Description

Anna Nicole Smith's Personal Journal From 1992. Absolutely fascinating diary handwritten by Smith during 1992 showing a side of her personality that has certainly not heretofore been publicly seen or examined. The book is a "Dreams" Diary from Hallmark, hardback with a metal clasp, 6.25" x 7.25" in size. It does not contain a year printed but Smith's handwritten entries range between June 3 and August 16 of 1992. She writes in both pencil and ink (black and blue ballpoint) and on the front page in felt tip she writes "VICKIE SMITH Do not read!" It contains approximately 14 pages in her writing.

Just exactly who was Anna Nicole Smith? Let's look at her brief autobiography as it appears on her website: "If you don't know who I am by now... Let's see, I was born near Houston, Texas. I'm an international model and have been on numerous magazine covers worldwide. I was crowned Playboy Playmate of the Year. I was also the Guess Jeans Model. I'm also an Actress. I had my own show on E!. Now I have a new movie coming out that I'm starring in (and helped produce) called 'Illegal Aliens,' but we might have to change the name for obvious reasons. Is it just me or does controversy seem to follow me around? And, of course, I am TRIMSPA's most famous customer. There's so much more, but bios are boring and I don't feel like writing any more. What else do you need to know?" Based on the amount of public curiosity her life (and death) generated, there are apparently a lot of people who need to know more. Let's let Anna Nicole reveal to us just a bit more about her life and thoughts through some brief excerpts from her journals (as written, spelling not corrected):

"Went to the mall today caught myself looking at baby stuff I hope Im not pregnant...I dont no what I will do if I am... I'm ready for Al to go home! But he wants to stay the night. Yuck!!... Well today was Daniels [her son] 1st day of camp. He had a great time... Today was a okay day...Someone ran over my cat yesterday I was real sad...Clay came over last nite to give me some sleeping pills... I need to diet Going to try out for a movie part. Hope I get it. I could be a great actress... Everybody went crazy when I went on stage It felt so good... Paul Marciana [Guess co-chairman] sent me a package!! He's comming to meet me on Sun. Cant wait!!...Please God let him love me!!...This could be it (followed by five happy faces)... I'm starving!! Been starving myself... Hes going to publish my pictures Im so glad I didnt sleep with him either!... Ive been really stressed out lately and depressed and I cant quit eating. I feel like a pig... I hate for men to want sex all the time. I hate sex anyway..."

There are many incredibly revealing, humorous, and touching words penned in this diary. When, early in her career, Anna Nicole announced that she planned to become "the next Marilyn Monroe," one has to wonder if she knew that her life would end so similarly to the voluptuous blonde bombshell of a previous generation. There are certainly parallels to be drawn. PSA/DNA as well as GAI certification is included.
