Anna Nicole Driven by Ford in New Movie

Anna Nicole Smith may be in heaven, but she's also connecting with the stars, as in "Dancing With." Former contestant Willa Ford will play the sometimes lucid, sometimes not, former Playboy Playmate.
Anna Nicole Smith and Willa Ford
Ford has signed on to star in "Anna Nicole," and shooting begins next week. It's about Smith's rise from exotic dancer to reality-show-diet-spokesmodel stardom, from her late teens up until her death in February at age 39. Meanwhile, a thinly-veiled fictionalization of Smith on "Law & Order: Criminal Intent" will feature actress Kristy Swanson as an Anna-alike.

91. I FEEL SORRY FOR FOR ANNIE NICOLE. IT SEEMS LIKE SHE HAD A VERY LONELY CHILDHOOD. SHE MADE MANY MISTAKES WHICH IS SO SAD. PEOPLE TALK ABOUT HER GOING TO HEAVEN THE ONLY WAY SHE DID IS IF SHE ASK GOD TO FORGIVE HER BEFORE SHE PASSED AWAY. I SURE HOPE SHE DID. I THINK SHE HAD A GOOD HEART BUT SO MANY PEOPLE USED HER.

92. With all due respect to Tori, Reese Witherspoon has too much class to play such a role.

94. Who's benefiting from this movie. The Rotten guilty Stern? Hurry Larry & bring YOUR baby home to the USA. The actors in the movie look nothing like the real people.

95. Don't put that guy in the movie he is ugly and does not even resemble Larry and Larry is good looking .This guy looks like a geek

96. Willa's not a bad choice (that's a terrible picture of her that they provided) but Kristy Swanson would be PERFECT to play Anna.

BETTER PICTURES OF WILLA:

97. First of all, I totally agree with #15, the Londoner: Stupid Americans (and I am an American). We've heard enough about all of this already. Won't you let the woman just have some peace (no matter what she did with her life)? And Daniel? And everyone else involved? God, all of you are so petty, selfish, and way too absorbed in the lives of Hollywood people. Go find your own lives and get way from the TV and movies for a while. By commenting on whether there should be a movie or not just gives Hollywood all the more reason to do it. Why condone it by commenting on it? Besides that, the grammar and spelling on these comments are hideous sometimes. It's warping your brains!!!

There are so many more important things to worry about in our lives, and I'm just finally taking the opportunity to say it. Instead of worrying about Hollywood, let's worry about getting our troops home safely once and for all and preserving our own rights since our government is working on taking those away from us. I don't think anyone in this country is paying attention anymore.

Plus, I'm all for freedom of speech, but is it necessary to swear on these comment pages? It just makes the stupid Americans look even worse. Everyone needs to grow up and realize that there's a bigger world out there to worry about. If we made this much effort in saving our planet, for example, as we did in spouting about the entertainment industry, it'd be amazing as to how much we could save.

102. Ford Doesn't hold a candle to Anna Nicole.
aol had a few who could play Anna Nicole 1) Pam Anderson 2) Jenny McCarthy and someone else.
I thought Jenny mcCarthy could do it her light skin and charming smile and bubblie personailty could pull it off. I bet a make-up artist could re-create Anna Nicole by using Jenny McCarthy.

103. I agree with the comments that Anna was a beautiful woman and should be played by a beautiful woman. I think Kristy Swanson as Anna. I think you can find a better match for Larry maybe Jude Law.
