The Unforgettable Anna Nicole Smith

Thank you, QV. I truly appreciate all your work and effort in all of this.

I was getting dressed for class when I heard Anna had “collapsed” and only a short time later that she was pronounced dead.

It was then that I took interest in this case. First her son, Daniel died and then her not long later. Howard K. Stern and all the drugs involved could not have been coincidental, in my view.

I am here and will continue to be here until the truth is revealed and justice is served. It may not be all as I want and I hope to be able to accept the outcome. I’m sure there are many others who feel similarly, if not more so.

Bless you Daniel and Anna, Virgie and Dannielynn.

I was taking my son for an interview at an exclusive school and then we got lunch and I got home from work early so we put the TV on. I was not a fan of hers. I was intrigued by the fact the baby was not Howards and that her son had died the same way 5 months earlier. I did not understand. I still do not? I was upset about the court circus and how Howard kept that baby and house. Still am? I was a huge Larry supporter at the time, wow what can change in a year. I just hope that the truth comes out,whatever that may be and Dannilynn lives a peaceful and healthy life away from the circle her mom had. I also wish and pray that Larry and Virigie come to terms to make sure the baby gets to see both sides of her family and they live happy ever after. I wish Howard would move along and get his own life.

I wasn’t much of an Anna fan, however I do admit that I thought she was very pretty and funny. I liked her. I only watched her show once, and found it uninspiring. It was sad for me when I heard that her son had died. I truly felt bad for her, respected her privacy, and hoped that she, as a mother (and a new mother) would persue the truth as to what happened to her beloved son.

Several months later, I heard that Anna had died. That news saddened me on many levels. She had recently given birth. She had recently lost a son. A whole new chapter on her life was supposed to begin, not end.

Last night I watch that brief interview with Debra Opri and it touched me. To take a moment and forget about Stern, Larry and Virgie and just think about Anna. She was beautiful. She was funny. She was entertaining. And now she lies in an unmarked grave in another country, far away from her fans. THAT, my friends, is the tragedy and for that I am deeply saddened.

For all that can be said about all of the parties involved, one thing haunts this media circus. Anna’s final resting place remains unmarked and no tribute is displayed for those whose lives she touched and it all started with the death of her beloved son, who was first placed in an unmarked grave in a foreign country and who she joined five months later.

It is my hope that someday soon Anna and her beloved son Daniel will come home and rest together in peace. It is my hope that her fans will be free to place tributes at her final resting place. It is my hope that her grave be marked appropriately, and that Daniel have his very own tribute and not be forgotten in the shadow of his mother. And finally it is my hope that somehow Dannielynn can know her mother and her brother and have that special place to feel their love, guidance and protection.

Rest in Peace Anna and Daniel.

I, like many, did not follow Anna and her story. I watched about 5 minutes of her show and thought it was very sad and at the same time stupid. I was at work when the news came on and after hearing the details I thought there is something NOT right with this story. The more the news reported the more my suspicions grew. I thought Judge Siedlin’s court was a joke and I was on Virgie’s side from the beginning.

Love you Virgie, stay strong!

Today, February 8, marks one year since the untimely death of ANNA NICOLE SMITH. In her memory, her longtime companion HOWARD K. STERN has worked to establish a new charitable foundation bearing her and her late son DANIEL’s name.
“Today is extremely difficult for those of us who were close to Anna Nicole,” Howard tells ET.
“In memory of Anna Nicole and her son Daniel, we have created the Anna Nicole and Daniel Wayne Smith Charitable Foundation. It will benefit charitable causes that Anna Nicole supported during her life: children, the elderly, and the treatment and cure of AIDS. Hopefully it will grow, help more people each year, and eventually be headed by her daughter Dannielynn.
“All donations through February, 2008 will benefit a charity in the Bahamas for underprivileged and at-risk youths that Anna Nicole wanted to help.”
To make a donation, please contact:

I believe I was home at the computer when I found out. It started for me with Daniel’s death………. then when she followed I KNEW there was no coincidence. I’ve read every book i could get my hands on, searched the internet, found out what i could. Unfortunately I didn’t find your site until 12/27/07. But now I am hooked. I am only on the side of justice, and truth, and I will be here until the end. I really value your site, after being repulsed by the likes of Fart Harris and his insulting name “bald truth”. I have to wonder though, if her mom was really that bad, why on earth would she ever let her raise her son for so many years?? What happened to Moe’s book??? Thank you QV for everyting.

