Anna Nicole Smith, Seeking Justice #4
http://www.cosmeticsurgeryprocedure.com/
A recent medical study reported that there are more than 100,000 deaths each year caused by medical mistakes. ..... ....Other cosmetic surgery risks include post-surgery complications, infections and such associated with all surgeries, and more. The majority of people have successful procedures with no complications, but it is important that all potential patients learn as much about the procedure as possible, including each potential cosmetic surgery risk.
what I noticed is HKS was not her agent!
This would be the year Granoff filed a law suit in Oct.
It is also the year HKS started Hot Smoochie Lips.
HKS testified he met ans 1996 I thought? This would be 1997. And he switches from ‘most of it’ to LK’s prod of ‘all’ of it.
May of 2002 LKL
HOWARD STERN, ANNA NICOLE SMITH’S ATTORNEY: I’ve represented her for about five years, about five years.
KING: So, you’ve been with her through all of this...
STERN: Through a lot of this.
KING: ... all of this...
STERN: Yes.
ANNA WANTS.. lol except anna didn’t follow along this time! Truth was, HKS wanted it!
KING: You want to be a famous artist?
STERN: She was thinking about having an art opening.
KING: An art...
SMITH: I am not. He wants me to.
KING: Come on, you have...
STERN: I’m trying to get her to have one.
Sac,
Where are you reading it at?
I don’t understand, what do you mean because of LB? And Virgie might have a chance?
Larry already has access to monies "where Dannielynn is the prop".
Remember, the Ca judge said Virgie had to be notified about the probate.
I guess that I'm thinking it is not settled that Dannielynn is the sole heir...otherwise there would be no need for Howard to file the suit to have her declared as such.
Remember, there may have been $1,000,000 policies on Danny which we may not know about.
I believe "custody" of Dannielynn is not settled and we don't know why...or when it will be.
KE has remained elusive.
Larry.....Where are you?
Howard...Where are you?
Had she been talking "babies"? Would that spoil Howard's plan for control of Danny's funds?
Playboy
Late in 1991 Playboy’s Photography Department received a package from Texas: photos of a girl named Vickie Lynn Smith. She wanted to be a Playmate. The magazine’s photographers and editors, who get about 1,000 such submissions a year, were impressed enough to fly her to Los Angeles for a test shoot.
ARNY FREYTAG, Playboy Senior Contributing Photographer: I rejected her Playmate test. She had a great face, but she was overweight. I said she should lose a few pounds and maybe we’d test her again.
MARILYN GRABOWSKI, Playboy West Coast Photo Editor: And I said, “No way! She’s so pretty.” You couldn’t help being mesmerized.
FREYTAG: Marilyn said, “This girl has got to be a Playmate.”
GRABOWSKI: She was still Vickie then. She seemed shy, a sweet girl who wasn’t comfortable posing for nude photos. The moment we stopped snapping pictures, she’d grab a robe and cover up. As it turned out, she’d been a stripper back in Texas. So was that shyness a persona of hers? Was she faking it?
ALEXIS VOGEL, makeup artist: The photographers didn’t want to deal with her. They had beautiful girls going through there every day for Playmate tests, and this one was heavy. It would be hard work to drape her just right, hide the weight and get the perfect angle.
GRABOWSKI: She weighed 160 pounds. A tall girl, but still——
VOGEL: Still she had that incredible face. And being an exotic dancer helped her. She could really turn it on when she wanted to.
GARY COLE, Playboy Photography Director: Vickie was pretty unpolished. I met her at our Santa Monica studio, and the first thing she said was “I’m glad to be anywhere that isn’t Texas.” When we saw her pictures, we saw something special. It’s hard to say what makes a person photogenic. The stock answer is great bone structure, good skin, big eyes. She had all that plus something undefinable, a sort of camera charisma you can’t teach. As I was picking pictures for this month’s tribute to her, I went through a stack of black-and-white contact sheets, 36 exposures each, and couldn’t find one bad expression. She never blinked. She never looked goofy like the rest of us. That made it easy to edit her photos, because they all looked good. But at the same time it made it very hard to edit her photos, because you couldn’t run them all.
