Anna Nicole Driven by Ford in New Movie

Anna Nicole Smith may be in heaven, but she's also connecting with the stars, as in "Dancing With." Former contestant Willa Ford will play the sometimes lucid, sometimes not, former Playboy Playmate.
Anna Nicole Smith and Willa Ford
Ford has signed on to star in "Anna Nicole," and shooting begins next week. It's about Smith's rise from exotic dancer to reality-show-diet-spokesmodel stardom, from her late teens up until her death in February at age 39. Meanwhile, a thinly-veiled fictionalization of Smith on "Law & Order: Criminal Intent" will feature actress Kristy Swanson as an Anna-alike.

136. I am so tired of all you people busting on Howard K Stern.
Stop the nasty ass comments NOW.

All Howard did was what Anna wanted him to do.
He took wonderful care of her and her baby.

Some of you people are so darn negative.
I shout from the roof tops...

Stop it...Stop it...Stop it...STOP IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Enough...Enough...Enough...ENOUGH!!!!!!!!

If anything went down...point your ugly big fingers else where in

this tragic ending.

I wish Anna were still here so she could be rasing her own baby girl.
But since she isn't here...I wish Larry and his baby girl...Gods speed.

Bless you baby Daniellynn...daddy Larry...and always Danny's dad
Howard K Stern.

Howard know that Anna and baby Danniellynn will always feel your love.

137. Pam Anderson would be better than Willa. IMO Pam's implants are almost as big as Anna's, and as ugly. Willa doesn't have implants, and she doesn't look like Anna. How are they going to pull off the big boobs with Willa? Pump 'em up, probably. What stars will do for wannabe fame amazes me.

138. James Brolin playing the Prince is the best match. I don't see a resemblance in the other players to stars. IMO

139. CBS, NBC, ABC will probably all have there own movie.. CBS will do Howards Movie on Annas , NBC will do Larrys Movie on Anna and ABC will do virgie's movie on Anna.. Not to mention the cable stations doing there own spin

140. How would you possibly make a movie out of this womans life except to put all the ugliness out there? I cliked on the link to the SNL skit I guess I had never seen her series? but they probably should cast that character and make it a total comedy, I had to laugh was it that bad(OMG)Or they make it the tragedy it was and portray all those who enabled her to proceed on the(Train Wreck) to keep them in a lifestle of drugs & sleeze they were all accoustomed too!Better yet is there a market to see any of her things(really) besides making fun of her or the perverts getting their jollies?Yep the Baby will see all of it?

141. The casting for the three main players is all wrong. I'm sure you can do better than this. The actors don't even motivate me to watch the movie. Perhaps is you concentrate on the shape of the faces in question , you will understand.

142. I don't think there is anyone in hollywood that comes close to the looks of anna nicole, she was her own unique individual. I hope that if a movie is made, that it will show her own unique qualities. She was not a gold digger and worked hard to provide for her son, and herself. She had a tremendous love for daniel, her baby, the cameras, etc. Yes she may have done drugs but haven't we all done things in life that was wrong? standing up for anna, tammy

143. the cross that anna had on in most of her picture. were is this cross?

144. I think that the gal that plays "Joy" on "My Name is Earl" should have been cast for the part of Anna Nicole Smith.

145. I think Anna`s family are vultures for sure. I lived in Mexia and saw where ANS grew up and have seen family members and her ex husband. She didn`t have the support of a loving family at any point. It seems that there was always a "void" in Anna`s life and she spent her life trying to fill unmet expectations. This I believe ultimately killed her. It`s funny how all of the sudden you see her mother, half sister, etc crawling out of know where. If they were all "loving" her, where were they when she lost her son, and the birth of her daughter? You never saw Anna mentioning them or saying "I wish my Mom was here" , That says alot. As much as ANS was in the media, you would have heard something mentioned about this so called loving mother, Virgie! Virgie needs to come to terms herself. She`s made a spectacle of herself, and i firmly believe deep down, Virgie was jealous of her own daughter!
and now she`s even worse because her granddaughter is set to recieve millions at some point. If someone is so happy in their life, they don`t run as ANS did, she couldn`t wait to leave small town life for something better. It`s simple.. she always yearned for attention, and if it was bad attention , people like ANS accept it as just that "Atleast it`s attention". The most important thing in life really is not success, but that of a loving and healthy relationship. Let`s just hope ANS baby is raised in a much different enviroment, I believe ANS would want that.

146. If there's a movie made of ANS will they also tell the story behind Virgie relationship with Anna or will Virgie stick money smelling nose in there and stop what is suppose to be Annas acct of thier relationship. Will movie be a true movie from Annas up bringing and relationships with family members and most of friends. If there's a movie made I hope Howard K. and Larry have alot of thier in put on it because they seem to know alot about her and feelings for her distsnt family. Especialy Howard K. Ednamae

147. Willa willa baby you are channeling Anna tooo much. Talent gets parts not sex. No Respect.

148. I think it's entirely too soon for a movie. And Willa Ford?? Are you kidding me? That's who gets to play ANS? Pathetic casting on their part. When did she become an actor (or singer for that matter!) I'm really disappointed.

149. I think JENNY McCarthy or JENNA JAMISON should play ANNA. OR Marilyn Monroe to play her..(oops, she died of the same thing as Anna)...Dracula should play howard k stern, and some big fat drag queen should play Vergie!
