(Flynet)

In case you’re like me, and more than a little depressed by all of the Anna Nicole coverage surrounding her death and the legal battle over her baby, etc., then maybe you’d appreciate a lighter look at the busty blonde–more specifically at her film career. Here is my favorite quote from the Paper magazine article, in which the author relates a story referring to how Anna Nicole first got her start in show business with a break from Playboy magazine.

When the magazine accepted her for a photo spread, Anna Nicole was informed that she would be flown to Los Angeles and put up at the Playboy Mansion. She was thrilled, until she got off the phone with the photo coordinator and complained to the Reddings: “You lied to me…. They said they’re flying me to California!” unshakably convinced that Los Angeles was located in New York.

It makes me nostalgic for a time when Anna, Anna, Anna, Anna, Anna Nicole was so outrageous–and not quite so tragic.
