Anna Nicole Smith (November 28, 1967 – February 8, 2007)[1][2] was an American model, actress and celebrity. She first became popular as Playboy magazine's 1993 Playmate of the Year.
She was born Vicki Lynn Hogan in Houston, Texas.
On February 8, 2007, Smith was found in a hotel room in Hollywood, Florida. At 1:38 p.m. (18:38 UTC) a nurse called 911. At 1:45 p.m. a bodyguard gave her CPR before she was taken to a local hospital and pronounced dead at 2:49 p.m. Her death was caused by an accidental overdose.
Smith was addicted to prescription medications. A psychiatrist said in court in 2010 that she was a member of hospital staff in 2006, when Smith was a patient. The psychiatrist said Smith had borderline personality disorder.[3]
