Sally Kirkland: Anna's Implants Partly to Blame

Sally KirklandActress Sally Kirkland believes Anna Nicole Smith's breast implants played a significant part in her need for pain medication, and possibly her death. Sally nearly died from them herself.

Kirkland, a Best Actress Oscar nominee in 1988, told TMZ that she believes "Silicone played a part in the emotional and physical breakdown of Anna Nicole's body." Kirkland, who at one time had 38DD silicone breast implants, met Smith in 1992 when the two were "a similar size." Sally says she herself was poisoned by her leaking silicone implants, and had to take Vicodin and other pain medications to alleviate suffering from the crippling pain. Kirkland believes Anna was probably enduring the same ill effects -- the reason she needed methadone and Demerol prescriptions and "appeared out of it a lot of the time."

Now healthy and implant-free since 1998, Kirkland also feels that Anna "may not have consciously known the dangers" associated with silicone implants. In 2006, the FDA allowed silicone implants back on the market after a fourteen-year ban. Kirkland has been an anti-silicone activist for years, and hopes that Anna's tragic death is a wake-up call on the dangers of the implants.

31. So WHY did Daniel die?
HE didn't have implants.
WHO killed Daniel?
Can Mr. Stern tell us?

32. She died because of many years in starving her body of good and healthy things, and her lust for booze, drugs and too much stress on achieving wealth, fame and some kind of respect.

35. How the hell does this old hag know? Did she do the autopsy? Christ how many more hacks and attention seekers will run to the press like little school children about Anna?

36. Like I said in a post just after Anna died, it was obvious after watching a two hour special on her life, that the boob jobs played a SIGNIFICANT role in her drug use. Not having one myself, but those I know who have said it is extremely painful afterwards and if you have problems with them as Anna did, you are on pain meds for a long time and obviously she became an addict. I would like to think that common sense would make anyone get rid of the implants, however, the rather large boobs seemed to be her trademark, yet tragically it was what killed her. Obviously when pregnant she substituted her pill habit with Methadone (safer??). I am not a pharmacist, but good lord, I just could not imagine living my life on pills and/or substitute Methadone. Does one think that maybe HER thought was that since it was prescribed it was all okay (typical addict mentality)? Then there are her so called friends who were NOT addicts....why didn't they force her to rehab?? Where was Howard? How could he even CONDONE her behavior? Are we supposed to believe that it was simply "out of his hands" and she was going to do whatever she wanted? I myself would walk away from someone like that if there was absolutely no control. Methadone should NEVER be prescribed like antibiotics as it seems THAT is the way it is dispensed these days. Methadone should be given to those addicts in either a hospital OR rehab...not just to anyone out there in the world. What a tragic prescription!! The law should be changed on this. If you need methadone, you get it in a rehab facility...and NO WHERE ELSE.

37. Well, Nakita....if you had done any type of research or know anything at all about AKS, you would know she has had her implants for QUITE AWHILE!

Just a quick google and it pops up her first were in 1989 - long before silicone were known to cause problems. I said I believed this might be the issue for her taking pain medication a few days ago on another forum I belong to!!!

She didn't talk openly about her implants, when she talked openly about so many other things. Doesn't that tell anyone there might be something more to this???

I think this is a very plausible and maybe even highly probable reason for her pain medication use.

38. I do believe that she probably did have a serious infection. Possibly related to the breast implants. After having the baby she could have had complications from her breasts producing milk. That may have put some pressure on her implants and causes a leak. I still believe the drugs played a huge roll. If she indeed had a temp of 105 there was an infection some where in her body. She may have also had endometritis which is an infection of the inside lining of the uterus. That can occur after birth or a few months after. I think if she was given medical treatment the day before her death she could possibly still be alive.

May God Watch Over Dannilynn

39. Dear Lord, please forgive this sinners. Everyone wants to judge but you are the only true judge. I don't even know who this lady that posted this comment, but I am embarrassed by the sick individuals that place judgement on her. Dear Lord what has this world become. No one is judge of Anna, Sally or myself. Deal with them my Lord as you see fit. Excuse their ignorance as must as you can. I pray for them Lord even though I question they are worthy of prayer. Lord with all respect, kick ass and take names and remember who is worthy and who is evil.

40. Nakita, I was told you tits are lopesided, droop and look weak. You poor soul.

41. Get off your high horse everyone who dares to think you are better than anyone else. What have you done and what would make the Internet your worst nightmare?? Fortunately for us, yet unfortunately for you, you are more than likely, talentless, and we will probably never this type of controversy.

I am cheered though: This particular blog seems to have an exceptional amount of people that are open-minded....you never know!

42. Who gives a flying, faulty, leaky implant what this washed up old hose bag has to say? Someone please shove an implant down her throat.!

44. I THOUGHT THIS PIG WAS DEAD. IS SHE HOPING TO MAKE A COMEBACK BY BECOMING PART OF THE ANNA NICOLE SMITH CIRCUS?

45. Great theory Sally but what in the world are you basing your theory on??? Do you have proof her drug abuse was a result of complications from silicone implants? Do you have med reports or is this just irresponsible detective work and an opportunity to garner attention for yourself or your causes?
