I can't decide whether to laugh or cry.

It depends on which pic of her youre looking at.

On Tuesday, Smith, also known as Vickie Lynn Marshall, the waitress-turned-stripper from Mexia who dreamed of becoming the next Marilyn Monroe, heads to the U.S. Supreme Court.

Refresh to watch her grow

I find it odd that we've got pics posted already yet none of the poor widow.

Smith met Marshall in 1991 at a Houston gentlemen's club where she was working as a topless dancer.

Were there any gentlemen in that room?

Ah yes, a classic case of "The Sanctity of Marriage" vs. "The Shameless Gold-Digger".

We know what is behind this, of course, but do we dare overturn matrimonial rights and rights of widows ?

For a lot of legal reasons this is a compelling case, and the celeb value just adds the popcorn to the show.

The marriage ended with Marshall's death from pneumonia 14 months later.....

Smith had filed for bankruptcy in a California court that took it upon itself to decide some matters relating to Marshall's estate. That court awarded Smith $475 million.

What was a California court doing even taking a bankruptcy case that involved an unsettled probate case of a Texas estate? And how does a bankruptcy court award her $475 million that isn't even hers to declare bankruptcy on?

She's arguably the least attractive Playmate ever. I'll take Alesha Oreskovich or Alicia Rickter over her any day of the week thankyouverymuch. Heck, Bettie Page (Miss January 1955) is in her mid-seventies, and is still much more attractive now then Smith ever was.

I am an Actress, I have had my own show, you know, ‘The Anna Nicole Show’ ...

The capitalized Actress is a nice touch.
