Editorial Review:
This book combines beautiful never-before-seen candid photos of intimate and memorable moments, stories, private and personal words of Anna Nicole Smith combined with new details about some of her deepest darkest secrets. Brought to you by her best friends Pol Atteu and Patrik Simpson. They insisted Anna, who always said I m gonna do it my way was a NOT-SO-DUMB BLONDE but in fact was a smart, shrewd woman who, although lacked a formal education, played the role of the dumb blonde well it didn t play her. You will see Anna Nicole as funny, beautiful, sexy, and naughty, a wonderful mother, a true confidant, but most of all...a friend. Pol and Patrik were present at every aspect of her life and knew all her well-kept secrets too; was Larry Birkhead FAMILY ? Was Howard K. Stern her true love? What kind of a monster was Anna s mother, Virgie Arthur? Everyone knew Anna Nicole Smith. People wanted to touch her. They wanted to be with her. They wanted to be her. Anna was larger than life. It didn t matter if Jennifer Lopez walked through the door before her or Brad Pitt behind her. When Anna entered a room and turned her celebrity on, the crowds cheered. This book is to memorialize and celebrate Anna s life. We will always love and miss her. Not a day goes by that we don t think about her. She touched our lives and everyone else she ever knew. The world suffered a great loss when she died on February 8, 2007 and the enormous outpouring of grief made it clear that Anna Nicole Smith was more than just a celebrity...she was an icon.
Anna Nicole Smith: Portrait of an Icon, Signature Edition Reviews:
a true TRIBUTE book 
2009-03-23 - I have seen some negative reviews for this book so far. I would have to say that I disagree ENTIRELY. I think any true Anna Nicole Smith fan would LOVE this book. It is exactly what it says it is, a tribute to the beautiful Ms. Anna Nicole Smith. If you want to read trash and lies with shady "sources", read something like, Blonde Ambition: The Untold Story Behind Anna Nicole Smith's Death. I am not done Great Big Beautiful Doll: The Anna Nicole Smith Story, but if you want to read something to find out more about Anna it seems to be good in that respect. But if you already love Anna and just want to see the inside of her life from a certain point on, and see a true loving tribute, this is an excellent book. I read it in a day, yes it IS an easy read. But there are funny, cute stories about Anna and of course, there are tragic ones. This is an inside view of two friends who, while they may not have known EVERYTHING about Anna, or maybe they didn't want to out of respect for their friend, witnessed Anna's behaviours and can give insight into what was going on especially during difficult periods in her life. It doesn't go into detail about drugs and alcohol like the two aforementioned books but it is exactly what it says it is, a tribute. It is not extremely detailed, it is little moments, a LOT of cute pictures and I would say a loving goodbye to their friends and to share with fans who love her now.
Flimsy book 
2008-07-29 - Nothing really new in this book. Fairly boring and disappointing. I do not recommend to anyone else.
Great for Anna Fans like myself
2008-07-10 - No, this book is not meant to be a long story. It's Anna's life in pictures. I've seen a lot of pictures of Anna and this book actually had a few I had never seen before. I did like this book and it took me around an hour to look at it and read the captions and short stories. If you want a long read on Anna's life, choose something else. If you'd like a book of nice big pictures of Anna, Dannielynn and Daniel, this is the book for you. Why fuss over "gross" pictures? Did you completely miss who Anna was and what she did? Duh! Yeah!..she loved her some "manhood" and she let people know. If you don't like that sort of thing, best to stay away from anything Anna Nicole :) Hope this helps some people in their decision on this book. Rest in Peace Anna!
AGH! A DESIGNER & AN AGENT NOW THEIR WRITERS?!
2008-02-17 - AGH! WHAT JUNK! Since when does some amateur designer & a model agent get to call themselves writers?! This book is not even written. Just a bunch of stupid captions. Poor Anna Nicole Amith- everybody is still trying to make a buck off her even in death. This book isn't worth the paper it's printed on! Anna Nicole was in the public eye for 15 years so what made these 2 characters think they were going to do anything different than all the others before them?! Who are these guys anyway? No one has ever heard of them. We've seen all the pictures in here EVERYWHERE before! DON"T waste your time.
DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY ---
2008-02-16 - More like a magazine than a book...double or triple spaced lines, shorter than a research paper. Gross pictures of cakes with "private parts" on them...YUCK. Glowing and flattering attitude toward Howard K. Stern , who may be behind this "book". It will not be seen in many/any libraries.
