Agnes Bruckner does a fantastic performance of Anna Nicole Smith here, in some ways even more realistically than Anna herself ever did. The story is tough going, about Anna's troubled upbringing, her experience of stripping, right through until her marriage to octogenarian Harold Marshall. It also chronicles her dependence on drugs, her relationship with her son and her out of control demeanour that ultimately takes a toll on her. Hard not to find ANS's story very sad and disturbing, but one must remember that despite her obsession with being a celebrity she was effectively catapulted into a life of fame and fortune without really knowing how to deal with it, and therefore ending up paying the ultimate price. Worth a watch.
