Anna Nicole Smith died of an accidental overdose in February in Hollywood, Florida. Chloral hydrate, a sleeping medication was found in her system. Of course, that same medicine was also found in the system of Anna Nicole’s idol, Marilyn Monroe, upon her death. According to a report from nightly entertainment news show Access Hollywood in their new collector’s issue “Anna Nicole: The Playboy Years,” which is on newsstands now, the magazine’s staff and contributors shared candid memories of the late model including near death experiences, and all around bizarre behavior.

She almost died in 1993,” Grabowski said. “I called her and she was slurring her words. ‘I’m in the Jacuzzi,’ she said. The phone went dead.” The report from Access noted that Bill White, Manager of Playboy Studio West reported Anna Nicole had been drinking too. After they were unable to reach Smith on the phone, White drove to her house.
“The place was sparsely furnished with pictures of Anna and Monroe on the walls. And out in the Jacuzzi I found Anna, naked, humming along with Marilyn. There was a wine bottle three-quarters empty nearby . . . The maid said she had been in there all morning. We got her out, and it wasn’t easy,” White said.

“Anna Nicole: The Playboy Years” is on newsstands now. A program, “Playboy Remembers: Anna Nicole Smith” premieres on Playboy TV April 11.

Anna Nicole’s Sister Speaks For First Time
(CBS News) Donna Hogan, the sister of Anna Nicole Smith, promises an inside look at the life of her late sister in her new book, “Train Wreck: The Life and Death of Anna Nicole Smith,” which hits bookstores Tuesday.
Hogan will sit down with The Early Show’s Hannah Storm on Tuesday and Wednesday in what will be her first interview since her sister died Feb. 8 at the age of 39 of an accidental overdose.
Hogan will discuss her unauthorized biography and the paternity battle over the former playmate’s infant daughter, Dannielynn, in the two-part interview.
The father of the baby girl could be revealed during a court hearing in the Bahamas on Tuesday. Smith’s lawyer-companion Howard K. Stern and ex-boyfriend Larry Birkhead both claim to be the baby’s father.
A lawyer for Birkhead said last week that his client’s custody challenge appears to be going in his favor.
In her new book, which was written with cooperation from writer Henrietta Tiefenthaler, Hogan describes Smith — or Vicki Lynn Hogan as she was known to her family members — as an in-your-face symbol of the age.
The book tracks their dysfunctional, dirt-poor family and Smith’s determination to claw her way to the top of the celebrity heap.
