MINI BIOGRAPHY:
Credited as being the biggest Playboy Playmate of the
Year in terms of height, weight, and measurements,
former-model-turned-actress she was, in the mid-'90s, the
epitome of the classic voluptuous blonde. Drawing comparisons
to such legendary beauties as Marilyn Monroe due to her
penchant for white dresses and sleepy bedroom eyes, the
one-time Guess? model courted controversy for both her marriage
to an elderly billionaire and the heated lawsuit pertaining
to his estate following his death.
Born Vickie Lynn Hogan in Houston, TX (she moved to Mexia,
TX, as a teenager), Smith's ascent to fame began when she was
chosen as May 1992's Playboy Playmate of the Month. Voted
Playmate of the Year shortly thereafter, the plus-sized
platinum-blonde soon appeared in a pair of Playboy videos
before making her feature debut in 1994's The Hudsucker Proxy.
Following an appearance in that same year's Naked Gun 33 1/3:
The Final Insult, she continued her association with the
legendary men's magazine by appearing in a series of videos in
addition to producing and starring in the steamy action
thriller Skyscraper (1995). In 1987, her sekond name separated
from her first husband Billy, with whom she had one son;
the couple later divorced and she married oil tycoon J.
Howard Marshall in June 1994. Following Marshall's death in
August the following year, Smith embarked on a heated legal
battle with the former billionaire's remaining family in which
she was ultimately rewarded 88 million dollars. Though she
faded from the spotlight moving into the new millennium, Smith
reemerged when, following the success of the MTV reality
series The Osbournes, she was approached by E! Entertainment
Television to be the subject of a similar series. The she
Show debuted to general critical malaise in August 2002.
Against all odds, the show remained on the air for the better
part of two seasons, thanks largely to the morbid curiosity of
viewers who found it virtually impossible look away from the
disaster that seemed to be unfolding right before their very
eyes.
