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.

63. Who best to play a blonde, busty bimbo like Anna Nicole Smith than, the other blonde, busty bimbo, Pam Anderson! They both got their start in Playboy; they both have plastic boobs, and they both have one brain cell between the two of them!!!!

THIS VIDEO SHOWS WHAT ANS REAL IMAGE HAS ALWAYS BEEN.

And this is the only actress who ever protrayed her acurately. Why not hire her for the movie about Anna?

66. Betty White is to good to play that money grabbing Virgie. How can she even think of custudy [not spell right] of Dannielyn after the way she traeted Anne and the things she said on tv and didn't keep in contact with Daniel. She still could of kept in touch with him when he got older.and how is she paying her bills over there on the island where everything is taking place. how can they even think of a movie at this time they don't know how all is this is going to turn out. Virgie wants Anne and now Dannielyns money so she can pay her bills She's seeing those big $$$$$$$ sign. Ednamae

68. Pam Anderson would be the best to play Anna.....Actually with so much drama in her life they could just start a new "soap" a movie would be lame

69. To the person who made the comment "Poor Anna was used and abused in life and will be in death." Please. She wasn't used or abused. She used people to get what she wanted. I for one don't care for ANS. I'm not happy she died but I don't see anything she did that was so great. I am tired of hearing about ANS.

73. Not on the serious side :-) What about Courtney Love? They could always alter her looks with makeup and I'm sure for the role, Courtney would have her breast enlarged even more. Anna and Courtney both were/are spaced out enough that for Courtney...no acting would be involved!

74. Patrick Dempsy should play Howard! Sexy!

75. Why not a movie. It's all we've been watching on T.V. This woman struggled so hard to be someone, she made it, and then as most Hollywood eventually do, she got into the drug scene. Whether she started it to lose weight or just to feel good, it's the same old thing. I say, Hell yea, let some one make a movie. Get the true story out, it that's at all possible. Such a sad, sad story. All people think about is money, money, money! What about that beautiful "Danielynn'? What is going to become of her. With that much money riding on her, will she ever be taken care of like child should be or is she just $$ dollar signs in everyone's eyes. She surley is in HKS and Virgie. I pray that Larry Birkhead will be a good father. I can only judge by what I have seen on T.V., but he looks to be pretty down to earth. Let's hope so for Danielynn's sake. God Bless Danielynn.
