"I’ve always wanted to be like Marilyn, but I know I could never ever be compared to her. But I’m sure gonna try. I just want to make people smile and be happy. I just want people to love me before I die" - Anna Nicole Smith
Vickie Lynn Marshall (November 28, 1967 ♥♥ February 8, 2007), better known under the stage name of Anna Nicole Smith, was an American model, sex symbol, actress and television personality. She first gained popularity in Playboy, becoming the 1993 Playmate of the Year. She modeled for clothing companies, including Guess jeans and starred in her own reality TV show, The Anna Nicole Show. Born and raised in Texas, Smith dropped out of high school and was married at the age of 17. Her highly publicized second marriage to oil business executive and billionaire J. Howard Marshall, 63 years her senior, resulted in speculation that she married the octogenarian for his money, which she denied. Following his death, she began a lengthy legal battle over a share of his estate; her case, Marshall v. Marshall, reached the U.S. Supreme Court on a question of federal jurisdiction. In the months before her death, she was the focus of renewed press coverage surrounding the death of her son, Daniel Smith, and the paternity and custody battle over her daughter Dannielynn.

Success is failure turned inside out The silver tint of the clouds of doubt And you never can tell how close you are, It may be near when it seems so far; So stick to the fight when your hardest hit, It's when things seem worst that you mustn't quit!..Love & Hugs~Richard
Shadows where none should be glimpse of shades when I wake outlier of my dreams beg for the attention shown unlikely refugee from the dawn of where I began disturb the rest that was my peace now in the dusk of life’s twilight cast by lights only I can see if only I had lived those years from a distance too far to breach echoes of a life that passed me by in this place I could not conceive beauty glimpsed that stops my breath filled with cravings I cannot please from the depths of ancient hunger if only I did not travel so deep longing for the way to catch plunged ahead to find what I seek never finding the golden prize surrounded by a forest of trees on the pedestal in far glade paths that lure away from safety across the void of doom’s presence this traveler will soon perceive the futility of the attempt longing for the calm of far valleys where the shadows are no more to find again the stuff of dreams..Love & Hugs~Richard
