Best known as a socialite, public figure and diet product spokesmodel, Smith also appeared in a handful of movies, including The Hudsucker Proxy, The Naked Gun 33 1/3: The Final Insult and her final movie Illegal Aliens, which was released last year.Reality TV star, actress and former model Anna Nicole Smith has died after collapsing in Hollywood, Florida.
