Anna Nicole Smith’s Diaries Revealed
Friday April 6, 2007
![]() Mitchell Gerber/Corbis Two diaries written in the 1990s by Anna Nicole Smith reveal that the late starlet was obsessed with her weight and eating habits, and was deeply in love with her 80-something husband, oil magnate J. Howard Marshall II. The journals, obtained by the Associated Press, will be up for public auction in a few weeks by Heritage Auction Galleries of Dallas. One diary is a purple and green Hallmark hardbound book that includes a handwritten message on the inside cover: "This diary belongs to Vickie Smith. Do Not Read!" In a collection of entries, riddled with grammar and spelling mistakes, the Playboy Playmate (born Vickie Lynn Hogan) chronicled her relationship with Guess CEO Paul Marciano, who tapped Smith to replace Claudia Schiffer in the company's jeans advertisements. "O my Gosh!! Paul Marsiano called today to see if I got his books also I'm gonna go to San Antonio to do photo shoot," she wrote on June 23, 1992. "I'm so excited!! I can't believe this. This could be it." The entry ends with five hand-drawn smiley faces. Two days later she recounts buying $3,000 worth of clothing during a shopping spree at Neiman Marcus. "I'm so happy they look great," she wrote. "I hope it empresses Paul Marsiano. ... I'm starving!! I've been starving myself." On June 13, 1992, she wrote that she was hung over and stayed home to watch a movie, adding that she "Took a Zandrex!" Smith died on February 8 in a Florida hotel from an accidental drug overdose, involving at least nine prescription drugs. She was 39. In an entry dated August 16, 1992, Smith wrote: "I've been really stressed out lately and depressed and I can't quit eating. I feel like a pig. Howard has been buying me som jewelry but he call me 15 or 20 times a day it drives me crazy. I love him but he aggravates me somtimes," she wrote. "I don't no what to do about Paul hes strange guy. I hate for men to want sex all the time." The entry ends with a large underlined "Chow!" Her second diary -- a much smaller spiral-bound paperback Guess Kids calendar --describes her relationship with Marshall, who took ill and died in 1995. "Hes so very weak and fragile When I touch him Im afraid he might break," she wrote. "If Jesus desides to take him I dont no what I'll do. I love him so much it hurts me to site and watch him when hes hurting I just want to hold him touch him let him no how much I care." The auction house obtained the journals from an anonymous German businessman who purchased them and other items on eBay for more than $500,000 several weeks ago. Doug Norwine, director of music and entertainment memorabilia at Heritage, said the man decided to auction the diaries after securing the publishing rights. Opening bids will start a $20,000, Norwine told the AP, and he expects the diaries to fetch as much as $100,000.
