Warhol-esque
Anna Nicole Smith
I learned about her sudden death an hour after her body had been found. I couldn’t help but wonder at how her life followed a similar pattern as others like her.
I remember the death of Marilyn Monroe…yep, and Jayne Mansfield, and Sharon Tate. Now this woman joins their ranks.
Anna Nicole often remided me of one of Warhol’s superstars from The Factory. Smith’s fame was bigger however.
Looking for a photo to use, I discovered she mostly did Playboy type stuff. She essentially had no talent, although she married rich.
Her son died tragically not too long ago. Those closest to her said she never got over it. She was quoted as saying she hoped he was in purgatory now.
Sex, drugs, Music Awards - it’s so classic to our times. With the court battles over money, big money, she attained fame for doing nothing.
Reports are, today’s youth just want to be rich and famous - these are their goals in life. Young bloggers are mourning this woman’s death, expressing love and sympathy.
I feel sad for her as well. A tragic end to a tragic life.
It’s a curious phenomenon.

It is quite interesting that she mentioned “purgatory.”
Other than the Roman Catholic Church and High Church Episcopal, are their other Christian churches that believe in Purgatory? I don’t think so.
This may be testimony to a Catholic evangelist.

She didn’t live long enough to “get over” her son’s very sudden death.
It really is heartbreaking; here was his daughter of God who threw her life into pornography and decadence; yet she wasn’t happy. It was written all over her. This was not a happy woman.
I pray that she met Jesus and ran into His merciful arms. There is no doubt she was beloved of God; God is always tender towards the afflicted, and she was nothing if not afflicted.

Her son died right after her daughter was born - & so far three men are claiming paternity.
Aren’t both deaths being investigated as possible homicides?

There’s an awful lot of money at stake to be inherited by this infant.
You can bet that there will be more paternity claimants before the court decides who is to be the father and get control over that money.

I believe Anna Nicole was a bit different from Monroe and Mansfield. They were both actresses, etc…they had talent at something other than clothing removal. Anna Nicole was famous for being famous. Nothing less, nothing more.
