Frank Moreno on Friend, Anna Nicole Smith
"Hounded by the media, I'd often go out with her and she'd have to be in disguise. Because of the TV show making a mockery of her life, I don't think anybody got to see what an intelligent, grounded person she really was. She would always tease me and say 'I wish I looked like Frank Marino.' When the truth of the matter was, I think any woman on this earth would have given her right arm to look like her. In fact, over the years, she became the inspiration for many of the hair styles that I wear in the La Cage show. I will miss her very much as I'm sure many people will."
Frank told me that Anna Nicole visited him in Vegas several times as they became good friends. She was seen several times solo at the Riviera but they were spotted together shopping at the Fashion Show Mall, as well as having dinner together at Cheesecake Factory in the Forum Shops. He added: "She also loved the idea that someone was impersonating her in the La Cage show. She felt very honored. "
Frank's photo of he and Anna Nicole from his own personal memory-album was taken at a private party at the Hard Rock Hotel in Las Vegas.
