We are still riding the derailed Anna Nicole Smith train after it came to an abrupt and unscheduled stop in February 2007 with her death at the age of thirty-nine. We expected "it." We expected her carnival of audaciousness to spiral out of control leading to her death. We did not know when, but we knew it was going to end with a loud crash. We did not expect her train wreck to continue plummeting with more railcars filled with dramatic legal issues and sex into our personal lives. Though, with Anna, it is never over; it is like the slow-motion developing of a sad circus clown photo; leaving us all in anguished anxiety, awaiting the next railcar to fall.
Spielberg, Lucas, nor a writer from a soap opera could not have scripted Anna Nicole's afterlife drama any better than the one she precariously penned from her grave. After Anna passed from this world to the next, I firmly believe she penned a climactic Third-Act (or season) of "The Anna Nicole Show" while lounging in Playmate Heaven.
(Anna writes from her tomb): "After my death, we leave the audience wondering who the real father of Dannielynn Birkhead is (Sorry Larry), also let's throw a possible murder into the mix. How will I do this? Oh yeah! Uh, sorry Howie (Howard K. Stern)."
She continues breathlessly, "Maybe if I let the media and the men in blue chase a few loose ends with all the prescription drugs, and throw in a few doctors' names."
Anna continues to ponder, "What were those names? Oh who cares, they will find them. Let's see, Oh yeah! We need SEX! Let them find some sexy photos of me with the same doctors that prescribed my drugs! Yes, that is it! This will no doubt land me a new and renewed season of "The Anna Nicole Show."
Unfortunately, Anna remembers the one detail that will negate all of her creative-scripting; she is dead.
Anna's railroad has finally stopped after delivering her to her final depot; a place where there are not any crashes or dead ends. Her engineer is her Father who safely delivered her into the open arms of her beloved son, Daniel. No doubt Anna finds her new home more luxurious than any five-star hotel or island paradise she knew before.
I am sure Anna would not want any of her close friends or relatives to experience any pain or suffering due to her past mistakes. I'm sure she would like the Anna Nicole media-train to stay derailed while bringing its focus on the engineer; her Father, Our Father.
George "Chris" Cole experienced life as a law enforcement officer with a tour of duty lasting over ten years in law enforcement. He is the survivor of two marriages, and continues to meet new people that provide inspiration for many of his articles and short stories. Many of his articles have appeared in national and local publications.
In 2008, Chris abandoned West Texas and its' "Wal-Mart Trees" (Mesquite bushes that grow plastic bags) to move to the green pastures and real trees of Fredericksburg, Texas. Chris continues to work and hone his writing skills while breathing the fresh air of the hill country.
Thank You so much for your comments! In case you did not know, I was a big fan of her "reality" t.v. series. Anna really was a trainwreck waiting to happen. May she rest in peace.
