Description

Anna Nicole Smith's Personal Journal From 1994. Absolutely fascinating diary handwritten by Smith during 1994 showing a side of her personality that has certainly not heretofore been publicly seen or examined. The book is a "Guess Kids 1994" paperback ring bound diary, 3.75" x 6" in size, with one page printed for each week. Smith has written this one entirely in black ink on various pages ranging from January 3 to December 26. There are approximately 30 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):

"Jesus loves you yes he does Jesus love me to. He looks from up above at me and you... My husbands [J. Howard Marshall] very sick and weak, Theres nothing I can do I want each hour to comfort him with medicines and prayers... When you touch him Im afraid he might break... Sometimes he tries to smile and give me such hope, he a fighter and I believe he can make it...If Jesus desides to take him I dont no what I'll do. I love him so much... I wish Pierce [Marshall's son] would stay out of our lives and let us be...He took all the money away from me would not pay my bills... they should have never let him out of the hospital with namonia...God I just love him so... Sometimes I think of awlful things like hes going to die...I dont think I would be stable enough to go to his funeral if he died... I need some support and I have none. But I do have Jesus and my Director is comming down to support me. He's the one who brought me back to Jesus... I can't dare sleep cause he will pull out that breathing tube. No one else stays here but a few minutes. But im his wife and I want to be here... Ive cried so much I dont have any tears... My husbands much better...I believe hill live to a hundred and 10 and still keep fighting untill the End... My husband has had a miracle. Jesus let him stay he new he shouldnt take him away... I'd die for him hes so precious to me... I am now devoted for life to Jesus..."

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.
