Biography : Anna Nicole Smith (born Vickie Lynn Hogan on November 28, 1967) is an American actress and Supermodel who first gained popularity as Playboy magazine’s 1993 Playmate of the Year. Her career and public image subsequently suffered as her weight gain and antics were reported in supermarket tabloids and in her short-lived reality television show. More recently, Smith slimmed down and became the spokesperson for the weight loss product Trimspa.

Career: Smith’s career took off after appearing on the cover of the March 1992 issue Playboy magazine wearing a low-cut evening gown. She secured a contract to replace supermodel Claudia Schiffer in the Guess? jeans ad campaign in a series of sultry black and white photographs. Guess? capitalized on Anna Nicole’s strong resemblance to sex symbol Jayne Mansfield and even put her in Jayne inspired photo sessions. Smith then posed nude for Playboy as the May 1992 centerfold (under the pseudonym Vickie Smith). Smith was subsequently called “the next Marilyn Monroe” in press reports, a comparison she encouraged by wearing a hair style reminiscent of Monroe’s, as well as her trademark white dress. Smith was chosen to be the 1993 Playmate of the Year. She finally settled on the name Anna Nicole Smith by the time of her PMOY pictorial. Smith once did a nude Playboy lay out in Jayne Mansfield’s famous “Pink Palace” mansion.[wikipedia]
