Funny you should say that, I noticed over the years as time went by that some of her better photos are from that time period. Not just from the Playboy magazine cover, I'm also talking about the other photo shoots she had done. Even some of the photo's inside Playboy magazine were more glamourous and sexy, even if she was still clothed in many of them.
It appears that between 1992 and when she met Stern she may have been clean and sober.. and when she was cleaned up there isn't anyone who could have competed with her in the looks department. She looks so much like Jayne Mansfield in a lot of her pictures. I do see some Marilyn there, but more Jayne... almost like they could be long lost sisters (which I know they were not).
It's too bad that she didn't realize that under sexing herself, rather than flaunting it all, was the key. I always thought that Marilyn Monroe was much sexier than ANS, simply for that fact that Marilyn didn't shove it in our face. Marilyn had class. From what I have seen, ANS had none. She used a pretty face, and a fake body to get what she wanted. Tells a great story about our society as a whole doesn't it? That someone with a pretty face, and man made boobs, which were too big, makes headlines day, after day.
I hope that the paternity suit will be settled once and for all. And that the poor baby will at least have a chance at life.
As for HKS, I really don't know. I don't think he was responsible, but I don't know. Evil comes in many different disguises. To trick us all.
