Original subtitles

Hi, y'all.

My name is Anna Nicole Smith.

You probably know me,

or at least think you do,

but I wasn't always known as Anna.

I started out as little old Vickie Lynn hogan

from a small town in Texas.

Let me start from the

beginning, or maybe it was the end.

It's hard to tell.

♪ She's got a soul old as Texas ♪

♪ she loves like a lost little girl ♪

♪ and she's all poems "o"s and "x"es ♪

♪ tell the man he means the world ♪

♪ well, she's a mom and she's a temptress ♪

♪ her eyes flash with lightning sometimes ♪

♪ her heart bruises easy

♪ breaking it should be a crime ♪

♪ cause a good country girl can go wild ♪

♪ if a man makes her cry

♪ with too much Tequila

♪ and too many nights wondering why ♪

♪ so if you should see her be gentle ♪

♪ and don't tell her lies...

Well, this is where it all started.

Hell, I was 17, and Daniel only a year old,

just a single mom.

I guess I was a country song waiting to happen.

Right here, 22 years ago.

I was working as a fry cook

in a fried chicken joint in little old Mexia, Texas.

No one ever says it right.

It's "ma-hay-a."

Guess that kind of sums it up, don't it?

No gravy.

Sorry.

What's with you, girl?

That's the third order you messed up today.

Danny's got a fever.

Think it's on account of him teething?

Well, what did the doctor say?

Doctor?

Don't worry, Vickie.

Kids are tough.

Hey... How's my boy doing?

Shh... sleeping.

Fever broke.

Mama said it's on account of the canines breaking in.

She said, uh...

Rub some whiskey on his gums.

I'll stick with aspirin, but tell your mama thanks.

Terri Jo and them are going down to the bowling alley

Friday night.

Now that you're single, you want to hang out?

I'll stay with Daniel.

What about auntie?

She ain't working Friday night.

She could watch him.

I haven't seen him all week.

I ain't interested in hanging out.

Well, what are you interested in,

Vickie Lynn?

What I'm interested in ain't in Mexia.

To be a model and an actress

just like Marilyn Monroe?

Give me a break.

Yeah, something like that.

Well, wake up and smell the fried chicken.

'Cause you ain't no model,

and you ain't no actress,

and you for damn sure ain't no Marilyn Monroe.

Thanks for your support.

Any time.

Call me when you change your mind.

Doctor's office.

Hi, Dr. Annaba's office?

Yes.

Yeah, it's Vickie Lynn.

I want to make an appointment for my one-year-old, Daniel.

Yeah, um, when were you here last?

I don't see a chart.

Oh, a long time ago.

Uh-huh, and what type of insurance?

I don't have any insurance.

I have cash money.

Ma'am, if it's an emergency,

call 9-1-1.

Otherwise, we're not accepting new patients

at this time.

What do you mean, you're not accepting new patients?

That's crazy.

Hello...

Hello?

Son of a bitch.

Okay...

Come here.

Hey, are your teeth feeling any better?

Oh, my, what's that?

I missed you, pumpkin.

Momma's here now.

It's okay.

Want to dance?

Let's dance.

♪ May your teeth feel better today ♪

♪ may your teeth feel better today... ♪

Uh, oh, I know, I know, I know.

It's okay...

Shh...

Hey, hey, hey, booger.

Hey, booger...

Daniel was the best thing to ever happen to me,

and I was determined to give him a good life...

Okay, I'm going to take a shower.

But I was poor,

and I smelled like fried chicken.

I just knew I had to find a way.

You be a good boy and let momma finish up.

Phew, are you ready?

Okay, here we go.

We're going to have a great life.

You know that saying,

"shit happens, and then you die?"

Well, I like to say it this way,

"shit happens, and then you live."

I moved to Houston to become a star

because if I was a star,

I could do things like buy a house

and get insurance for Daniel.

Was I scared?

Hell yeah, every day.

Did things eventually get better?

Well, not at first.

Hi, I have an appointment.

Name?

I'm Vickie Lynn hogan.

Would that be for car insurance or modeling?

Modeling.

If you buy car insurance,

Mr. Black is likely to help you more.

I just paid mine up.

Well, fill it out and wait.

Okay.

You know about how long?

He'll see you as soon as he can.

Do you have any photos?

Yes, ma'am.

That's me and Daniel.

Fashion photos of yourself?

No, that's why I'm here,

to start my modeling career.

Well, just fill out the form.

Okay, thank you.

You can go in now.

Okay, miss, you can go in.

Make sure he knows you bought car insurance.

All right, Daisie Mae, it's your turn.

Mr. Black

will see you now.

Hi, I'm Mr. Black.

Hi, I'm Vickie Lynn.

What can I do you for?

I want to be a model.

You are a pretty thing.

Did you need insurance?

No, sir, just paid up,

but, uh, next time for sure.

Did you have any pictures?

Your ad said

you do fashion photography.

I certainly do.

Let me show you my studio.

You ever been in a studio?

Can't say that I have.

Well, they're all the same.

Can I call you Vickie?

Sure.

You are a pretty thing.

I can see real potential in you.

I'd love to work with you.

Really?

You bet.

