She followed that up with a second marriage to a man who was 89 years old and wheelchair bound.
Her highly publicized marriage to oil business executive and billionaire J. Howard Marshall, who was 63 years her senior, resulted in considerable speculation that she married merely for his money, which she denied.

"Marrying into money was not a good thing for me." -Anna Nicole Smith
While growing up, Anna wanted to be the next Marilyn Monroe. She was subsequently called "the next Marilyn Monroe" in press reports, a comparison she encouraged by wearing Monroe's hairstyle, as well as her trademark blowing white dress.
