Courtney
Love
is
set
to
play
Anna
Nicole
Smith
in
a
new
biopic.
The
42-year-old
singer
-
the
widow
of
Nirvana
frontman
Kurt
Cobain
-
is
being
considered
to
portray
the
tragic
Playboy
model
who
died
on
February
8
from
an
accidental
drugs
overdose.
A
film
insider
is
quoted
by
Britain's
Daily
Star
newspaper
as
saying:
"Courtney
is
flattered
to
be
in
the
frame
as
she
had
a
lot
of
respect
for
Anna.
Courtney
feels
she
can
relate
to
her
tragedy.
Owen
Wilson
is
also
being
lined
up
to
possibly
play
Anna
Nicole's
former
love
Larry
Birkhead."
Another
biographical
film
entitled
'Anna
Nicole'
is
set
to
start
shooting
next
week.
This
project
will
see
26-year-old
singer
and
'Dancing
with
the
Stars'
contestant
Willa
Ford
playing
the
blonde
bombshell.
There
are
striking
similarities
between
Ford
-
who
calls
herself
the
"bad
girl
of
pop" and
Anna
Nicole.
They
both
shot
to
fame
modelling
for
fashion
label
Guess?
and
were
named
Playboy's
Playmate
of
the
Year.
The
film
will
chart
Anna
Nicole's
rollercoaster
life
from
the
age
of
17,
documenting
her
two
marriages,
her
battle
for
her
late
husband
J.
Howard
Marshall's
billions
and
her
untimely
death.
Anna
Nicole
died
aged
39,
just
five
months
after
giving
birth
to
her
daughter
Dannielynn.
Larry
Birkhead
was
revealed
as
the
father
of
the
seven-month-old
baby
on
Tuesday.
