Anna Nicole Smith: You Don't Know Me

You carry on a relationship with a 90 year old billionaire and family fights you getting a dime after he passes. After court battles it's declared you will receive nothing. You milked him for millions before he died but that was not enough. You get hooked on drugs and your Son follows in your footsteps. He overdosed and died. You continue to abuse pain pills and learn nothing. You lie about your family because it makes more money. It makes you look extra trashy. You use a man to get you pregnant but then try to cut him out of daughters life. It did not work. And then you overdose. Reality bites.

The tall, busty Texas GUESS girl was the "IT GIRL". The sweet girl next door all of us in the south wanted to be. The higher the hair, the closer to god. Outspoken. Going for what she wanted. Frank about sex. Beautiful. Escaping a small town and family problems. In the 90s she was everywhere, so I guess if you didn't experience those years yourself and didn't see the effect she had back then, you're probably one of the negative reviewers. She's no different than any of the modern Instagrammers, TikTok and YouTube wannabes. She was digging for gold long before any of the Kardashians. If she were around today like she was back then, she'd be a sensation! She tried to play the system and lost. The saddest part of it all is her kids got lost, too.

I'd only heard of ANS through jokes about her looks, her lack of talent and seeing images of a heavily made up woman with a mass of peroxide hair and full figure. This film was interesting as I like documentaries/ biographies, but I did not like the person portrayed here. It seems from an early age all she wanted was fame and money and planned to do anything to get it - some surgery and even befriending and marrying a very elderly man, and telling the most awful lies about her childhood. Her mum says, ANS told her "no one wants to hear good/happy stories, so making up bad ones doesn't harm anyone plus it makes ME money". Not a thought for her mum or family. ANS was pretty as a teenage, but the hair and makeup barely hid a a very masculine face and square-ish jawline. She was not a natural beauty. It seems peroxide, eyeliner and glossy lipstick can make you famous - plus some 'glamour' photos. The scenes showing the supermodels of the time clearly defined beautiful classy women and those like ANS, who need accessories to look glamourous. The supermodels are in a totally different class. There are some other strange people in this film Grabowksi and someone called Ashley who claims to have saved ANS's life. They were extremely difficult to watch. Anyway, I felt very, very sorry for Daniel ANS's son. A scene at Christmas, with the elderly man in a wheelchair barely breathing. ANS holds a huge framed print of herself in some odd scanty Father Christmas outfit and Daniel says 'what is that mummy?'. Honestly the woman had no dignity. What that poor boy must have endured. Also interesting was the scene with her on the telephone stating some film roles were in the offering (what is wrong with the world!) Imagine her in The Mask? Something is very wrong when a person like this can become famous for nothing really, just an image and putting herself out there in the media. To be famous for being famous is a non-life.

Really disappointed. This was basically a trash and burn "documentary" full of lies and misinformation....to try to make those most guilty of enabling and using Anna Nicole Smith look innocent and trashing the people who truly loved her like Larry Birkhead.. It left me angry and upset. Howard K Stern (lieing scumbag lawyer), MoMo the bodyguard (yeah he sure didnt do his job) Misty(so called friend), Hugh Hefner (the pervert lecherous head of Playboy who raped her and passed her around to his buddies), Marilyn Grabowski (the Playboy west coast editor who KNEW Hefner and his buddies raped those women at Playboy ...and said nothing abt that)....and esp that no talent, user designer Bobby Trendy were the worst. Even her mom Vergie Mae Hogan and J Howard Marshall who is dead now was trashed too. They cant even defend themselves against their accusations. The only one who tried to help Anna Nicole and truly loved her was Larry Birkhead whom she was involved with and had a child with... but they esp tried to portray him as a fame hungry user of Anna Nicole Smith. Thats rich coming from all of them...They were the users not him. I felt sorry for him not them. Not one of those closest to her took any responsibility for their actions that contributed to her downfall or death. When she needed them most they all let her down and she died. Did they own that? No. NONE OF THEM owned it. That documentary was so full of inaccuracies it was laughable...It tried to portray them as her closest real friends but clearly they were guilty of being liars, users, and drug pushers... not friends The only one who truly loved and cared abt her besides J Howard Marshall was Larry Birkhead who tried to help her and stop all the users around her from harming her, giving her drugs and using her so they hated him. He wld have stopped their little sordid gravy train w her and wld have prevented them from being around her. They didnt want that. This whole documentary is from their perspective. It was to now trash Birkhead and make them look better. Sad. Thank God Dannielynn Birkhead is with her REAL father Larry Birkhead who has done a great job of raising her..That whole custody battle was abt money and gaining control of that innocent child,. Howard K Stern and Vergie Mae Hogan wld not have been good for her had they won. Thank God Larry Birkhead won that custody case. Bobby Trendy was completely wrong when he said Anna hated Larry. That was a LIE. I hope Anna and Larrys daughter never sees this hit piece so called documentary abt her mother and father. Bc its full of lies.
