nevertheless found herself before the Supreme Court of the United States.- Easy to dismiss, she was nevertheless, a complex character -- helpless yet brazen, beautiful yet ugly, outwardly confident yet inwardly frightened. And her tragic life and death evoke an odd mix of fascination and disgust, yet a desperate thirst in millions to discover more and more about who she was and what motivated her."