After an attention-grabbing debut as cover girl of the March 1992 Playboy, she made the Centerfold two months later. Signing her Data Sheet as Vickie Smith and claiming to weigh 140 pounds, Miss May listed a bold ambition: “I want to be the new Marilyn Monroe.”
GRABOWSKI: She felt a great affinity for Marilyn, the first Playboy Centerfold. While we were shooting she would put on Marilyn’s music to get in the mood, and she’d sing along. She had a high little voice like Marilyn’s but with a Texas twang.
HUGH M. HEFNER, Playboy Founder and Editor-in-Chief: Of course, Marilyn Monroe was the sex star of our times. The key to her iconic power was sexuality plus vulnerability.
BILL WHITE, Manager, Playboy Studio West: Marilyn Monroe didn’t make many records. We would rotate two CDs, playing an endless loop of “Diamonds Are a Girl’s Best Friend,” “Some Like It Hot” and a few others — show tunes that would drive you crazy after a few hours.
Anna was a wild one, five-foot-11 and physically strong. She’d wrestle with photo assistants. The photographer would take Polaroids, and we’d yank them from the camera and wait for them to develop. The photographer doesn’t want the model seeing the Polaroids before he does, but Anna would get you in a headlock and rip them right out of your hand. She’d say, “Hey, I look good!”
ELIZABETH NORRIS, former Playboy Director of Public Relations: We didn’t do a publicity tour when she was Miss May — frankly because she sounded silly. She talked like a baby. And I think she resented not getting that publicity tour. She was moody, very needy, expecting first-class treatment all the time.
But even without a publicity tour, Miss May was a hit. Soon she had a new title and a new name.
REG POTTERTON, Playboy writer: By then she was Anna Nicole, Playmate of the Year 1993. I was sent to interview her at the Drake Hotel in Chicago. I had to wake her up to do it — I arrived at noon. While I waited, I counted the room-service plates piled outside her room: seven of them. This was a hungry woman.
PETER MOORE, editor, Men’s Health: I was at Playboy then. I had just started editing Playmate stories and was fired up: “I’m going to bring real journalism to the girl copy!” I loved Reg’s bit about room-service plates. It said this girl had prodigious appetites — for food, sex, life. But when the magazine came out, she was furious. She thought we’d made her sound like some kind of Texas food compactor. I instantly called a florist and sent two dozen red roses with a note: “Anna Nicole, we didn’t mean anything bad. I completely appreciate all you do for Playboy.” Crisis averted. She liked the roses, and after that I was more careful.
NORRIS: Her Playmate of the Year tour was first-class all the way. She loved riding in limos and seeing all the cameras waiting for her. At her PMOY party in New York I said, “You should sit on the piano.” Of course she rolled around on the piano, and that went over very well with the press.

LA gave her the half mil in Sept 2000
July 2001 was when Wood took away her money award
In Sept. 2000, LA bankruptcy judge awarded Anna $449,754,134 from husband’s estate. But in July 2001, Houston judge Mike Wood vacated that award and ordered her to pay over $1 million in fees and expenses to stepson E. Pierce Marshall’s team.
This site began as a conservative Republican political forum, and the creator, Jim Robinson, has generously allowed expansion to other areas of chatrooms.
I don't read your tripe - you don't write or spell that well. And I'm not the only freeper here who thinks the same; in fact, I've had freepmails that call you rude and obnoxious.
I drink tea, Lipton's with sugar and lemon, but it's always a tip-off when a poster resorts to insulting accusations.
I do think you are either Sherl or JG.
Rita’s book,
Harding at 74 years old was called by Daniel in aug.,Daniel kept looking out the window,he was worried someone would follow him.Daniel who is dead told Jack Harding about a dream.His mom was in a coffin.he asked Harding to investigate what howard and k stern were doing to his mom and people around her.Per Rita’s book.
Lakey, I think you need to back off. We’ve had a pleasant time here on this thread for the most part. You have injected some uncalled for personal remarks which caused Nature to get her back up. You are both feisty ladies who don’t back away when riled. Yet I cannot see why you took the tone that you did with her a couple days ago. This is not personal, we are sharing knowledge and cybersleuthing together. Yes, it’s not about politics, but FR has never been just about politics almost from the beginning of 1998 when I started lurking. Now back to business.
