She had an impressive track record with Playboy that included the 1992 cover and being awarded Playmate of the Year in 1993.

She was also a very successful model who had contracts with Guess Jeans and H&M.

She’s also appeared in the comedy Naked Gun 33 & A Third as well as her own television show on E!, The Anna Nicole Show.

When she died, she left behind her daughter Dannielynn who she had with photographer Larry Birkhead, 50.

LIFE WITH LARRY

Rarely, Dannielynn or Larry will make an appearance on social media when it’s a special occasion.

Most recently, Larry posted about his daughter’s 16th birthday in September.

To commemorate the occasion, he created an Instagram post that encapsulated his love for his daughter.

Part of his message said: “Through tragedy, turmoil, and a couple of baby tantrums-today you shine bright and are so accomplished. So proud to be your Dad!”

He also included a photo of Anna Nicole holding Dannielynn and wrote: “Rock on, Mom is looking down!”

Other than the occasional social media post, Larry and Dannielynn live a very normal life.

She was in a Guess Jeans campaign, like her mother, when she was six years old, but that was the end of her modeling career.

According to a 20/20 interview with Larry from 2017, his daughter is not interested in modeling like her mother.

She wants to play with her lizard, eat french fries, and be a normal kid.

OFF TO THE RACES

There is one other day of the year that the father-daughter duo comes into the spotlight – The Kentucky Derby.

They attend the Barnstable Brown Kentucky Derby Gala in Louisville, Kentucky every year.

That party also happens to be where Larry met Anna Nicole for the first time.

The pair dresses up for the occasion, and the memory of Anna Nicole is always with them.

At the 2022 gala, Larry thought that Dannielynn looked like Anna Nicole’s “twin” in the photos from the event that he posted on Instagram.

The same was said when they appeared at the event in 2021 when she was only 14.

In 2019, she even wore “her Mom’s hat from her unforgettable appearance at The Kentucky Derby in 2004,” Larry said on Twitter.

BIOPIC IN THE WORKS

An upcoming Anna Nicole Smith biopic will bare all about the ’90s icon’s wild life, including a scene where she has phone sex with a close gay friend.

Her two close pals, Gown And Out In Beverly Hills reality show stars Pol Atteu and Patrik Simpson, are overseeing the script about her life.

They said it will not hold back on addressing the late Playboy cover girl and actress’s controversies while showing the world what she was really like. 

Speaking at the Beverly Hills Cinémoi Oscars party, Patrik exclusively told The U.S. Sun that the movie will debunk claims she was a “gold digger” and show how her 89-year-old billionaire husband J. Howard Marshall was her “one true love.”

The designer, 54, said: “I will tell you that one of the key scenes in our movie is going to be when I had phone sex with Anna Nicole. 

“I cannot do this movie and not put that in the movie. She had an outrageous life. She lived it the way she wanted to live it. 

“She didn’t give a f**k about what anyone said or thought. Maybe it’s going to be an R rating, I don’t know. 

“But it’s going to tell the real story of the Anna Nicole Smith that we knew and loved.”

Pol and Patrik have almost finished a script, based on their memoir about the Naked Gun actress Portrait Of An Icon.

There’s no word as to what role Larry or Dannielynn will play in the creation of the biopic.
