Actress Agnes Bruckner plays Anna Nicole
Smith in 'The Anna Nicole Story,' a biopic about the centerfold's life,
and looks beautiful in the trailer for the film released on Monday
The first trailer has been released for The Anna Nicole Story, the Lifetime Channel biopic about the famed Playboy centerfold and reality star's life, and the movie looks surprisingly glamorous.
A glossy, beautiful series of shots are featured in the trailer to a sultry cover of the song Fame, portraying the much-publicized tabloid starlet as the modern Marilyn Monroe she always wanted to be.
The film stars the gorgeous 27-year-old actress Agnes Bruckner as Anna Nicole, best known for her recurring roles on television series like 24 and Private Practice, and films like Murder by Numbers.
Directed by acclaimed American Psycho
director Mary Herron, the biopic charts the quick rise and slow but
steady fall of the East Texas stripper who became Playboy's Playmate of
the Year in 1993 and then married billionaire oil tycoon J. Howard
Marshall, who was 62 years her senior.
When he died 15 months later, Smith began a court battle over his estate that would last the rest of her life and go all the way to the United States Supreme Court over the hundreds of millions she believed she was due in inheritance.
The cast of the melodramatic tale about the centerfold's troubled life is about as good as a cable television movie gets.
The octogenarian oil tycoon will be played by Academy Award-winning actor Martin Landau and his son, E. Pierce Marshall who battles Smith in court, by The Princess Bride actor Cary Elwes.
Also starring in the film is Oscar-nominated Sideways actress Virginia Madsen, playing Anna Nicole's mother Virgie Arthur, and Saving Private Ryan star Adam Goldberg, who plays Smith's long-time lawyer and secret lover Howard K. Stern.
