Remembering Anna ... Naked

Playboy, responsible for shooting Anna Nicole Smith to fame, will pay tribute to the late Playmate in its May 2007 issue, which hits newsstands today.
Anna Nicole Smith
Anna, the May 1992 Playmate of the Month and 1993 Playmate of the Year is on the cover, and is the subject of a 10-page pictorial inside which, asserts Playboy, "showcases some of her most stunning Playboy photos from over the years." Translation: she ain't got no clothes on!

The "collector's edition" also features personal anecdotes and vignettes told by the Playboy editors, photographers, stylists and staffers. Playboy TV will honor Anna with "Playboy Remembers: Anna Nicole Smith," which premieres on April 11. And, to complete the homage, Playboy.com will post an exclusive video commentary from Hugh Hefner on the life and loss of Anna Nicole.

It's all the naked Anna you can handle.

47. WELL THE FACT THAT HEF KNEW ANS AND IS SADDEN BY ALL SHE WENT THROUGH IN NO WAY SHAPE OR FORM MALES HIM RESPONSIBLE FOR DANNIELYNN... NO ONE IS RESPONSIBLE FOR HER BUT HER DADDY... NO ONE SHOULD FEEL THEY OWE THE BABY ROYALTIES OR CONSIDERATION AS FAR AS MONEY IS CONCERNED... THAT WOULD TURN THE BABY INTO MINNIE ANS... GETTING MONEY SOLELY ON HER MOMS FACT THAT MANY WEALTHY KNEW HER... IF HEF NEVER DOES ANYTHING FOR THE CHILD THAT DOES NOT MEAN HES WRONG ITS JUST NOT HIS RESPONSIBILITY

48. I hope to hell HK$ is not getting a cent from this... I would think that Playboy owns the publishing rights to all the photos "they" took and paid her to model for. I would not think that they would have to pay her royalties for them unless that was included in her original contract. If they own the pictures and are publishing this as a news/tribute they may not have to give her estate anything. I wouldn't mind some of the profits going to Dannielynn but anythiing that "theoretically" goes to Dannielynn at this point is going into HK$' pocket. Maybe Hefner will set up a trust for Dannielynn with some of the profits to where HK$ cannot get his hands on it and she can have it when she grows up. But then money is not what Dannielynn needs, it's the love of her real family that she needs and a safe environment free from drugs, drug pushers, enablers and freeloaders -- not to mention killers!

50. Everyone else has capitalized on this story. Playboy is just taking its turn at making money off this sad story as everyone else is.

51. Great....the bad company she kept and got her on the road she traveled is cashing in on her again.

52. Good thing I don't read/look at Playboy. I have no interest in seeing the sad life of Anna.

I am surprised that I am reading this blog. I guess I am trying to see all I can about the future of the baby. That is all most people care about. Well almost, I care about the death of Daniel too. Such a sad story.

53. This is REALLY a sad state of affairs - now Hefner is making ######## off of Anna Nicole's death. You can bet they will sell every copy they have PLUS more! It's a shame there are so MANY vultures picking away at her bones - but of course, this is Capitialism. No one thinks of this innocent child, Dannielynn, and how all this is going to effect her as she grows up......very sad . Is she destined to walk in her mother's shadow for the rest of her life, and to be stigmatized that her mother's wealth came from her being naked and in being a high priced prostitute???? How tragic for this child.

DON'T YOU HAVE MORE THAN ENOUGH MONEY HEFNER????? YOU ARE A VERY GREEDY PERSON!!!

55. It's all so sad, she actually had a life before you know who (HK$) came into the picture.
She had a son, before you know who (HK$) came into the picture.
Please someone out there (courts, Larry not Virgie) get her other child before you know who (HK$) is still in the picture.

58. Watch HKS's army of lawyers go after playboy for a big share of profits. He'll huff and he'll puff trying to blow down the mansion.

59. In defense of Heffner, I have to say that it is he who is responsible for Anna's rise to fame. He paid her handsomely for the photos that his photographer took and he has the rights to them. It was her exposure in Playboy that led to her Guess jeans modeling contract, something she would never have landed had it not been for Playboy. He more than anyone has the right to publish a story about Anna, not ET... It was Playboy that made ANS. Heffner already paid her for these photos. - Heffner portrayed ANS with dignity and class. It wasn't until HK$ came along that she started being portrayed as a dufus, mouthy, low-life. That was $terns' doing. Heffner made ANS, HK$ destroyed ANS.

60. As a former employee of Hef's for many years. He's very very generous. I know He's waiting for this mess to clear up (HK$ out of the picture) Virgie go home and Baby and Daddy (Larry) go home and heal from this ordeal.