My suggestion would be that for anyone wanting to contribute to the Bahamian children, do so directly or through someone in the Bahama’s. I would not give one dime to any “foundation” formed and headed by such questionable characters.

I don’t remember where I was or what I was doing when I heard that Anna had died. To be honest, it wasn’t all that important to me. But when I started reading and found that she died pretty much as Daniel had, with the same common denominator present, I had an “AH HA” moment that has only grown more strongly over these last twelve months.

Carole, What a beautiful and touching poem! Thank you.

Should I make my check out to Howard directly, and bypass the middle man?

Matilda, Maybe they/he would prefer a wire transfer over a check? Of course you could make a few of them in smaller amounts, just like Dr. E’s husband allegedly did.

Howard on LKL:

“Well, we are creating the foundation. And it’s probably, you know, when we find out what the cause of Daniel’s death was, it’s going to be used to further whatever that is.”

~~~~~~~~~

Nice job, Howard, in setting up the Anna Nicole Smith foundation and forgetting Daniel completely. All Anna’s alleged charitable causes are covered….but Daniel is left out in the cold, once again. I’m not surprised.

Howard will be most grateful, he’s sorely in need of a new pair of shoes.

I’ll not send a dime to any foundation that has Howard K Stern sitting as a director. I do and will continue to support AIDS research, but I’ll do it through trusted establishments. It took Howard nearly 18 months from the time he first spoke of a memorial foundation in Daniel’s name till it was in fact established. What took so long, and where is the money from the sale of the last pictures of Daniel living that was supposed to go into this foundation? What did you do with it Howard? And Ray, what in the world are you doing with the very man who possibly is responsible for both Anna and Daniel’s death? Why do all three of you list addresses in Florida…what a crock! Ray, do the right thing man; you know what that is. What is money against a man’s soul?

No Rose’s site wasn’t hacked. The server is currently down. It was ok up until about 2 hours ago but, I don’t want to take away from Anna today with having to defend or rebutt things about Rose or her site so……

I was at work and signed onto AOL and it just hit me in the face. First, Anna Nicole has collapsed. Then, Anna Nicole is dead. I figured it was drug related. I hoped that it wasn’t. I wished that she would have learned from Daniels death that mixing certain drugs together can be fatal. Sadly she didn’t. I pray for Dannielynn and that she is able to lead as normal life as possible with the legacy she has been left with.

I pray for everyone involved in this weather actaully, personally involved or just through a blog. I pray that anyone who feels hate, especially for someone they have never meet, who simply has a different opinion than themselves is able to let go of the hate and whatever it is that truly makes them lash out at others for having a different opinion.

Respectfully as always

Some pics of Anna and Daniel I have never seen before

QV,
Here are excerpts from Melissa Byrum’s new book “When You Wished Upon A Star “The Evolution of Anna Nicole Smith”
I thought since today is her one year death anniversary it was only fitting.
This woman knew Anna from before she was a star & has only good things to say about Virgie.
http://www.annaandmissy.com/

The book spans from 1987, the first day Vickie Lynn Smith walked into the adult entertainment business and spans 6 years to 1993, through her transition into Anna Nicole Smith.
All material herein is © Copyrighted material, reproduction of this material is strictly prohibited.
Chapters 1 through 9 covers 1987 to 1992, chapter 10 through 22 covers 1992 & 1993 after Anna had become a Playmate.
One day, in 1987 the door of the club opened and in walked a beautiful girl out of the sweltering Texas sun. She was tall, about 5’11, with long blonde “Darryl Hanna” hair, and it was obvious she was completely terrified.… Her eyes were darting around the club taking it all in, and her lack of “sophistication” was endearing. Vickie Lynn Smith had just walked into a world that she never knew existed.
God, this time in our lives was fun, though. We would shop, go to the movies and eat out all the time. We had a seriously expendable income, and it was all basically good clean fun, in the beginning
