==Anna Nicole Smith== ''I will call her'' '''Vickie''' ''until her career starts, then I will start calling her'' '''Anna'''. Anna was born as '''Vickie Lynn Hogan''' in Houston, [[Harris County, Texas|Harris County]], [[Texas]], on 28 Nov 1967. The only child of the union of [[#Donald Eugene Hogan|Donald Eugene Hogan]] (born 12 July 1947) and [[#Virgie Mae Tabers|Virgie Mae Tabers]] (born 12 July 1951), who had married on 22 Feb 1967. (Virgie had a previous child, David Luther Tacker, Jr., born 1966). Donald pled guilty to charges of statutory rape of Virgie's ten-year-old sister Kay and another underage girl. For this, Donald spent six months in jail and then was put on ten-years probation. Virgie and he divorced 4 Nov 1969. Donald remarried Wanda Atkinson and had more children including a daughter Donna Hogan who wrote a book ''Train Wreck'' about the entire family, but mostly about Vickie. Vickie's half-sister Donna Hogan states that Donald was violent with his wife and children, from each marriage, and was also an alcoholic. Virgie next, sometime between 1969 and 1971, married Donald Hart who brought two previous children into the relationship: Shauna and Robert. Virgie and Donald also had a child together, Donald "Dino" Hart, Jr. Vickie was thus raised as the middle-child in a family of five children: David, Shauna, Vickie, Robert and Donald. <table><tr><td> Growing up Vickie was estranged from her father and his new wife. It's not clear that she ever had much contact with them and their children until much later in her own life. That she did eventually have contact is made clear in her half-sister Donna Hogan's book. That this contact was sporadic and embittered is also made clear. Donna Hogan states that she knew that she had a half-sister, and that she, Donna, was envious of Vickie's life which seemed much more stable than her own. Vickie married first in 1985, at age 17 to Billy Wayne Smith, age 16 in [[Limestone County, Texas]]. Vickie had dropped out of school in the tenth grade, and they had met while both were working at Jim's Krispy Fried Chicken in Mexia, Limestone County, Texas. They had one child, a son Daniel Wayne Smith on 22 Jan 1986. Vickie was hospitalized for a drug overdose in 1986. She and Billy separated in 1987. In her half-sister Donna Hogan's book, it is stated that they divorced in 1987, but this is a misunderstanding. They separated, but did not divorce until 1993 as shown by the ''Texas Divorce Index''. Vickie also worked at one time as a cashier at Walmart. </td> <td> http://img2.timeinc.net/people/i/2007/gallery/anna_nicole/anna_nicole02_300.jpg</td></tr><tr><td></td><td>Billy and Vickie (Credit: Splash News)</td></tr></table> She found she could make money stripping, and started working at Rick's Plaza, a gentleman's club in Houston, but he would only let her work during the slower periods. Saving up her money, she then had cosmetic surgery and breast implants. <table><tr><td> "...she entered the Playboy Cover Contest and, at the age of twenty-four, she won. In May 1992, the dream continued when she was named Playmate of the Month and in 1993, she was crowned Playmate of the Year." (''Train Wreck'', p vi). While she was stripping, she had met "billionaire" James Howard Marshall II, a lawyer and oil-industry executive, and they ended up getting married, on 26 Jun 1994 in [[Harris County, Texas]]. He died aged 90, at Park Plaza Hospital in Houston, in Aug 1995 when his obituary appeared in the ''New York Times''. His estate was there stated to be valued at $550 million. Anna had a television show called the ''Anna Nicole Smith Show'' which debuted in 2002 on E! Entertainment Television, on which, at some time, her lawyer and later boyfriend Howard K. Stern became a co-star. The show was cancelled in 2004. Anna had a girl Dannielynn Hope Marshall Stern born 7 Sep 2006 in Nassau, Bahamas. Her son Daniel died 10 Sep 2006, while visiting Anna in the hospital where she'd just given birth. On 28 Sep 2006, she and Howard K Stern exchanged vows in an informal wedding ceremony. </td><td>http://www.popstarsplus.com/images/AnnaNicoleSmithPicture.jpg</td></tr></table> <table><tr><td>http://www.babble.com/CS/blogs/famecrawler/2008/01/08-15/293_birkhead_larry_071307.jpg</td><td>After a paternity