Now, here's how it works.

Here's the secret formula for making you a star.

I shoot some great pictures of you.

My clients will jump for joy

when they see you.

First I got to know if you really want it.

I do. I really, really do.

Photos are $500.

That's the whole thing.

8x12, nice glossy color.

It's good for selling, very professional.

$500...

Well, since we're going to wait

on the car insurance...

You got a payment plan?

I do.

But I can only give it out

to special clients,

if you know what I mean.

Mr. Black, are you suggesting

that I sleep with you?

Whoa, nobody said anything about sleeping, but...

If you want a career,

there's a lot of things you got to do

that might seem a touch...

Uncomfortable at first.

Mr. Black,

I knew you were the cheapest photographer in town.

I just didn't realize how cheap.

How can you work for that man?

We kept going, me and Daniel,

'cause I knew things were about to change for us.

Hell, they just had to.

You're late.

Sorry.

I wasted time at that modeling agency

I was telling you about.

I take it it didn't go well.

You could say that. He wanted $500.

Oh, foo!

The price of fame has gone up.

He'd give me a payment plan

if I slept with him.

Men. All about sex and sports.

Most of the time, together.

I'm so tired.

So, what are you going to do?

Well, I might be able to save $500

if the car don't break,

or something else don't go wrong.

When I was young,

way before I met my husband, of course,

I'm talking way before.

I was a very good-looking girl,

and I needed to make some money fast. So...

You didn't!

You were a whore?

Shh! Not so loud.

Of course not.

I was stripping.

Before that,

I worked in some cancer research factory

lighting cigarettes for the rats.

You're kidding.

Yes.

But I did do some dumb-ass work for 50 cents an hour.

But stripping?

I made a year's wages in one week.

You think I could do it?

You know, just to save enough for some pictures.

It's just like dancing in the mirror.

Men'll be giving you money

faster than ducks on June bugs.

Miss Bea, you are a wicked woman.

Yeah...

Ducks on June bugs.

Hell, that doesn't sound too hard, does it?

Hey.

Hey.

Come over here.

You want to apply for a job?

Thinking about it.

So apply. Huh?

All right, let's do it.

You'll be fine.

You think?

Yes, of course.

Have you ever been in a strip club before?

Can I be honest?

Sure.

I'm a single mom working two jobs.

Fun ain't in our vocabulary.

Well, just remember,

it's all about dancing, selling booze,

and having fun.

You're so kind.

Please, sit.

Thanks.

Hey, Carl.

This is Cassiopeia

and her heavenly body.

So, who's this?

She's applying for a job as a dancer.

Oh... Uh, honey,

you ever do this before?

No, ma'am, but I can.

Let's see what you got.

Well, go on, darling.

Let's see what you got.

Here?

Yeah. Right here. Right now.

Hold on, now.

Look, do you want this job or not?

I'm sorry.

I-I've never...

It's all right, it's all right.

Just relax, huh?

Are you all right?

Yes, sir. I'm fine.

Good.

Now, listen, darling,

this here's a strip club.

See this girl dancing over there?

You've got to make like her.

Can you do it?

Yes, sir.

Can you show us?

Because, see, I need to see what I'm selling my customers.

Well, what do you think?

She's got a good look.

She ain't ready for no prime-time yet, but...

She's pretty as a picture,

but... little titties.

What is the deal with her hair?

All right, darling,

that's great.

So, uh, what's your name?

Vickie Lynn hogan.

Vickie will do.

Now, listen, I'll give you a shot

on the lunch shift.

Thank you. Thank you very much.

Cassie, you want to show her around?

Come on,

I'll show you the dressing room.

What am I going to do now?

We are going to dress you up

and send you out on the stage.

Now?

You want the job.

Pay's good?

Well, you make your real money from the tips,

so forget about the check.

One man plus two beers equals 20 bucks.

Put some make-up on.

I have make-up on.

No, you don't.

Okay, this should work for today.

Looks clean.

Smells clean.

This is not good.

Kill that strobe.

Damn thing gives me a headache.

You take care of her, all right?

I quit my job

and worked the lunch shift at the club.

After a year, though, I was ready for more.

So me and Cassie decided it was time to develop my act.

Okay, now, look at this one.

Damn...

These people are making money

24-7.

It's so beautiful.

24-7.

Even when they sleep.

One day I'm going to have a big house like this,

with a pool and lots of TVs.

Of course you are, honey.

I won't forget about you, Cassie.

I'm not like that.

Of course you're not.

So, are you ready to go do your hair?

Yeah.

We got to pick up Daniel first.

Okay.

This is cool.

Here you go, Daniel, have a chip.

You want that same exact color?

Yup, platinum.

It's off-the-chart blonde.

Marilyn blonde.

Okay, let's get started.

I'll get my robe.

So, what do you think?

Wow, you look very pretty, mom.

Like a movie star.

You look fantastic.

Like a movie star?

Especially if you had some boobs.

You should think about getting a set like these.

They cost a lot.

Oh, you'll make it back in tips in no time.

You think?

One day, I was asked to cover on the night shift with Cassie.

Who knew it would change my life forever?

Whoo!

One for you...

One for you...

For me. Ante up!

