• In a new Netflix documentary, Anna Nicole Smith: You Don’t Know Me, director Ursula Macfarlane weaves a tragic web from complex, at times conflicting, accounts of the life of the infamous model.
• You Don’t Know Me documents the unravelling of Smith’s public image, from small-town girl, to Playboy playmate and Guess model, to “gold digger” and “white trash”.
• Born Vickie Lynn Hogan, Smith spent most of her childhood in the small Texan town of Mexia.
• True to her word, she made herself a star and married him three years later, at Houston’s White Dove Wedding Chapel.

Smith’s star power

• First featured on its cover in March 1992, Smith was quickly made playmate of the month in May, before winning playmate of the year in 1993.
• Smith’s goddess-like figure, splashed across H&M lingerie billboards, even reportedly caused a number of car accidents in Norway.
• At times the coverage of the tragedy of Smith’s life in You Don’t Know Me, eclipses that of her accomplishments.

‘Adored by millions, but loved by few’

• Celebrity women are frequently criticised in the British and American press, particularly those who dare to exist outside the western norms of feminine acceptability and desirability.
• In one particularly striking clip, American radio presenter Howard Stern asks Smith to be publicly weighed, for the entertainment of his viewers.
• Instead of redeeming their subjects, these projects often cause further harm by perpetuating a sense of public ownership over them.

Who gets to tell Smith’s story?

• Stern was accused of being complicit in the drug abuse that led to her death.
• He was found guilty of illegally providing Smith with prescription drugs in 2009, before having his conviction overturned in 2011.
• Birkhead claims to be working on his own documentary of Smith’s life, utilising her archives to “let Anna tell her own story”.

• The hit series has also caused something of a 'Cool-naissance', with Jennifer Coolidge starring in both the 2021 and 2022 seasons as lost multimillionaire Tanya McQuoid.
• "There is no doubt this Vivid Ideas event with the series' leading talent Mike White and Jennifer Coolidge will be a huge drawcard for fans from near and far," Minister Graham said.
• I hope it will be an opportunity for Mike White and Jennifer Coolidge to fall in love with New South Wales when they visit."
• Vivid Sydney Festival Director, Gill Minervini said, "We're thrilled to share that The White Lotus creator, Mike White, and star of the series, Jennifer Coolidge, will join this year's Vivid Sydney line-up.
