Anna Nicole Smith's dramatic life has come to a shocking end. Anna Nicole Smith, the small-town Texas girl turned Playboy Playmate who became a tabloid fixture while fighting all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court over the estate of her elderly billionaire husband, died in Florida on Thursday at the age of 39. Smith, who modeled Guess jeans, was named Playboy magazine's Playmate of the Year in 1993 and had film roles the following year in "The Hudsucker Proxy" and "Naked Gun 33 1/3: The Final Insult."
