A friend of mine was Anna Nicole's roomate at the Betty Ford Clinic.
She said Anna was genuinely sweet and talked about her son as if the
sun rose because of him. What people forget is the media chooses what
they show, and none of us really knew Anna Nicole, other than her
media image.

Couldn't have said it better myself. AN's best friend was on TV today
and said she thinks Anna simply died of a broken heart. She was still
devastated by Danny's death and wasn't coping well, at all. While
Anna Nicole wasn't a role model by any means, she was one of the first
contemporary plus-sized models and sex-symbol, and that's no small
accomplishment in this world where Kate Moss is held up as a standard
of beauty. She was only 39 - and her death was a tragedy. I only
hope that her child can have a semblence of a normal life, out of the
media's eye.