Well, come on!

What are the boys going to say

when they find out you lost to a girl?

You know, there's two kinds of women,

those from Texas, and those who ain't.

Some Florida girls are pretty darn close.

Vickie, there's a guy at the V.I.P. Section

who wants to see you.

You did good.

♪ Desire whenever you are near ♪

♪ when your thoughts they whisper in my ear ♪

♪ say the words you know I love to hear ♪

♪ there's nowhere to hide what I feel inside ♪

♪ desire...

You wanted to see me?

Well, it's a pleasure.

Come on in, sit down.

Let's have a drink.

Well, I'll sit,

but I can't have anything else to drink.

Well, anyway,

I just wanted to talk.

My name is J. Howard Marshall the second.

Hello, J. Howard Marshall the second.

I'm Vickie Lynn.

A pleasure.

You want me to dance?

Oh, no, no, no. Come on, sit down.

Sit down.

All right.

Yeah.

You remind me of Marilyn Monroe.

I met her once in Washington.

You did?

Yeah, I can honestly say that you and her,

you're in the same class.

Thank you.

I've always felt a strong connection to her.

Well, there you go!

How we doing?

Anything I can get you?

Sorry, we're supposed to be dancing.

Okay, here you go.

Thank you very much, Mr. Marshall.

Now, Vickie, you and the gentleman,

you have a good time, now, all right?

I'll make sure you're not disturbed.

I appreciate that, Carl.

I appreciate it.

Now, please, tell me all about yourself.

Well, there's not really much to tell.

I have a son named Daniel.

He's my world...

And I want to be a model and an actress.

You like working here?

It's tough work, but it's real good money.

Before this, I was a waitress

and fried chicken.

You know, I admire a woman with a strong work ethic.

Thank you.

You're a kind man.

Well, thank you.

I'll tell you a little secret.

You know, when the body grows a little older with time,

the insides stay pretty much the same.

Like in my case...

I'm still 29.

I believe it.

Yeah!

I can see it in those eyes.

And next, we have everyone's favorite,

the beautiful Vickie Lynn!

I got to go do my show.

Oh, uh...

Will you have dinner with me tomorrow?

Okay, why not?

I'll send a car to pick you up.

All right, Carl will give you my address.

7:30 okay?

Picking me up, or dinner?

Car picks you up.

All right, I'll see you.

Good night, dear.

Good night.

Oh, we'll have a little of that Dom Perignon,

if you don't mind.

I don't eat fried chicken.

Oh, well, you can have whatever you want.

You take my breath away.

What did you expect?

You have far exceeded my expectations.

You like my dress?

Oh, yes, yes.

There's just one little thing wrong with it.

What, too tight?

Oh, no, no, no, no, you wear it beautifully.

It...

It needs an accent.

I can't take that.

That's just a small gesture of our friendship.

Please.

Please accept it, huh?

You know, when men ask you out,

they usually take you to some out-of-the-way joint.

You took me right to the center of your world.

Well, this is not exactly the center,

but...

You don't know who I am, do you?

Just what I've seen.

Yeah.

You giving Carl a wad of cash

was a pretty good sign you got some dough.

Then again,

it could have been your life savings.

Am I flattering myself too much?

No, no, not at all, I love it,

but back to that, uh, center thing.

You know, one day, when you are a billionaire,

you can say

you are the center of things.

Huh?

You gave me a chill.

Why, because of the money?

No! Because you asked me.

Yeah. You're right.

Here's our waiter now.

Have you had an opportunity

to look yet?

Um...

Could you give us maybe another minute?

Thank you.

...so I just loaded up the car

and went to Houston.

It's not Hollywood,

but I can take acting class and stuff.

Well, you did the right thing.

Would you have lunch with me tomorrow?

I want to!

I can't recall having such a good time.

I got to work, though.

I'd like you to quit your job.

What's that?

That's an investment in you.

What do you want in return?

To feel like I feel today.

All right. I can do that.

Just as long as it don't interfere with my career.

Oh, no, no, no, not at all.

You have my full support, huh?

Okay.

Let's drink on that.

Yes, sir.

Whoo-hoo!

I didn't go back to the club the next day or ever,

but three months later,

I finally got me that pair of new titties.

Daniel!

Turn it down or turn it off!

The only thing hurts worse than getting new titties?

Going to the dentist.

Hey, Daniel.

Hey, Cassie.

Vickie?

Look at these titties.

They're beautiful.

They pick up stuff.

They'll pick up more than that.

How you feeling?

Good.

The doctor said the pain'd go away

in a couple of days.

What's that?

Pain pills. Does your back hurt you?

Oh, it did at first.

I mean, you got to do all those exercises.

Can I get a couple of those pain pills?

Sure.

I got a subscription.

You got a what?

What'd I say?

"Subscription."

I got a subscription to my prescription.

These are 50 milligrams.

Mmm... I gotta go.

Tell me

you're just using Marshall for his money.

Cassie, I love him.

He saved me,

and he saved Daniel.

He loves me, and I love him for it.

Well, I love you, and I don't want to lose you.

I love you, too.

You're not going to lose me.

It's...

It's kind of tender.

I can't lose you.

