Anna Nicole Smith has appeared before the Supreme Court as part of her on-going legal battle to get her hands on her late husband's billion dollar fortune.
The ex-Playmate and reality TV star married Texan oil baron J Howard Marshall II in 1995, when she was 26 and he was 89. He died in 1996, leaving behind a $1.6bn estate, which Anna says she should get a substantial cut of, but one of Marshall's sons thinks otherwise.
Despite being left two homes, millions of dollars worth of gifts, clothing and jewelry, it isn't enough for Anna; she claims Marshall promised her half of everything he owned.
She's been locked in a court case since fighting for a share of his cash. An initial decision to award her half of her husband's fortune was over-turned in 2002.
Anna, who was awarded a $450m cut of his wealth in 2000 – before it was later slashed to $88m, is waiting to see whether the Supreme Court decides she can make another claim to her husband's estate.
The model, who met Marshall when she was working as a stripper in a club, has always insisted their relationship was based on love. We believe her, honest.
