Charlize
Theron
has
been
tipped
to
play
Anna
Nicole
Smith
in
a
film
about
her
life.
The
actress
is
movie
bosses'
first
choice
to
star
as
the
Playboy
Playmate
who
married
an
89-year-old
oil
billionaire
and
died
aged
just
39
last
week.
A
source
revealed:
"You
couldn't
make
up
a
life
story
like
Anna's.
Studios
are
falling
over
themselves
to
pay
tribute
to
an
incredible
woman.
There
are
a
number
of
actresses
earmarked
to
play
Anna,
with
Charlize
the
favourite." This
won't
be
the
first
time
the
31-year-old
South
African
has
played
a
controversial
real-life
character.
Charlize won an Oscar in 2004 for her portrayal of US serial killer Aileen Wuornos in 'Monster'. Anna Nicole died last Thursday after being found unconscious in Hollywood's Seminole Hard Rock Hotel and Casino. Her death came during a time of personal grief - her 20-year-old son Daniel died five months ago - and in the middle of a bitter paternity battle over her daughter Dannielynn. After a failed teenage marriage she moved to Houston to become a stripper and met elderly oil billionaire J. Howard Marshall.
Anna Nicole, 26, married Marshall, 89, in 1994, but he died the following year. She spent the next decade battling his family for his estate. She got her big break in 1991 when Playboy boss Hugh Hefner chose her to appear on the magazine cover.