Howard always says it's the inside,

not the outside that counts.

Hey, I'm still Vickie Lynn

from Texas.

You're my friend.

I'm hungry.

Cassie's going to fix you something to eat

because momma's got to go to class.

Hey, hey...

Why's momma got to go to class?

So you can be a big star like Marilyn Monroe,

and buy us a big house and toys...

And send you to private school.

And so we can have insurance.

Aww...

Daniel, go get the bread.

I'll make you a sandwich.

Okay.

Hey, cheer up.

Babysitter's going to be here soon, okay?

I'm going to dinner with Howard tonight,

so see you later.

Vickie...

Pretend the lens is your boyfriend.

It's kind of small.

It's not the size,

it's the swing.

Kind of stiff, but good.

You are a pretty lady.

Thank you.

Pretty will only get you so far.

Give me... the inner beauty of Vickie Lynn.

Nice.

Ah, very nice.

Spunk, I like it.

Let's try something.

Modeling is selling product.

Sell me something.

Let me think...

How about root beer and a bag of chips?

You're thinking. No thinking.

Who do you admire?

Marilyn Monroe.

Well, then, show me.

Patron Saint of gay men all around the world.

You got it.

Marilyn Monroe, watch out.

Yeah, hold that one. Beautiful.

When we sent the pictures to playboy ,

I thought things were changing for sure.

I'm home!

I knew things were changing between me and Cassie.

I just didn't know it meant I'd never see her again.

Hey, where is everybody?

Maria?

Maria!

Hey, pumpkin, where's Maria?

I don't know.

What do you mean? What happened?

I don't know.

Where's Cassie?

She left.

Oh, god... come here.

You were all by yourself?

I was afraid.

Don't be afraid. You're a good boy.

Look at me, look at me.

I will never, ever, ever leave you alone,

you understand me?

I will always be here for you, you understand?

Okay.

Okay.

I love you.

Mommy?

It's okay, it's all right.

Hola?

Hi, is Maria there?

Hey, no, she's not here.

No?

This is Vickie Lynn Smith.

She's supposed to be watching my son.

Well, no comprende to you either!

Hello?

Hey, honey.

I can't come over tonight.

Is there something the matter?

My babysitter didn't show up.

Oh, don't worry.

I understand completely.

Love you.

I love you, too.

...the forecast,

plenty of sunshine through today

with seasonal temperatures...

I can't believe you left my baby!

Who are you?

I'm Teresa Lopez.

Mr. Marshall sent me to look after your son.

He did?

Yes, he was concerned.

He hired me to look after your son

for as long as you like.

These are my credentials.

Credentials?

Yes, I have been trained, and I have references.

Well, come on in.

That's my Daniel.

Hello, Daniel.

Hi.

Hmm...

I hear you haven't been feeling too well.

Not really.

I'm also a trained nurse.

Nurse?

I'm so worried all the time.

I got to call Howard and thank him.

His car is outside waiting for you.

I believe you are having dinner tonight?

Hear that?

You tricked me, you old fart.

Did not.

Did too.

I had a hard day, but I loved it.

Honey, I love you.

Oh, I've got another present for you.

I want you and Daniel to move in here.

Well, there's plenty of room,

it's a good school district,

and best of all, nanny has her own quarters,

so she'll be around here all the time.

I must be dreaming.

You certainly are a dream, honey.

Vickie...

Will you marry me, honey?

Oh, my, you're certainly full of surprises today.

I love you,

but I...

I got to make it on my own first.

I got a dream, and I got to do it.

You really are something, honey.

But you hang onto it anyway.

Wow...

You've always believed in me, Howard.

Yeah,

and I'll always take care of you.

You're my baby girl,

and I wish you every success.

I want all the good things

to come into your life, honey.

So me and Daniel moved into the ranch house,

and I kept the ring like Howard asked me to,

and months went by,

and he never said anything about it.

Ladies...

Rebecca, Evelyn,

Olivia...

Tammy,

and Vickie.

Sorry I'm late.

What is the very first rule of modeling?

Be on time.

I'm sorry, my son, he was in a bit of a crisis.

Employers do not care about your crises.

They care about getting the job done.

Yes, ma'am.

All right. Ladies, let's begin.

All right.

Now, let's try that again.

Step forward.

Don't swing your arms too much.

Vickie, you are not walking through a cow pasture.

Vickie, honey, please stop.

Just where are you going?

You're supposed to stop,

do your pose on your Mark,

and that's all there is to it.

I'm sorry. These are new.

They're a little bit like stopping an 18-Wheeler

for the first time.

I'll tell you, honey,

at best, you might be

a plus-size catalog model.

Now, is that why you're here?

No, ma'am.

I'm here to be the next Marilyn Monroe.

Well, that is a mighty lofty goal.

Oh, I like you, Vickie. I really do.

You've got such determination,

but you're going to need more focus

and more discipline.

Yes, ma'am.

All right, now, let's try this again.

All right, girls.

Let's go, let's walk,

let's cradle those flowers.

Cradle them like your little baby.

Walk again. Slowly...

And then the letter came.

I'd almost stopped looking for it in the mail.

Danny baby, can you open this?

