Anna Nicole Smith's life will be celebrated by three Playboy tributes, the magazine’s founder says.
Hugh Hefner has announced there will be a 10-page picture special of Smith in the magazine’s May issue, as well as an hour long retrospective on Playboy TV and an online tribute on Playboy.com.
Blonde bombshell Nicole first appeared in Playboy in March 1992, when she graced its cover under the name Vickie Smith, and was Playmate of the year in 1993.
Hugh has blasted criticism he’s profiting from Anna’s death, saying: “It's quite frankly celebrating her in a way that she would appreciate.”
