Blonde Ambition - The Untold Story Behind Anna Nicole Smith's Death
Book Review

Review by Queenie B

Blonde Ambition by Rita Cosby

BLONDE AMBITION BOOK SYNOPSIS

Deception, secret deals, trouble, drug addiction, and tragedy define Blonde Ambition. Anna Nicole Smith was a beautiful, famous-for-being-famous, blonde Playboy Playmate, stripper, reality TV show star, and wife of a billionaire whose family took her all the way to the Supreme Court. Anna is a complex character and her childlike and frightened self is revealed here.

Anna Nicole Smith Exposed
This is an in-depth journalistic account of the story of the year, the death of Anna Nicole Smith, with never before told information. You will read detail minute by minute of what actually happened the night Anna died. Rita Cosby's hope is that this book will serve to provide the solid facts and to tell the truth about what she wanted for her baby girl, Dannielynn.

Ten percent of this books proceeds go to D.A.R.E. (Drug Abuse Resistance Education)

QUEENIE B SAYS

Anna Nicole Smith was never understood. Not by us and not by herself. Looking at her, one would think of a new age Marilyn Monroe. She had it all, and then somehow, lost it all. Anna couldn't find love, she lost her children, she was a child herself.

Anna Nicole Smith Dead
I find this book sad. Where were her so called friends while Anna Nicole lay dying in a hotel room? Howard K. Stern was out boat shopping and Moe, her own well paid bodyguard, left her with his wife! With the death toll rising from celebrities mixing prescription drug combination “cocktails,” this story gives plenty of fodder for all of us plain folk to chew on.

How many people, I suspect millions, use 3-4 different prescriptions daily? Add a little alcohol or uncontrolled substance, or maybe even a cold medicine, and you might not wake up one morning. We're seeing more and more premature deaths of so many stars, Heath Ledger being the latest! Famous words of Rosie O'Donnell...."It's easy to get lost in what the public perceives of you and become the star and not the person anymore."

Who's next? Will it be Brittany Spears fate? She's the one we are all watching now, as we were Anna Nicole Smith a few years back. Fame isn't what it is cracked up to be.

Author Rita Cosby does an excellent job of unfolding the facts. Blonde Ambition reads like a really long and interesting newspaper article. You want the facts, you get them here! The author is an Emmy award winning journalist and does a fantastic job of telling the story correctly! Good read for those interested in the real Anna Nicole Smith news.

BLONDE AMBITION DISCUSSION QUESTIONS

  1. Do you think Anna Nicole Smith was mistreated by her closest friends?
  2. Did Anna Nicole Smith have a death wish after losing her son Daniel?
  3. “Famous for being famous” - was Anna Nicole Smith misunderstood, not only by the public but by herself as well?
