It is incredibly sad. She does seem so lost, so much like Marilyn Monroe. Almost like she re-created that painful kind of life for herself. I think she knows Larry is the dad; and once the court ordered that paternity testing must go forward, she felt trapped. With the loss of her son, (she even changed the baby girl's name from Hannah to Daniellyn to honor him), with maybe losing partial custody of Dani, and her fantasy life with Howard, with the Marshall estate not settled and the new TrimSpa lawsuit - and all that coupled with a history of drug dependence. How difficult it must have all felt to her. From the outside looking in, we see something different - she had a beautiful little girl, and her whole life ahead of her. But sometimes when you're sinking, it can seem like all too much.

Thank goodness Dannielyn is too young to know what the heck is going on right now. She won't need therapy at this point. There's still lots of hope for that child. I don't know...the more I consider this case, the more uneasy I get. We have, what, a $400 million fortune at stake. One person, a potential heir, dies. Then a second, leaving no heirs. The quick timing of these two deaths is far too close for my tastes. Foul play is not to be dismissed. People have done a lot worse for a lot less money.

I can sure see that. Just think her minions could have helped to create a more sane surrounding for her. And that includes her bio family who jumped in feet first the minute the news hit the wires, with her mom talking about all of HER losses and wanting to get her hands on the baby. And the prince, pfft. (I hope to high heaven she isn't his child)

It just makes me sick to hear her own mother badmouthing her on national TV. There's usually a very good reason why someone distances themselves from their family. I think it would be a travesty for that baby to go to Anna's family. The only thing they have ever wanted from Anna was money.

Three deaths! I forgot! Marshall's son, the one who wanted the money so badly, HE died too! E. Pierce Marshall, Daniel Smith, Anna Nicole Smith... does anyone find these to be a few deaths too many when you consider they were all jockeying for the Marshall fortune?

Not up on E. Pierce's cause of death, but Daniel and Anna were living high risk lives. However, there were some common threads, one being Howard.

It's definitely worth exploring, isn't it? If I were a detective, I know I would.

Something just smells about Howard K. What if, Howard K was in cahoots w/ the Marshall family. This has not been reported on any TV show, I just overheard this from a co worker. Things are just so crazy, that senario could not be ruled out.

WHO is caring for that baby now anyways? All I have heard is there is a caretaker and the baby is being well cared for.

From a really long AOL article, which may not work for some people
quote: The baby was being cared for in the Bahamas by the mother of Shane Gibson, the Bahamian immigration minister who is a close friend of Smith's, People magazine reported on its Web site, citing unidentified sources. A visibly shaken Gibson declined comment as he was leaving his office Thursday night, and he has not responded to several message left by the AP seeking comment.

But Ron Rale, the other lawyer, said on Larry King, that the baby is with Howard's family (mother and sister)!

An exerpt from Ted Casablanca's article today at E! All said, Ms. Es was a sweet gal surrounded by some folks and hangers-on who did not want the best for her. (Let's stay veddy closely tuned to Anna's moolah, post-autopsy, eh?) Of course, Anna's detractors would say the same about Smith's intentions for her second husband, right? So, perhaps karma's just a , like it always is.

Except I'd say she probably kept him alive and happy longer and he seemingly died happy, and she ended up with half a live and depressed and drugged and pulled and pushed at by all her hangers on.

Just another example that money, fame, and beauty do not equal happiness. In Anna Nicole's case, extreme money (I mean extreme!!!), extreme beauty, and arguably extreme fame (paparazzi everywhere--she couldn't leave her home) gave her extreme loneliness and pain. However I guess she didn't have access to all that money yet.

The baby needs a loving family. A hired nanny cannot possibly replace that.

There is still an inquest to be held on Daniel's death - it was scheduled for March. No idea if it will be postponed now, since Anna was supposed to be a witness.

they said it wasnt overdose since there wasnt much in her system...I am curious to find our what the cause of death was. My heart broke for her during those last ET interviews. She talked about Daniel comming to her in her dreams that he was lost....I wish they could have gotten her in touch with good medium, that might have put her mind at ease

Too sad how A. N. Smith in interviews said her heroine was Marilyn Monroe. Now she'll share the same ugly fate of a big celebrity blonde <57> who never had acting talent and died under age 40 in mysterious circumstances. Per Bermuda law the 'father' on baby birth cert is legal father and that is Mr. Stern. Whoever the heir guardian is they have a battle over the millions Smith was never able to collect as a widow besides what was set aside for her. The baby was born to a widow with no legal claim to Marshall estate beyond what her mother received. A. N. Smith's lawsuit for more of the Marshall estate can only be more shameful in people wasting money on behalf of an innocent infant of as yet unknown paternity. The poor child indeed. Best thing would be establish a happy home and grow up out of the scandals her mother and only brother started her off with in life. Little Danielle Lynn Hope will grow up so fearful enough she doesn't need her mommy's last advisors guiding her. She just needs to have a childhood and no high expetations. In 18 years her 'protectors' will be gone, with her rightful inheritance from Ms Smith in their pockets. Sad how this much unwanted fame a tragic death causes and gets too much news. Oh, 9 of our American troops died in Iraq today but this Playboy cover girl died so that's bigger news! People do not relate to 'war' casualties like the boy next door as to the gal in a magazine. Goody for them! Bless you and be well kept, Vicki Lynn Hogan...

Just a bit of a quibble, Riviere. Did you never see Marilyn play Sugar in 'Some Like It Hot'? No, talent. Wrong!)

Maris, she tore my heart out with her Roslyn. I think she let a lot of her real self show in that role.
