Before start,I'd appreciate if everyone can remember that despite some of the not to pleasant things associated with her,she was first and foremost a human being like the rest of us.

I came from IMDB moments ago and their headline showed that former Playboy centerfold,reality show actress and infamous celebrity Anna Nicole Smith has suddenly died at the age of 39.

As most know Smith shot to fame in 1994 after posing in the pages Of Playboy. She then became quite a questionable figure in marrying a man nealry 3 times her age,a millionare.

She then after many court trials regarding the man's family and his will,hit the airwaves with her own reality show watched by,amazingly,millions of people.

In recent times her oldest son has died and only weeks later she had gotten married. She herself had been having some mysterious health problems.
Now,it seems those health problems have taken her away.

I am sad at her loss only for the simple reason that she was another fellow human being on this planet with us. The sadder thing though is she was a woman who idolized Marylin Monroe and much like her,has left us early.

I only hope that in this case people just let her memory be just that and don't turn her into some kind of icon. I can hope that but I know it wont be so.

She always seemed behind that smile to be a toubled figure but now,all of those troubles are over for her. One can only guess that she never really came to terms with who she is as a person.

Something people can take from this is that,maybe the times for making a person out to be more than they are,in the world of show busines & fame are passed.

For what it's worth,she was a beutiful sight to behold in 1994,which should have been more than enough. I do bid her to rest in peace,as I would anyone.
