Celebrities are paying tribute to actress Anna Nicole Smith, following her tragic death last week. Tyra Banks says, “She was so sweet, a really sweet woman and I am sad that she is gone.” Paul Marciano, CEo of Guess jeans, says, “This is a very tragic and sad event. Personally, I feel she did not survive the loss of her son Daniel, who was the love of her life.” Brooke Shields says, “I was shocked, I cried. I am just so sad for that baby and I am so sad for everybody who loves her and I only hope that maybe she is with her son. With everything that she ever went through, she seemed to be able to endure. She always seemed like she was sweet. I never met her, but her heart seemed pure, no matter what she was going through.” The family of Anna’s deceased husband, J Howard Marshall II, says, “our family was shocked by the untimely death of Anna Nicole Smith. We wish to express our sympathies to her family in this difficult time.” [15 February 2007]