Never mind.

Howard!

Baby, I did it!

Howard, I'm going to be in playboy!

Whoo!

Howard, I'm going to be in playboy!

Go, mom, go!

Go, mom, go!

Oh, I'm so proud of you, Vickie!

Oh, we're going to California.

We're getting a real photographer.

Is California a long way away, mom?

It sure is, baby.

Our car going to make it?

We're not driving.

We're going to take a real jet plane.

Come on, I got to pack.

Oh, wow, come on, momma's got to pack!

Come on now, let's go!

Excellent.

That's nice.

Okay, move your head up

and a little bit to the right.

Right there.

That's great.

Yes.

Oh, you're devouring this lens.

Okay, we got that.

Let's get some shots from the waist up.

Vickie, it's... Time for the top to come off.

This is for playboy.

Well, I know that.

Well, then... what's the matter?

Nothing, I'm fine.

Vickie...

I heard that you were a dancer.

It's just...

I haven't had a chance

to take the girls for a walk outside yet.

Oh, I see. Okay.

Well, let's just, uh...

We'll keep shooting.

You do it when you feel like it.

Okay.

All right.

Okay, here we go.

Beautiful.

You're a natural, Vickie.

What a face.

You like my face?

More importantly, the camera loves your face.

Has anyone ever told you that you look like...

Marilyn Monroe? All the time.

Oh, well, then.

Ladies and gentlemen, miss Marilyn Monroe.

I bet you like diamonds, too, huh?

Diamonds are a girl's best friend.

You even sound like her.

Beautiful.

I've been doing this a long time, Vickie.

Take it from me,

you should be on the cover of this magazine.

Now, that's what I'm talking about.

It was a crazy year.

Cover, centerfold, miss may?

Who knew that I'd soon be named playmate of the year?

And even though it was just the beginning,

I had no idea how much was yet to come.

Bobby!

Hi!

Hi!

She'd stop a tourist bus

just to have her picture taken.

Just remember you're next, baby.

I'd better be.

I'm meeting with Heff, okay?

Consider it done.

This is how you work a crowd, honey.

Show 'em.

You like my body?

Love y'all, Texas style.

I'm here with Vickie Lynn Smith,

miss may.

How are you?

I'm good,

and so happy to be miss may!

You have a big personality.

Well, I'm from Texas. We like big.

What kind of men do you like?

I like kind and respectful men.

Men who know how to take care of a lady.

What are your plans?

I want to be the next Marilyn Monroe.

She was an icon, a legend.

Do you think you could be that great?

Oh, you don't dream big, you'll never be big.

Wow, okay.

Vickie Lynn, miss may.

Hi, Vickie, how are you?

How you feeling?

Like shit.

Well, you had an adverse reaction

between your prescription drugs

and alcohol.

Am I going to be okay?

I need to see my boy.

You'll see him later.

We're going to keep you here under observation

for a couple of days.

He's got to go to school.

What happened to you is serious.

Do you take any other drugs?

No. Just prescription.

Well, you got lucky this time.

Let's not push our luck again, okay?

Hey...

I missed you, punker poo.

Are you sick?

No, I just had a bad mix. Everything'll be fine.

You take your medicine?

Yeah, I feel fine.

Maybe we should go see the doctor again.

Why?

You look scared.

It's okay. I'm just worried.

I'll call the doctor.

No, mom.

As long are you're okay, I'm okay, too.

Look.

The tutor gave me a test, and I got an a-plus.

That's my boy.

I'm so proud of you.

Are we going back to Houston?

I want to go home.

Yeah.

I'm ready to go back soon, too.

Howard keeps asking.

I was famous.

I had a new agent, ginger, who pretty much ran my life.

Still, nothing was better

than being home on the ranch with Howard.

Daniel!

Turn that damn music down! It's giving me a damn headache!

Yeah, well,

I think I have something that'll make it go away.

Guess jeans wants you to replace Claudia Schiffer.

No way.

Daniel, get in here!

Are you serious?

Yes!

Well, she's a real model.

They want you to be their model and spokesperson.

Three-year deal. Should I say yes?

Daniel, Guess Jeans wants momma to be their spokesperson.

What do you think?

I don't know. It sounds good.

Hell yeah!

I got to go tell Howard.

I signed a three-year contract

to be the new model for Guess jeans ,

and got me a new name, Anna Nicole.

I was like a kid in a candy store

that had too much to eat.

I worried about Daniel,

and Howard was worried about me

with all the running around I was doing,

so he asked me to marry him, again,

and this time, I agreed.

He loved me, and I loved him right back.

My guardian angel.

He saved me and Daniel. Saved us, I tell you.

Merry Christmas, sleepy head.

Hmm?

Oh, hey.

Good morning.

Good morning. Now, open it.

I want to say something first.

What's that?

You make me happy.

You make me happy.

Well, and I...

I-I got a couple of Christmas presents for you.

The, uh... the ranch house,

the Mercedes,

and everything else I've-I've ever given you

is yours

because you just make me

so happy.

I know why you married me.

Because I love you.

Yes, I believe you do, and you're a good woman,

and you've got to live your life.

I am living my life,

and it's a lucky one to be married to you.