When we would go shopping, Nicki would buy tons of things for Daniel. She relished buying clothes and toys for him, while he was living at Virgie’s. For some strange reason, she would always buy gifts for a baby girl as well.
As Nicki and I grew closer, we began sharing our life stories with each other with the openness that is only found in a friendship forged in youth.
For me, just having someone to share these conversations with was special. I had never trusted anyone enough to reveal this level of vulnerability. Nicki always told me that I was the first real friend that she ever had. She loved that I would never sit in judgment of her and she knew that I would willingly do anything that I could to come to her rescue, which was often the case later on. And it was never grudgingly
As is always the case, good, clean fun only lasts so long. Our nighttime pursuits began to revolve around the clubs and bars that we could manage to get into.
More book excerpts:

All material herein is © Copyrighted material, reproduction of this material is strictly prohibited.

We went to meet Mr. Marshall the next day. I had no idea what to expect, but I assumed he was an older businessman with lots of money. When we pulled into the parking garage, I asked her which office was his. She laughed and said,“Honey, Howard owns the building.”

She went to her closet and opened a safe, which was at least eight cubic feet. Hordes of jewelry that Mr. Marshall had given her were piled inside.

. Immediately, Mr. Marshall set two boxes on the table. One of them held a gorgeous pair of sapphire and diamond earrings. The other held an equally breathtaking pair of amethyst and diamond earrings. He then handed Nicki a thick envelope and told her it was to pay for the gold bracelet she had ordered.

We were relatively quiet on the way to the restaurant, just making small talk. But as soon as she parked and turned the car off, we looked at each other and started squealing like schoolgirls. I was so happy for her! For years she had been dreaming of owning a place like this one, with plenty of land, horses and lots of different animals. It was part of the white picket fence dream, the one with her, Daniel, her perfect husband, and the baby girl that she’d always wished for.

Everyone always assumed that she emulated Marilyn Monroe, but this was not entirely the case. The media later married Anna Nicole to Marilyn, and she was not displeased with that.

These pictures have materialized everywhere lately, including in Nicki’s absent sister, Donna Hogan’s, book. She mistakenly identified me as Sandy Powledge, Nicki’s lesbian lover and she indicated that Anna and I were showing off real tattoos with Daniel, but they were fake tattoos, and were Daniel’s idea of fun.

We checked into the Bel Age Hotel in the Hollywood Hills, which is directly down the street from Playboy Studios. The bellman had no sooner been tipped and left than Nicki and I began jumping around and squealing in excitement. This is still one of my favorite memories. We were hugging and both had tears streaming down our faces. The trip from LAX to the Bel Age with Nicki’s face plastered everywhere cemented the fact that she had arrived. I was so happy for her.

“That blank – blank Eric Redding has been calling Guess Corporate all day. He’s telling them that he’s my manager!”… Mr. Marciano greeted us at the front door. He was just as gracious and accommodating as he had always been. He escorted us upstairs and showed Daniel and I to our rooms. It was almost dusk, so Daniel, Nicki and I started to put on our costumes….Dressing up was always one of Nicki’s favorite things to do, and soon she had forgotten all about Eric Redding. When the three of us walked downstairs, Mr. Marciano was extremely amused. Here were two grown women dressed as fairies and a little Batman. He snapped a few photographs.

As I watched the battle rage on in Florida about where to lay Anna to rest, I found it hard to contain myself at times .When Howard Stern testified, I was shocked to hear him speak like an expert on Nicki and Virgie’s relationship, knowing full well that he did not even know Nicki in the early years.

My heart bleeds for Virgie because not only has she lost her beloved Vickie and Daniel to the hands of the puppet master, but she has had to sit in a courtroom and endure being vilified by people who have no idea what went on during that time.

All of the above were Melissa’s words after the link.

I wonder who the Sue Boys will threaten w/ THIS book…

