A famous model and actress tragically died from an overdose, leaving behind her five-month-old daughter. Now, 18 years later, that little girl is stunning fans with her striking resemblance to her mother, calling her “beautiful.”
This female celebrity lived a life filled with controversy — rising from a humble start to becoming a Playboy model and marrying a man over six decades her senior. She welcomed a daughter and tragically lost her son before her own life ended abruptly.
Since then, her little girl has lived mostly out of the spotlight, raised by her father with a sense of normalcy. But as she recently celebrated a major milestone, social media users marveled at her beauty, many struck by how much she resembles her iconic mother, Anna Nicole Smith.
The Rise and Fall of Anna Nicole Smith
Born Vicki Lynn Hogan, Anna was raised in poverty in Mexia, Texas. She dropped out of high school at 15 and took a job at a local chicken restaurant.
In 2017, Larry Birkhead, who dated the late actress, opened up about their romantic but tumultuous relationship and revealed that when Anna talked about her childhood, they “were not the happiest of stories.” “[She was] poor, abused,” he said.