And no matter what happens, you stick to your guns.

All right, now, open it.

All right, let's see.

Hey, pumpkin.

How you doing?

Hey...

What's wrong?

Nothing.

You having those dark thoughts again?

I'm fine.

Okay, well, I got to get Howard,

so eat your food and take your pills?

You'll feel better.

Take them.

Thanks.

I'll see you in a little bit?

I love you.

Howard, what are you doing in bed?

Oh, I'll be down later, honey.

You okay?

I don't know.

I feel a little weak.

A little weak...

Ain't nothing weak about you.

My boys got to get better.

I've got a plane at 5:00, that okay?

That's fine, honey, fine.

Fine...

Everybody says they're fine,

but nobody's acting fine.

Don't worry.

Just give me a kiss before you go, huh?

Give me a kiss.

Ah, yeah.

It's a magical kiss.

That's my magical kiss from my magical girl.

My sweet little magical girl...

Howard's death closed a door in my soul.

I'll never love a man like him.

I wore my wedding dress to the funeral.

Nobody understood.

Howard would have.

In the years that followed his death,

Howard's son came after me...

Or more to the point,

he came looking for Howard's money.

It was hard on all of us,

and I got to admit it,

I don't remember much of those years.

Thank you very much.

Thanks, folks.

Anna Nicole.

Here comes Anna Nicole.

Rise and shine, mom.

Come on.

Mom, let's go.

I love you, but get the hell out of here.

You've got to get up, mom.

No.

Mom, ginger's waiting downstairs.

Good, let her wait.

Mom...

We can beat this.

You think?

Sure.

You don't sound so sure.

Well, I just don't...

I don't like what they say about you.

Sweetie, it's just the press.

Don't worry about it.

Well, stop sitting in here

and moping all day.

Just go out there and...

And show them what you got.

I like when you're the boss.

I am the boss.

And what am I?

Nothing.

So you're the boss of nothing?

Whatever, mom. I'm going to school.

I'll see you.

Get over here and give me a hug first.

You're feeling okay, right?

Yeah. I mean, I just...

I can't help but feeling anxious, though.

You taking your medicine?

Just takes a while to kick in, you know?

Okay, good.

I'll call the doctor, see about upping your dose.

All right, mom, I'm going to go to school.

Okay, I'll see you later.

Love you, mom.

She's up.

Is she in a good mood?

She's depressed.

How about you, how are you doing?

I wish I didn't have to go to school.

I know.

Chin up, okay?

Hey, good morning!

Nothing good about it.

Oh, would you like some coffee?

Frigging fat.

Where's my coffee?

I'm making it.

What time I got to be in court?

10:30.

I don't want to go.

Well, you know what, you have to,

because today you testify.

Pissed me off.

I got to convince the whole frigging world

that I loved him and he loved me.

It's bullshit.

And Daniel, he's suffering.

I don't want my boy struggling.

I worked too damn hard for all of this.

And me, what about me?

You... have to get ready.

Jesus.

Hurry up, or you'll be late for your crucifixion!

And I'll tell you another thing,

I ain't giving up.

I ain't giving up.

I didn't want this war,

but I'm going to give it as good as I got.

Can you get me another coffee, darling?

Yes, Vickie.

All right, welcome back, everyone.

My next guest was the playmate of the year.

I'm sure you guys have seen that issue.

I know I've worn mine out.

A former guess jeans model,

just the jeans, not the shirts, as I understand,

and today she performed

in the district court in Los Angeles

in a lawsuit

that has really gathered a lot of public attention.

Please welcome the very beautiful

Anna Nicole Smith.

Hi!

Welcome.

Now, that's what I call an entrance.

My lawyers taught me that for court.

Ah, so you're with a conservative approach.

Something like that.

I'm already getting in public.

Couldn't hurt any more.

Well, how about in private?

Oh, I don't go out.

You don't go out?

Mmm... right.

I'm a stay-at-home mom,

except when I go to court.

Well, if you were to go out,

what kind of man would you look for?

Anybody I don't have to support.

So basically if they have a job,

they qualify?

That's a good start.

You have a job!

No, no, I'm married.

I'm married.

I'm married, I'm married...

Okay, you don't count.

Oh, well, thanks a lot for that.

Oh, I just, I didn't mean it that way.

You are a sweetie!

How's the court case coming?

I ain't got a clue.

You go every day.

Right.

You want to know the deal?

Poor girl falls in love with an older man...

You got that?

And then older man asks her to marry him,

and she says "yes" because she loved him, and...

You got that?

And then...

Family gets all pissed off.

That's it.

That's the deal.

You left out the part about the billion dollars.

Mm, there's that.

Yeah, there's that.

Listen, we're going to take a commercial break,

and when we come back,

I want you to tell us a whole lot more, okay?

Sure.

Love y'all.

Stay with us.

We'll be back.

Anna, hey, you were great.

Thanks, Larry.

Sure.

You got enough pictures of me.

Fair enough.

You want to get a drink?

A drink?

Sure, why not?

Sure. Why not?

I could use a diversion.

That's a big word for a girl from Mexia.

Look who's talking, Kentucky boy.

You coming?