Howard is damned if he does, and damned if he does’nt. The word Vergie, will STILL put a bad taste in everyones mouth. She is a pathetic, exhuman being, that has done nothing but trash her daughter, since she was a child. and i hope and pray, she will get her due very soon, she and oquinn, and all of the other liars, that are in her wake.

posted at tmz:
17034. I seen Howard grab a spoon with a lighter….Explosive new allegations. Tony Potts interview. He is at the Hard Rock. What he says may shock you. “People going around acting all innocent and showing no responsibility” Who is one of those people: Howard. Maybe he gave her drugs to sedate her and maybe because he is a doctor he gave her too many maybe. Howard may have given her the incorrect coc**ktail, not purposefully or if he did he needs to say it. He say a bevy of prescription drugs and other drugs – smoked marijuana once in a while, ectasey pills – was it heroin? can’t tell you…something tht shouldn’t be done. He told me it was valium in a pill form that she doesn’t like swallowing. She swallowed a lot of pills. Howard gave vitamin b shots to Anna. Howard has denied everything except Marijuana. This will keep her calm =- I have to go to the bank to pull out some money. No response from Howard about Moe’s story per Tony Potts. Anna loved Howard and Moe wanted to honor her memory but now her soul won’t rest and he has to tell what he saw. More photoes and more MOe coming up Monday. Anna looked at Larry as a sperm donor to get a beautiful child = coming up Monday

No problem QV – I posted twice so once will do!

No prob QV.
You are very welcome.
I honestly think this Melissa girl was a genuine friend of Anna’s & just wants the real story about Anna, Daniel & Virgie put out for all to see.

I am so dishearted seeing Larry stoop to such levels w/ his lack of class & morals.
Seeing him pimping an innocent baby out for money is sickening.
Knowing he did not allow Dannielynn to have her dolls from her granny on her birthday is LOW!

Yes, I do believe that was Krista Barf (sic).
Sorry I couldn’t resist QV. :o)

At the end of Access Hollywood Nancy O’Dell said they had a call from Howard’s attorney & he said Howard said what Big Moe said was nothing but speculation.
Or something to that effect.

QV make sure the order was signed by the judge and NOT a proposed order – it couldn’t have happened this fast without a hearing. Re Rose’s quash motion. I think this is the same thing that happened before – the order is not signed probably. It is probably the attorneys proposed motion. Thanks

Thanks, QV.

Looking forward to ‘the rest of the story’ – Can hardly wait!

Someone posted the link to Mo on Access Hollywood (thanks to you know who you are :) )

http://video.accesshollywood.com/player/?id=215924

Thanks Moe, for telling the world that ANNA LOVED HOWARD! I never had any doubts that Anna loved Howard and it is easy to understand why she loved him.

What kind of substance is put in a spoon and melted with a lighter?

wow, I think my last post went to spam.

My one wish for all, that is posting on this site..against Howard…that you will never have to be in the position,of losing a child that you hold dear to your heart that you.. love with every fiber of your being..this is what Anna was feeling and with the love that Howard had for Anna and for Daniel..I can only imagine what this man was feeling in his heart that Anna was hurting so bad..and there was nothing he could do except just love her..

I’ve tried puting myself in his position ,with My Husband and Children…suddenly dying…the heartbreak would just be so horrible …

Like I said above I hope thzt none of us are ever put in that position..but just remember it could happen to any of us in any given moment…

Rest In Peace Anna and Daniel..
Prayers are with you Howard as you try to go on…

I will Pray for you Lucy….

Please do. I’m sure that GOD enjoys a good laugh as well as the rest of us.

Thanks Big Moe for telling the truth

HOLLYWOOD – Anna Nicole Smith’s former lovers Larry Birkhead and Howard K. Stern have filed a lawsuit against the authors of a controversial new book documenting the late glamour girl’s life.

Birkhead and Stern claim Pol’ Atteu and Patrik Simpson–the authors of Anna Nicole Smith: Portrait of an Icon–are solely trying to make money off stolen pictures of the former Playboy model and were never actually close to the tragic star.

