6. Anna Nicole Smith
Anna Nicole Smith died in February of 2007, at 39, from an overdose on prescription drugs. Because of this, and because of her effervescent beauty, she has often been compared to Marilyn. She, like the original Atomic Blonde, was a symbol of her times. Many people believe that she committed suicide to escape the pain of her twenty-year-old son’s death from drug overdose. Only five months separated their deaths. Anna Nicole’s death is doubly iconic because not only did her son’s precede hers, but she also left behind an infant daughter (born three days before the death of her son) who will now be raised without a mother.
