ET’s Mark Steines spoke with Anna Nicole at her Bahamas home during her final interview, just days ago.
These past months, I have spent many, many hours speaking with ANNA NICOLE SMITH, dating back to my first interview on October 28, 2006. Despite the difficulties she was going through — despite the times I felt she was clearly physically and mentally broken, I never once believed I would ever utter the words, “Anna Nicole Smith has died,” as I did last night on Entertainment Tonight. I had just left the Bahamas, where an exhausted Anna graciously and happily showed us around the new home she was planning to move into with her baby DANNIELYNN and her soon-to-be husband HOWARD K. STERN. We sat down for another interview which would end in tears when the discussion turned to her late son, DANIEL. I once again came back to Hollywood thinking, someday this will all end for her and she will get the chance to move on. Clearly, I had no idea just how much pain this woman was in.
When the news broke of Anna’s death — I truly didn’t believe it. We were all quite literally crushed when we were told the news by people close to Anna. I immediately boarded a plane to Florida along with KHRISTINE EROSHEVICH, Anna’s close confidant, who got me up to speed on the last moments of Anna’s life. She told me who was there, what Howard was going through and why the paternity battle Anna had been suffering through was literally too much for her to bear. We arrived at 1 a.m., and I immediately began doing all the news shows — because we now had the last footage of Anna alive, and her very last interviews.
We taped our show from Florida today, and then I boarded another plane to the Bahamas to do more story gathering there. I can tell you that even now, Anna is being tormented in death, as her mother — a woman Anna despised and called evil — is on her way to the Bahamas to try to get baby Dannielynn. She is working with child custody services there. This is just about the last thing Anna would have wanted. The locks have now been changed on Anna’s home, and the cemetery where Daniel lies may soon have to welcome another member of the Smith family.
It seems this mother and child will be together again — and I can’t help but feel, that is truly the only thing Anna had wanted in recent days. ...”

Who was with Danny on the plane to the Bahamas?
KE filled him in on Anna's last moments? And she did that how?? She wasn't there. Just how long was Howard on the phone with her?
OMG! Thanks Rte!
I never got into ET much because .. it was stomach turning so unfortunately I tended to discount it early on. Glad you have this and shared it.
ET started the Virgie bash immediately. I think they are going to have problems with the lawsuit.