Birkhead–father of Smith’s daughter Dannielynn–says, “The only thing I know about them is that they tried selling pictures of Anna without her permission, and were booted out of Anna’s life for approximately two years.”

He adds, “I am offended by the stupidity of these bozos who are trying to make a buck off a so-called friendship.

“They were not true friends of Anna; in fact, she was very skeptical of them. I remember many times being present when Anna would not take either of their calls.”

The book’s publisher Jody Gibson confirmed she has received legal documentation on behalf of Stern.

She says, “Howard K. Stern had his attorney send me a letter wanting to sue me. He said that (the authors) stole two ‘priceless’ pictures that are in the book. But they signed a contract verifying the authenticity of content. How do I know Howard owns what he’s claiming to own?”

She adds, “Larry Birkhead was a hanger-on who wanted to get in on the act and had a brief moment with Anna. And lo and behold, he is the biological father and holds the key to her future through her child.”

Guess they are both suing…big shock!!

Anne, I don’t think Moe’s pockets are deep enough for Mr. Wood or Mr. Stern to bother.

Remember, he didn’t sue Jackie Hatten because he didn’t think she had any money.
(see LKL transcripts)

Well, pooh!

What ever shall I do….clean house?…..wash clothes?……I KNOW!!! I’ll go shopping. Something to fill the time until “the rest of the story”!!!

Have a good day, QV.

Oh my, I do apologize on your credentials. I had no idea that you went from a Masters Degree yesterday to a Ph.D. this morning, it must have been one he** of a thesis. Surely it wasn’t on how to diagnose true love and abuse from “Paid Media Interviews” without ever meeting the patient.

This message is for Anne.

You say Howard loved Anna and Daniel, they were his “family”. You need to alert Howard his family is in CA,and his sister Bonnie is taking a lot of heat because of him. Where is the love? You must be totally invested in this to take on Anna’s name as your own. LOL. I always look forward to your renderings, your attempt to make Howie and Anna’s as the love story of the decade is so amusing.

*******************************

Now you listen to me. There are a LOT of people that have lost their children to drug over doses and I can guarantee you that the grieving do NOT Glorify the friggin drug dealer..Don’t you ever assume that people on thi sboard have not lost a child to drugs………..ok ‘m trying to calm down so I’ll say no more.

I’m always shocked to read where so many people are totally sympathetic to Howard when in truth, Howard made this situation so much worse than it ever needed to be. His love of Anna’s money, and his “fame”, in the form of gofer, was what kept him around administering the drugs that took her life. There was no other reason and most especially not “love” for anyone other than himself. I’m not even sure why anyone would suggest that Howard lost a child. Howard never fathered a child but tried to steal one. He should have been prepared for that “loss” since the baby was never his to lose. He should have been smart enough to know what a slippery slope he was on with that lie.

All the armchair psychiatric diagnosing in the world isn’t going to change facts, and the facts are right in plain view for anyone who cares to see them. Anna and Howard were both users. There was nothing healthy about that alliance. They could both have used some serious counseling but like so many people, they blamed everyone else for their problems and drove everyone else away. Eventually they had to move to a different country to try and pull a fast one on the baby’s daddy. And there they found a whole new group of “family” who, had Anna lived, would probably have all been kicked to the curb way before now. Once Anna got what she wanted or needed from people, they were of no more use to her and they were gone. So, in my opinion, there was no love on either side. There was a dependence on each other for their wants and needs. Anna wanted and needed someone with no morals to be her servant and she found that person in Howard, who needed someone to keep him up and let him follow them around and do their bidding, good or bad.

‘This’ sure ain’t no ‘Love Story.’

Larry Birkhead: “I am offended by the stupidity of these bozos who are trying to make a buck off a so-called friendship.”

ROFLMAO!!

Speaking of bozos, I wonder how much money Stern and Birkhead have made off of their friendship with Anna since her death. Gentlemen: (and I use the term loosely) Pot meet Kettle!! :)
