Quotes
Anna Nicole Smith: [picks up phone; sighs] This is Anna Nicole.
Georges Marciano: It's your agent, Anna. I just got word from Marciano at Guess. It seems they might've heard about all that crazy crap you did at the hotel.
Anna Nicole Smith: [scoffs] They were, like, spyin' on me?
Georges Marciano: [almost deadpan] They didn't need to, Anna; you weren't exactly discreet. Seems they've decided not to pick up the last two years of your contract.
Anna Nicole Smith: Well, forget them, then; just find me something... bigger, something better.
Georges Marciano: Actually, Anna, we've decided we're terminating our relationship with you, too.
Anna Nicole Smith: What?
Georges Marciano: [enunciating] You are no longer our client.
[pause]
Georges Marciano: Goodbye.
[click; dial tone; Anna switches off the telephone, sighs and sits dejected]
Middle Danny: [comes in through double doors] Hey, Mom!
[Anna is softly sobbing into her hand]
Middle Danny: What's wrong, Mom?
[looks at Danny and turns her head back sadly]

Mildly Entertaining

TV biopics rarely have the sort of depth that a feature has. I was looking forward to this one because I've always admired and enjoyed Director Mary Harron's work. But not even a really good cast and director could make this film any deeper than its subject matter. In all fairness, there wasn't that much to say without speculating -- which wasn't really the purpose of the film.

Fresh on the heels of the amazing HBO documentary called "Love, Marilyn," I was anxious to see how Anna Nicole's story would unfold, given that Marilyn Monroe was such an obvious inspiration for Anna Nicole. Certainly, if anyone in this century embodied sex appeal in some of the same ways as Marilyn, it would be Anna. However, unlike Marilyn - there was really never any attempt apparent that she took acting very seriously as Marilyn did.

I'd be interested to know how much Lifetime producers may have interfered with the production of Anna Nicole because that would be a sure indicator of a less than stellar production to follow.

I wasn't expecting all that much, given the subject matter - but I was at least expecting a more enlightening rendering of it. It's not bad enough not to see -- but it was nothing that merits seeing again, for sure.
