A Look Back At Anna Nicole Smith, One Year Later - Page 2
I was devastated when I heard Anna died. The world lost a person with a big heart. Anna would have wanted Dannielynn to do something outside the entertainment business - like invent something cool or work with underprivileged youth. Anna was sick of showbiz and once told me "I'd never want my kids to go through the b.s. I went through. If I had to do it all over I'd definitely work a different job."I had a tryst with Anna Nicole and became close friends with her. I was extremely saddened the way the media portrayed her when she died. She was the furthest thing from the drugged out, desperate woman they made her out to be. In fact, Anna was a very spiritual being and wanted to get away from Hollywood forever. That's why she moved to the Bahamas with Howard K. Stern, who she told me was the only person she ever trusted beside her son Daniel.
The last time I saw Anna we wrote some poetry together. She described Hollywood as being a town infested with "confused kids who have nothing better to do than fill their bodies with crack, smack and jack". She told me she wanted to join a religious or spiritual group and also wanted to get her body cleansed. Anna was one of the nicest, most sincere people I ever met.
It's sad that it took her death for a genuine portrayal of Anna to emerge. Beyond the characture of Anna as a ditsy, bubble-headed, bleach blonde; clearly a sensitive, kind-hearted and far more self-aware human lay beneath. What is also truly tragic about Anna's death, is that despite the grave warning the public received on the dangers of mixing prescriptions meds, the entertainment community lost yet another member with the death of Heath Ledger.
Let's make 2008 a tragedy-free year. This type of death is preventable, so let's exercise common sense Hollywood.