Oh yeah.

You were funny tonight.

Thank you.

I wasn't trying to be.

You don't want another?

You bet I do.

Here.

So, what brought you to L.A.?

Well, I'm a celebrity photographer.

Where else should I be?

Oh, I thought you were going say me.

Well, you, sure, and others.

Why you want to take pictures of me,

and others?

I like your spunk.

Spunk.

Spunk...

Spunk's a funny word.

You got spunk?

I sure do.

You want to have sex.

No.

You like my boobs?

They are beautiful.

I bought them.

Great, you're finally back.

Hey, Howard.

Hello, Anna, ready for our big day?

Sure am.

Where the hell were you?

I didn't know when you were coming back,

if you were.

I needed a personal day.

Yeah, well, you can't disappear like that.

There are too many people out there

that want to take advantage of you.

Look, I said

I needed a personal day.

Oh, my god.

You had sex with him.

What if this guy was setting you up?

Who cares?

You can only get so much mud on you.

Do you even know the guy's name?

I don't know.

I think I met him at the Kentucky derby

or something.

Now, give me some coffee.

Sounds like she's the one who needs to get laid.

How do you trust someone like that?

Name, Vickie.

What's the guy's name?

It's none of your business.

Maybe you need to get laid.

What the hell does that mean?

Is that my coffee?

Yeah, Vickie,

it's your coffee.

Come on, let's go.

In the case of Marshall V. Marshall,

the court has made the following judgment.

Mrs. Vickie Lynn Marshall

shall retain her $50,000 a month

spousal support,

plus the interest accumulated

during the period of marriage,

a resulting in a reduction to $88 million.

I won 88 million dollars?

Yeah.

It's not a half a billion anymore,

but trust me,

they will appeal this one as well.

Again?

What am I going to do?

Welcome to the beautiful cabana club.

Today I'm so happy...

Ooh, ow.

Such a fat-ass.

When are we going to make up, Howard?

When are you going to drop off

those luxurious furnishings, Bobby?

Uh, in due time,

when I have that feeling...

Daniel!

Come here, baby!

Don't touch me.

Come be in the scene with me.

No, mom.

Go on, Daniel, be in the scene.

You be in the scene.

Your hands are all sweaty.

He's nervous.

Don't be nervous.

Oof!

Oh, my god.

Got it.

Are you okay, baby girl?

I got to pee.

You know where the bathroom is?

Over there.

You guys want to film me peeing?

Mom!

What? Y'all don't want to be in the scene with me.

I think you hurt his feelings.

Shut up, Bobby.

Oh, Howard, talk to the hand.

Go chase after Anna. There she goes.

Go chase after her.

Go away.

Okay, cut, cut. Everybody, cut, cut.

Just give it a rest.

Give it a rest, give it a rest...

Daniel? Daniel? Daniel...

Sorry I yelled at you.

It's okay.

No, it's not okay.

I shouldn't have done it.

Is everything okay?

Howard...

Tell me what's the matter.

You're embarrassing me.

You're embarrassing yourself, mom.

How many is that?

One, every 12 hours.

Good. Keep it that way.

You know, it's okay to feel the pain

sometimes.

It makes you strong.

You sure don't want to feel any, mom.

Sweetie, it's just an act.

I don't like it.

The kids at school think you're insane.

Don't worry about what the kids think.

You're better than this, though, mom.

I know. I really know.

It just pays the bills.

I'm just tired of all these people here

all the time.

I'll tell you what.

You don't have to be in the show

if you don't want to.

Season's almost over,

and we'll see what happens.

I worry about you, mom.

I know, sweetie.

I know.

Mom?

Mom?

Mom. Mom!

Wha... what?

What's the matter?

I'm afraid for us, mom.

Why?

Don't be afraid.

Look at you.

It's just an act.

You're my straight-a student...

Mom, mom, mom,

you have to clean up your act

and get your act together.

I'm so proud of you.

I'm proud of you, too, mom.

Except you really have to get better.

I promise.

You said that before.

I did?

Don't fool?

I'm serious.

We've done too much and gone too far.

You're right. I promise.

I'm holding you to it this time.

Good.

Starting tomorrow, there's no more cameras,

and no TV show!

I'll believe that, mom, when I see it.

Don't ever doubt my gumption.

So I kept my promise and got better.

I even started seeing someone.

Thing was, as I got better,

Daniel seemed to be getting worse and worse.

Hey, your momma home?

She's upstairs,

working out.

I brought her some pralines.

She's been working so hard

I figured a little sugar couldn't hurt.

You okay? You don't look so hot.

Yeah, I'm fine.

Hey... don't wander off too far.

Later, Daniel.

Whatever.

Is he okay?

Yeah, he's just protective of his momma.

I see you brought me some sweets.

Yes, I did.

Look at my body.

I lost 55 pounds.

Before that, hell, I was a celebrity trainwreck.

Trimspa, baby.

I'm doing what you asked.

I know.

I got a new job.

I'm proud of you.

We're going to be cool, right?

Whatever.

Do you want to die young like Marilyn Monroe?

Why are you having those dark thoughts?

I don't know.

Honey, things are going to be great.

Now more than ever.