The NY Times article above said that Buford’s ruling was akin to a “death sentence” in the legal world. A law professor is quoted stating that Buford’s ruling is highly unusual considering the fact that it sends the case back to Texas with a tremendous advantage for ANS. Fortunately it was quickly slapped down.
And wasn’t the document in question the one HKS pilfered from the opponent’s desk at the trial in Texas? That caused the Texas Judge to declare HKS should be disbarred?
You raise a very good question. Was there a prior connection between HKS/his law firm and Judge Buford? How deep does this corruption go?
Sac, I read the lengthy account of the Houston trial that you posted tonight. It paints a picture of a ruthless grifter with big dreams, a larger than life personality and beauty, a kind heart toward some and little impulse control or commitment to the truth.
I agree with Doris that everyone should read at least some of this account of the legal battle between Pierce Marshall and ANS. I vaguely remember at the time that she seemed ignorant and a bit conniving. And concluding that Pierce Marshall probably wasn’t such a nice man. It’s clear from this account that Pierce Marshall was totally innocent, but simply stood between ANS and his father’s millions.
And that is what is so disturbing. ANS was capable of creating chaos and pain in people’s lives just to get what she wanted. And she met her mirror image in HKS, only he possessed the self-restraint she lacked. In the end, whatever she did to that old man and his children, HKS gave it back to her, only more deadly. I’m not saying she got what she deserved. Just that she is solely responsible for her fate, I guess as we all are.
Daniel is the real victim in this story. I’m not sure if his death was murder, suicide or accidental. I hope we find out someday. There are only two clear bits of evidence that point to murder: the private detective’s testimony, if true; and what he said to Ray Martino, “don’t leave me there”, if true. With all the lies told, the obfuscation, the missing pieces of information, will we ever know the answer? Will Howard get away with it all? I’m not sure I care what happens to him anymore. I think he is already getting the punishment he deserves, namely having to live with himself.
My interest is this case. Many here share my interest. To them I apologize for the interruption.
Admittedly, I do not write or spell well. I am more aware of it than anyone! I do the best I can with the cells that are left and I am very grateful for them. I know it can be frustrating. It is probably best you skip my posts all together. It isn’t likely to improve at this stage. In the end, it isn’t what we have lost but what remains that is our blessings. Life is a gift, not a contest.
You have surmised wrong; I don’t know any “Sheyl or JG”, on or off this board.
LOL, at my age dear, just about everything is ‘trite’. I noticed you favor this nonpolitical topic yourself. Most of your recent posts land here. You posted to me, I replied thinking your interest sincere. I was wrong. It won’t happen again.
thanks very much for finding that!
from your cite:
Dec 19th, ‘01 - “Howard Junior stuck a knife through the heart of Vickie Lynn Marshall’s (stage name Anna Nicole Smith) case today when he told jurors that his father’s MPI stock “came out of his father’s first marriage and was his father’s separate property.” A surprised defense attorney Rusty Hardin drove the point home for the jury adding, “As of June 26, 1994 everything your father owned was his separate property as it applied to anyone he married on June 27, 1994?”
“...Vickie’s attorneys don’t want jurors to hear about the fact that Howard Senior’s MPI stock was his separate property because that means Vickie >>isn’t entitled to inherit it << since it was not part of the community property in their marriage.
“Attorneys for defendant Pierce Marshall contend that the MPI stock...was his separate property dating back to the time of his divorce from his first wife in the 1960s and was never community property during his marriage to Vickie. >>That takes a huge amount of money off the table since MPI stock made up the majority of Howard Senior’s wealth. “<<
again, using your cite: [wonder what happened to CV?]
Feb 12th, ‘01 - “Vickie received shares in a corporation set up in her name as well as the $6.6 million...
Feb 19th, ‘01 - “Attorney Jeff Townsend provided billing records to show that he met with a number of attorneys regarding a company Howard Senior set up to benefit Vickie.
“Vickie denied being aware of the company’s existence and denied knowing some of the attorneys who said they represented her in the negotiations. The company was designed to promote Vickie’s career and was funded with millions of dollars by her late husband.
“Vickie, however, never agreed to go along with the arrangement that was designed to provide for her long term economic support.