test, it was determined that the father was her ex-boyfriend, entertainment photojournalist Larry Birkhead, who is also the guardian of the child, while the boyfriend she had had at her death, who was also her lawyer, Howard K. Stern, is the administrator or executor of her estate. She died in Hollywood, Broward County, [[Florida]] on 8 Feb 2007. Although she died with a will, it did not name her baby girl, so it's possible that it was set aside. The baby girl would stand to inherit Anna's entire estate, which doesn't amount to much aside from her interest in the J H Marshall II estate which is still being litigated. US Magazine reported in March 2009 that California Attorney General Jerry Brown has now stated that Howard K. Stern was "the principal enabler" in providing Anna Nicole Smith with thousands of prescription pills that led to her 2007 death (see [http://www.usmagazine.com/news/howard-k-stern-was-principal-enabler-in-giving-anna-nicole-drugs-2009133?utm_source=newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=daily]). Stern, 40, along with Dr. Sandeep Kapoor, 40, have been named as co-conspirators and surrendered to police and Dr. Khristine Eroshevich, 61 the third named will surrender shortly, states the article.</td></tr></table> ===Primary documents for 1=== *[http://search.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/sse.dll?indiv=1&db=TXbirthindex%2c&_8000C002=&_8000C003=Hogan&_80004002=Vickie&_80004003=Hogan&_80008002=&_80008003=&gsby=&gsb1co=1%2cAll+Countries&gsb1pl=1%2c+&gsdy=&gsd1co=1%2cAll+Countries&gsd1pl=1%2c+&sbo=0&ufr=0&prox=1&ti=0&ti.si=0&gss=angs-d&o_iid=21416&o_lid=21416&o_it=20964&rank=0&srchb=r&fh=7&recid=7604973&recoff=1+3 Texas Birth Index 1903-1997] showing "Vickie Lynn Hogan, born 28 Nov 1967, Harris County, Father Donald Eugene Hogan, Mother Virgie Mae Tabers" *[http://search.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/sse.dll?indiv=1&db=TXmarriageindex%2c&_8000C002=&_8000C003=Hogan&_80004002=Vickie&_80004003=Hogan&_80008002=&_80008003=&gsby=&gsb1co=1%2cAll+Countries&gsb1pl=1%2c+&gsdy=&gsd1co=1%2cAll+Countries&gsd1pl=1%2c+&sbo=0&ufr=0&prox=1&ti=0&ti.si=0&gss=angs-d&o_iid=21416&o_lid=21416&o_it=20964&rank=0&srchb=r&fh=5&recid=5289067&recoff=1+3 Texas Marriage Index 1966-2002] showing "Vickie L Hogan, age 17, to Billy W Smith, age 16, married 4 Apr 1985, Limestone County, Texas *[http://search.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/sse.dll?indiv=1&rank=0&f4=Vickie&f3=Smith&sx=&f25=&rg_f7__date=1967&rs_f7__date=2&f10=&f9=&rg_f13__date=&rs_f13__date=0&f16=&f17=&rg_f18__date=&rs_f18__date=0&f20=&f21=&rg_f22__date=&rs_f22__date=0&gskw=&prox=1&db=txdivorceindex&ti=0&ti.si=0&gss=angs-d&fh=6&recid=2472427&recoff=1+3+27 Texas Divorce Index 1968-2002] showing "Vickie L, age 24, from Billy W Smith, age 24, married on 3 Apr 1985, divorced on 3 Feb 1993 Harris County, Texas *[http://search.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/sse.dll?indiv=1&db=TXmarriageindex%2c&_8000C002=&_8000C003=Hogan&_80004002=Vickie&_80004003=Hogan&_80008002=&_80008003=&gsby=&gsb1co=1%2cAll+Countries&gsb1pl=1%2c+&gsdy=&gsd1co=1%2cAll+Countries&gsd1pl=1%2c+&sbo=0&ufr=0&prox=1&ti=0&ti.si=0&gss=angs-d&o_iid=21416&o_lid=21416&o_it=20964&rank=0&srchb=r&fh=7&recid=5289069&recoff=1+3 Texas Marriage Index 1966-2002] showing "Vickie L Hogan, age 26, to J H Marshall II, age 89 on 26 Jun 1994, Harris County, Texas *[http://news.findlaw.com/hdocs/docs/annanicole/annanicole73001will4.html Her will] hosted at findlaw.com *[http://www.scaredmonkeys.com/2007/03/01/what-now-in-the-bahamas-billy-wayne-smith-hires-attorney-to-exhume-his-sons-body/ Billy Smith] files suit to request exhumation of his son Daniel as related on scaredmonkeys ===Secondary Sources for 1=== *[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anna_Nichole_Smith "Anna Nichole Smith"] at Wikipedia *[http://www.wargs.com/other/hogan.html "Ancestry of Anna Nicole Smith", compiled by Julie Helen Otto], hosted at William Addams Reitwiesner's site *[http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1597775401/102-9279843-7223326?ie=UTF8&tag=countyh-20&linkCode=xm2&camp=1789&creativeASIN=1597775401 ''Train Wreck: The Life and Death of Anna Nicole Smith''], by Donna Hogan, as told to Henrietta Tiefenthaler.