What's so different about now?

Well...

I'm going to have a baby.

No way.

Yes way!

So you see,

I got another little one to raise.

Mom, you're kind of sweaty.

Sorry.

I'll go take a shower.

Trimspa saved my life.

Now, let's get real here.

Being overweight don't feel no good.

It don't feel good when you look in the mirror.

It don't feel good when you can't see your feet,

and I got big feet.

I'm a big girl.

So, what happens?

You get depressed, and you gain weight...

When's Daniel coming in?

Uh, Saturday.

Can't he get here any sooner?

I don't think he feels real comfortable

seeing you give birth.

I'm his momma.

Ow!

Before you know it,

you're running around in circles...

All right, don't start without me.

Nurse, consent her for a c-section.

Oh! Jesus!

...but with the support of trimspa,

I jumped out of that circle of doom.

It hurts!

Trimspa, baby.

Hey, Daniel. It's a girl.

A sister. That's cool.

Yeah. Your mom wants to see you.

I told you guys I'd be there on Saturday.

She would like to see you sooner.

Listen...

I'll be there on Saturday, okay?

Hi.

Hi. You must be Daniel.

Yeah. Nice to meet you.

Maybe I'll see you later.

Sure, I'm around.

You going to come over here and see your baby sister?

Sure.

She's...

Really small.

Shhh...

You were small like this, too.

She smells like a baby.

Moment I laid eyes on you was the happiest day of my life.

This makes two.

I love you, mom.

Momma's so tired.

But happy.

Long time coming.

You look tired too.

Just a... Cold and the flight.

Following the doctor's orders?

Yes.

I'm worried about you.

I know, mom.

It's just...

I'm just tired.

Daniel...

Daniel...

Wake up.

Daniel, let's get some breakfast.

Daniel...

Daniel?

Daniel?

Daniel? Daniel?

Come on, baby, wake up. Daniel!

He's not breathing. Help me!

Somebody help!

Daniel! Daniel! Come on, baby!

Daniel! Daniel! Daniel?

Daniel! He's not breathing!

We need a doctor in here!

Daniel! Daniel!

Get her on the bed!

Please!

Keep her calm!

Get her back on the bed, please!

Mom?

Mom?

Mom?

Mom!

I'm lost, mom.

Mom, where are you?

Mom!

I'm afraid.

I'm lost, mommy.

Mom, where are you?

Miss Anna!

We need to take her to a hospital.

We have to watch her

every minute of the day now.

Oh, ginger, thank god you came.

I didn't know who else to call.

You're her friend.

Uh, county general?

Yeah...

How we doing?

She's shaking like a leaf.

Do you want some water?

Please.

Oh, honey, you are burning up.

What's it say?

104.

I'm going to run you an ice bath.

I'm cold, ginger.

I know. You got a bad fever.

I don't like being cold.

Well, soak in the tub,

and I'll talk to Howard

about getting you to see a doctor

if the fever doesn't break.

I'm here now, sweetie, okay?

I'm going to look after you.

I'm here.

Just take your time.

Take it easy.

A nice cool bath.

That'll make you feel better, huh?

Let me help you with your robe.

Yeah, there you go.

Ooh, it's so cold.

I know.

Got any Rose petals?

Yes.

Can't smell them, but I can pretend.

Mm-hm.

I'm going to be back in a few minutes, okay?

Okay.

Anybody ever buried their child knows what I feel.

I had a dream to make a better life for Daniel.

Now that dream's a nightmare.

Honey, what's going on?

My baby's crying.

No, honey, your baby's fine.

She's with me and Howard.

You hit your head?

No, my back.

All right, let me help you.

I been in here forever.

Just a few minutes.

Let's get you back to bed.

Hey, ginger.

Today's not going to be a good day to come over.

Howard says we need to go down to Florida to see the boat

as soon as possible.

I know, I hate leaving Daniel Lynn.

You check in on her.

Okay.

All right, I'll see you when we get back.

Okay, thanks.

Yeah, bye.

Anna, over here!

Over here!

Anna! Anna!

Okay, guys, back off.

Back off, guys.

Can you back it up, please?

Give it a rest.

Thank you, thank you.

Thank you.

Anna, could I have your autograph?

Yeah, what's your name, sweetie?

Angel.

I'm a really big fan of yours. I know all about you.

I just wanted to tell you

that everything's going to be okay soon.

Trust me, you'll be okay.

Thanks, honey...

Okay, we're all good.

She's not well.

Her temperature is almost 105.

We should think about taking her in.

No, look, Anna said no hospitals.

Oh, shoot,

I promised I was going to go take a look at the boat.

Call me when she wakes up.

Okay.

Anna?

Anna...

Oh, my god.

Oh...

Yes, if you can, please respond to the hard rock, room 607.

It's going to be referenced to a white female who is, um...

She's not breathing. She's not responsive.

She's, um, actually, Anna Nicole Smith.

Look at me.

My last day on earth.

I was a mess.

You know, there's certain things in life

people can't ever get over.

For me, it was Daniel dying.

Media went crazy when I died.

You think with everything else going on in the world,

they'd have something better to do.

Hell...

Maybe they'll even make a movie about me.
