Netflix just released a new documentary in regards to the arguable lifetime of Anna Nicole Smith. Titled Anna Nicole Smith: You Don't Know Me, the film takes a more in-depth take a look at the fashion's life thru accounts of her loved ones.
Although Larry Birkhead — the daddy of Smith's daughter, Dannielynn Birkhead — didn't sign up for the venture as he deemed it an "overwhelmingly poorly reviewed cesspool" where "some people were allowed to invent things and rewrite history," the Naked Gun superstar's circle of relatives and longtime pals had been in it.
One of Smith's brothers, Donald Hart even denied that his sister was ever abused when she become a child. Her secret ex-girlfriend, Missy Byrum, sponsored up the claims. Apparently, the former Playboy centerfold had appropriated her lifestyles story.
In an unpublished interview, Smith's mom Virgie Arthur also set the document directly on that narrative. But amid the ones heavy claims, one confirmed story turned into that the Anna Nicole Show alum had rejected a $352 million film after an "embarrassing" salary be offering.
There's photos of her talking on the phone with her good friend about it. Here's a run-down of a few bombshells from the film that can change the way you consider her "messy" personality.
Was Anna Nicole Smith Bisexual?
Smith first met her ex-girlfriend, Byrum when she first labored as a membership dancer. "Everyone fell in love with her," the latter recalled. "I did too." However, Byrum noted that she "was not her first female lover," and that she "knew it would not last."
After a non-legally binding wedding in 1993, Byrum in the end broke up with Smith as her addiction got out of keep watch over. Still, she admitted that even though they had been "real sober lovers — it was a conscious thing," there have been instances once they'd hook up under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
Regarding her sexuality, Smith's buddy and couturier, Pol' Atteu exclusively told People that Smith became neither directly nor homosexual. "I would say she was fluid. We just did not have a name for it back then," he stated."
His husband, Patrik Simpson added: "I believe that she really simply liked, cherished, liked other people. And if it became a woman that she changed into so concerned with, in love with, and then tremendous, then she could have intercourse with a lady. If it became a person she may love and feature sex with, it became a man."
Anna Nicole Smith Turned Down Cameron Diaz's Role In The Mask
In an archival clip, Smith said that she was offered an "embarrassing" salary of $50,000 to play the role of Tina Carlyle on the 1994 comedy hit, The Mask starring Jim Carrey — remembered by the Guess icon as "that humorous man."
Ashley Wells Lewis — a film producer with whom Smith and her son Daniel lived for a while — mentioned that her overdue good friend regretted that call. "She never were given over it," she recounted. "I think it could've set her off the suitable path. It for sure didn't harm Cameron Diaz."
In 2019, the movie's director Chuck Russell said that he had indeed met Smith for the role, but didn't pursue her any further. "We met," he said. "Anna became captivating and bubbly, however didn't produce other qualities wanted for the role. I by no means took the next step to run scenes together with her."
Anna Nicole Smith's AMAs Slurred Speech Was All An Act
Before going onstage at the American Music Awards in 2004, Smith had apparently told her former bodyguard, Maurice "Big Moe" Brighthaupt: "I'm going to do something everyone will at all times take into accout." Then she broke headlines after slurring her introduction of Kanye West.
Brighthaupt — whom Smith fondly called Momo — revealed that the reality star was perfectly lucid when she returned backstage. Later, she told him that the stunt got her "such a lot of different speaking engagements," even joking: "I did not even must do a intercourse tape. I must flub a line extra regularly."
It all adds up. Smith had even used Byrum's tragic childhood story in an emotional interview where she said: "You want to pay attention the entire issues [my mother] did to me? All the things she let my [stepfather] do to me or let my brother do to me or my sister? All the beatings and the whippings and rape? That's my mother."
When confronted about it by her mom, Smith just explained to Arthur: "I make more cash telling sad stories than I make telling excellent stories. If it is dangerous, one thing really dangerous, I make 50 times the amount of cash I make if it is good."
Byrum then noted to People that her ex had always been an expert at drawing attention to herself. "She began to manifest the character of Anna Nicole again then," she said. "She would even pretend to be silly when she was dancing. I watched her do it always. She realized stripping that guys love to think you might be dumb if you are that lovely."
