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.

46. ANY surgery carries risk of infection! And a high fever indicates infection! Yes getting fake boobs means anesthesia, and that is the highest risk of ANY surgery! So it's actually quite likely ANS had an infection, and that might be a contributor to her death if not treated, which it was NOT.

48. medical examiner didn't find any infection or inflamation, so that's not why she died, she and her son died because Stern wanted control of her money.

49. I don't know about Sally and intially I thought ole' Howie was alright but the more I observe this melee' the more it looks as though he did the son in and then Anna after all she was so distraught anyone would naturally take her death as grief related whether she OD'd or not. The perfect crime and well thought out. Who is Howard we know about Anna but I'd like to know about him...one thing is sure he is a contoller and manipulative and maybe sociopath. Baby girl was not listed in the will because Anna was too traumatized to add her and regardless of DNA Bahama law says she's legally Howards....it ain't over by a long shot. Thanks

50. People with addictions you can not help they need and want to help themselves as much as everyone wants to point the finger at HKS for them taking drugs. Get over it!

52. We have heard rumors of Anna having her implants repaired after the birth, but I am not sure whether that may not just be a rumor. When and where did she have them done? What doctor, what date? There are no reports confirming this.
---------------------

cnn said that they were repaired right after she gave birth. and they gave her more pain killers. when her son passed away she took so many of them that she commited suicide.

what other reason would there be? it cant be an accident. she was planning her own funeral. she already had a dress in the making.

53. yea im so sure that stern made her take all those pills and do all that methadone, and then tell her to plan her own funeral because he was going to force her to overdose.

im oh so sure of that -_-

the doctor did find inflamation by her heart. he said it looks unusual and he was going to look into it and start to do tests on that area.

it is possible that her implants played a roll. maybe thats how she got started on the pills in the first place. she couldnt of had her implant surgery just once. that was like a series of surgerys since you have to gradually stretch your muscles in your breast.

each time she got them done and she ran out of medication, she probably went to her doctor in cali who got her the methadone. and he got more pills for her.

54. Isn't it amazing how this whole Anna Nicole Smith thing has really brought all the OLD WACKOS out? I mean first Prince (yeah, right!) Frederick von Anhalt and now Sally Kirkland (Sally WHO?).
It's said how these types of people will do and say ANYTHING just to have attention paid to them.

55. and another has-been jumps on the publicity bandwagon. this is disgusting.

56. sally is most likely correct as I myself had these implants in my jaws and they break down and poison your entire system and you do suffer a lot of pain and I can imagine breast implants would affect your whole body as well if TMJ implants do than so do breast implants and Anna's were replaced many times because of leakage!

57. The breasts didn't kill her it was the beast and his name is Howard and he is greedy and cold and deliberate and he just might get away with this...I hope not.

58. OPEN LETTER TO VERGIE ARTHUR

VERGIE, WHAT WERE YOU THINKING?? CERTAINLY NOT ABOUT ANNA!!!!
If Vergie really loved her daughter and was REALLY broken up over Anna's death, her first stop should have been to Florida to see Anna. Everything else could have waited. BUT NO, she was hopping all over the globe, all the while giving interviews that cast a bad light on her daughter. What kind of mother does that?????
She is a horrible person. Chasing the money trail!!! Chasing the baby?
If she had claimed Anna's body right away (like she should have) then this media circus may not have happened. I have been to the coroner's office and paid respects to Anna, leaving some mementos for Valentines Day. It's not a pretty sight, but at least it's something.
I started a small memorial to Anna next to a tree at the Medical Examiner’s office in Broward County, Florida, on the night she died.
Let me tell you, it's not a pretty sight, but it is all we are allowed. All around the tree is muddy and dirty. Our memento's get stepped on and trashed There are some posters to Anna, some large teddy bears, candles and other assorted trinkets. No matter what Anna died from, no matter how she lived her life, I truly believe she is in more pain because of this disgusting exit, instead of a beautiful tribute to celebrate her life, and then an incredible comforting funeral. It could have been avoided!!! Her mother should have gone to Anna first, but NO......it took, well, she hasn't gone there yet. Should Vergie get control of Anna's body for burial, there are approx 50 of us that will protest. No way in hell should this woman, who has yet to say anything good about Anna in the media, or any other means, by the way, should be in charge of how Anna leaves this world.
Vergie hasn’t seen Anna since 1995, 12 friggin years!!!!!!
Anna belongs in the Bahamas, next to Daniel, and Danny Lynn belongs with Howard. The funny thing is that I was never a true fan of Anna's before. But to see this tragedy with her body, and the rest of the circus, breaks my heart, along with millions of others. There is no dignity in this circus her MOTHER created. Is it no wonder why Anna hated her "birth" mother? Anna put it best.
"Bring it on, MOMMIE DEAREST!!"
Anna, please rest, peace is on its way!
You have taught us all many lessons in this time of your death.
You will be with the Angels and Heavens you deserve soon!

Vergie, do the right thing, if you truly love your daughter,
“LEAVE ANNA ALONE, LET HER REST IN PEACE”

59. Bravo to Sally Kirkland for warning women that their breast implants can and do cause serious health problems.

I head an international support group and although none has the fame of Anna Nicole or Sally, they certainly share many of their breast implant related complications.

May Anna Nicole rest in peace.