Feb 21st, ‘01 - “Scurlock told jurors Vickie was not telling the truth when she testified she had never heard of Compaignie Victoire, a corporation Howard Senior created to provide long term support for Vickie. Vickie told jurors she never refused to come to Marshall’s office. Scurlock said she constantly declined to come to meetings involving Compaignie Victoire. Jurors have heard that Howard Senior planned to use Compaignie Victoire as a way to provide long term security for Vickie, but Vickie did not seem to understand the concept of the corporation and would not sign the agreement.
Would this have wrecked "her fraudulent bankruptcy case?"
Would this have prevented her from going after "the whole ball of wax"?
Would her shares go to Marshall's son upon her death?
She didn't all of a sudden get brilliant and not sign...It had to be HOWARD who told her not to sign.
more from your cite:
Jan 30th, ‘01 - “Attorney Rusty Hardin pressed Vickie on how she lost $4 million in jewelry.
“She admitted being drunk and waking up to find the jewelry missing. Her bodyguard, a convicted felon, told police he had the jewelry, but >>it was never recovered<<.
Feb 12th, ‘01 - “Within a few days of her husband’s death, Vickie told the court that her debts included a $350,000 lien on the California home Howard Senior purchased for her in cash. Vickie said she owned >>nine lawyers or law firms<< another $350,000. What about the millions of dollars of jewelry Vickie received? “I don’t have my jewelry, my jewelry is all gone,” Vickie told the jury. The 1995 affidavit offered this explanation as to why she doesn’t have it anymore:
“Although it is commonly known that my husband gave me a large amount of jewelry that cost him several million dollars, all of this jewelry has been stolen from me >>over the past 18 months,<< I suspect by relatives, former bodyguards, former friends, and my son’s former nanny...”
Feb 13th, ‘01 - “Jurors saw dozens of canceled checks >>made out to cash<< for tens of thousands of dollars...Vickie told the jury she had >>at least four other people << who were allowed to sign her checks and >>didn’t always know what the money was being used for<<<... “my assistants pay my bills. I didn’t do anything with them, I had people taking care of me.” At one point Vickie told the court that she found an old check from a talent agency for $27,000 stuck in her fan mail.
Feb 01, ‘01 -= Smith >>appeared especially shaken when she was shown an affidavit with her signature<< that was used to make a $450,000 “home improvement loan” on the house J. Howard Marshall purchased for her in California. Her signature attested that she bought and maintained the house with her own money. Smith has testified J. Howard bought and paid to maintain the home. Smith then continued her pattern of outrageous statements by >>implying that Hardin fabricated the affidavit<<.
“Do you understand what perjury is?” asked Hardin, pointing out that >>Smith’s own attorneys had provided the document<< she was questioning.
Feb 13th, ‘01 - Tuesday - “Vickie told her lawyer, “I just want to go home. I don’t belong here, I just want to go home.”
from what i’ve seen, howie has given her consistently bad advice in just about every area of her life since the day he wormed his way into her life.
and according to the link you posted, it seems to This layperson, that Anna was never entitled to any shares that Marshall owned/possessed as ‘separate property’, except, the shares assigned to her in this curious company Compaignie Victoria whatever, that Anna would not sign agreements regarding.
interesting that ANS had several hundred thousand in bank accounts at the time she was claiming that her lights were turned off and she was bankrupt. We should all be so lucky!
It also reminded me of the so called "gift" called "The Horizons. She just lies her head off...but remember, there is someone in the background telling her "how to lie" and what to say.
The jewelry...Have already said that's been hocked in NYC by Howard...a long time ago.
Some of the best stuff is now traceable because they are engraved with numbers. Since most of the jewelry was from Harry Winston and Nieman Marcus, I'd bet it carries the numbers.
Always wondered what happened to the 10K bauble she had when she "married" Howard.
Ah...he claimed it because he gave it to her...except it was HER money that bought it. And where do you get a 10K bauble on very...very short notice??...and pay for it??
Remember, on the stand, Larry said Anna wanted a 10K bauble...but it would have been BEFORE she left for the Bahama and a 10K bauble was an "unknown" then.
Anna never mentioned even a thought of marriage to Larry to anyone. She more or less vowed never to marry again. Larry really screwed up on that one.
