Music boss buys Anna Nicole diaries - April 26 2007
An unnamed recording company executive from Dallas bought two diaries written by Anna Nicole Smith in the early 1990s for 59,750 US dollars (almost £30,000), an auction house said.
The move came after they failed to sell at a recent auction, said Doug Norwine, director of music and entertainment memorabilia of Heritage Auction Galleries of
They were put up for sale a minimum bid of 25,000 dollars (£12,500) each, and two people expressed interest in buying them, he said.

The auction house obtained the journals and other items from an anonymous German businessman who purchased them on eBay for more than 500,000 dollars (£250,000) several weeks ago. He decided to auction the diaries after securing the publishing rights, Norwine said.
Smith’s lawyer-turned-partner, Howard K Stern, has alleged that the diaries had been stolen and should be returned to her estate.

Although she had aspirations to become ’the next Marilyn Monroe’, Vickie began working at Jim’s Krispy Fried Chicken where she met her first husband, Billy Wayne Smith. They married when Vickie was just seventeen. The next year she gave birth to their son Daniel and in 1987 seperated from her husband, finding work as an exotic dancer in Houston.
Whilst working as a stripper she met elderly millionaire J. Howard Marshall, with whom she began a relationship despite the sixty three year age gap. In 1994 the couple married amid much tabloid excitement. Marshall died thirteen months later, leaving nothing to his young wife.
In the interim Vickie, now going by the name Anna Nicole Smith, appeared on the front cover of Playboy, being made Playmate of the Year by Hugh Hefner. She bagged a deal with Guess?, replacing supermodel Claudia Schiffer and finding herself a household name. Meanwhile Anna Nicole battled Marshall’s sons in the courts for her share of her late husbands millions, however she was eventually bankrupted and ordered to pay $1million dollars in fees. She was again given the right to fight for her entitlement following the death of her stepson.
Anna Nicole’s acting career was much less publicised than her marriage, although she appeared in high profile films The Hudsucker Proxy and Naked Gun 33 1/3. Her bigger roles came in smaller films such as To The Limit and Skyscraper and on television, appearing as herself in wacky reality TV series The Anna Nicole Show. She later apeared in Be Cool and Wasabi Tuna.
On September 7 2006 Anna Nicole gave birth to a daughter, Dannielynn Hope Marshall Stern, claiming the father was her lawyer Howard K Stern, although her ex boyfriend, Larry Birkhead, claimed the child as his. Three days later her son, Daniel, died of an apparent drug overdose while visiting his mother and half sister in hospital. Later that same month Anna Nicole and Howard K Stern exchanged vows in a commitment ceremony in the Bahamas.
On February 8 2007, the day after a date for a paternity test on her daughter had been set, Anna Nicole collapsed at a hotel in Florida and later died. An autopsy has yet to determine the cause of death.
