Anna Nicole Smith

In 1992 Anna Nicole, went to a photo session , hoping to model for the Playboy magazine. Magazine creator Hugh Hefner was very fond of Anna and insisted that she be on the cover of the March 1992 issue. She was pictured in a low-cut black evening gown and listed as Vickie Smith. The centerfold was photographed by Stephen Wayda. The magazine made her an overnight modeling sensation, and she became known for wanting to be "the next Marilyn Monroe" who was a huge role model for her.
