Anna Nicole Smith, Dies aged 39

[Dawn]

HOLLYWOOD, Fla. - Anna Nicole Smith, the voluptuous former Playboy centerfold who married an octogenarian billionaire and waged a legal battle for his fortune all the way to the Supreme Court, died Tuesday after collapsing at a hotel. She was 39.

The blond bombshell — who recently became tabloid fodder all over again after the sudden, apparently drug-related death of her 20-year-old son — was found was unresponsive while staying at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel and Casino, said the attorney, Ron Rale. She was rushed to a hospital.

The cause of death was not immediately disclosed.

The curvaceous Texas-born Smith was a topless dancer at strip club before she made the cover of Playboy magazine in 1992, captivating readers with her Marilyn Monroe looks. She became Playboy's playmate of the year in 1993.

She was also signed to a contract with Guess jeans, appearing in TV commercials, billboards and magazine ads.

I heard about this yesterday and cant believe it!

I disliked her but still the fact she died is tragic.
So do we know why she collapsed? Was it an overdose or something?

I think it's sad.

She lost her only son (whom she publicly showed -the- most love and affection for)

Then they accused HER for his death

She just had a baby girl, and now she died.

I think that the woman had enough scandals and speculation, enough is enough already and I hope she found some sort of peace. Ever since ever, she has been under scrutiny.

Poor, poor Anna Nicole.

I heard about it on the radio while I was taking a shower, like an hour after she died. I thought it was a hoax at first since she was so infamous.

It's weird, because I used to watch The Anna Nicole Show when it was on, and I'd see her talk and do things, and now she's just dead.

R.I.P. Anna Nicole Smith!

I'm glad that she will at least be buried next to her son.
