A few years back, the Studio City mansion where “The Anna Nicole Show” was filmed sold for $1.3 Million, and prior to that, Anna Nicole lived in a sprawling country estate in Texas while she was married to an elderly billionaire, J. Howard Marshall. In this video, we’ll be checking out her one-time properties.
In her 39 years of life, Anna Nicole Smith had left her mark in a few different places.
Coming from a poverty stricken upbringing in small town Texas, she became a famous face
in the 90's and had always dreamed of bigger and better things.
A few years back the studio City Mansion where the Anna Nicole show was filmed sold for 1.3
million dollars.
And prior to that Anna Nicole lived in a sprawling country estate in Texas while she was married
to elderly billionaire J Howard Marshall.
In these videos we don't reveal any addresses and even though I've done a house tour of
my own place, please do not show up at any private residences because it's not safe
for anyone.
Anna Nicole Smith, born Vicky Lynn Hogan, was a model, actress and TV personality who
first rose to fame as a Playboy model and as 1993 Playmate of the Year.
She modeled for other brands as well including Guess and H&M, and Anna Nicole's second
marriage in 1994 to 89 year old billionaire J Howard Marshall when she was only 26 was
highly publicized.
Following his death, only a year after marrying, she began a lengthy legal battle over a share
of his estate to drag on for years to come.
Anna Nicole was constantly a subject of fascination and she even had a E-reality series about
her life before that was even a thing.
Despite her humble beginnings and dropping out of high school at 15, Anna Nicole had
always dreamed of a glamorous life.
Tragically, the model died in 2007 in a Florida hotel room from an accidental overdose of
prescription drugs.
Despite her two early deaths, Anna Nicole would leave her memory and mark for years
to come, including on some of her former properties.

Now let's get into this video.
In 2017, the Texas home where Anna Nicole lived while she was married to J Howard Marshall
came up on the market for just over 2.84 million dollars.
This estate was located in Cyprus, an area which is just outside of Houston and about
25 miles from downtown.
Anna Nicole kind of abandoned this home after her elderly husband passed on, reportedly
leaving to California with just a suitcase in the middle of a bankruptcy at that time
and leaving the estate vacant.
As a result, some local high school kids vandalized it.
While Smith further sold the home to the next owners in 1998, who then devandalized it,
remodeled it, and expanded it.
The home was an equestrian property built to maintain horses and sat on a sprawling
9.74 acres of land.
Inside, the mansion boasted 6,311 square feet of space with 6 beds and 6.5 baths.
It offers a pretty traditional look in its design and walking in, but you can see there
are dark wood finishes contrasted with plenty of white walls.
The foyer boasts a soaring ceiling and winding staircase, which is one of two sets of stairs
in the home, and nearby, there's a double-height great room with a built-in fireplace and plenty
of seating options.
Built back in 1988 during the remodel of the mansion, it was updated with more modern touches
including other random additions like rooms like the wine storage space.
There was a kitchen with white cabinets, stainless steel appliances, and features like a double
oven, as well as both a formal dining room and a breakfast nook overlooking the pool
located elsewhere.
The kitchen opened up to a family room and there was also a separate den.
Other features throughout Anna Nicole's one-time home included a games room, a home
office, and four attached-detached oversized garages.
The bedrooms, including the spacious master suite, all followed a similar and very neutral
colour scheme, but they certainly had all the accommodations one would need.
Aside from that wine cellar, the last owners also added a gym building, a multi-use sports
courts, a putting green, and an indoor-outdoor kitchen ideal for entertaining.
On the grounds of the estate, there was also a guest house with an oversized living area
as well as a bonus cigar room, and a second guest quarters could be found above the garage.
Located out back was also the sparkling swimming pool and a pond.
For horse owners, seeing as this was an equestrian property, the place was equipped with a 13-stall
barn and lighted arena.
2017 marked the first time the home was for sale since Anna Nicole died in 2007.
An even more famously known home that Anna Nicole lived at, even considered a piece of
pop culture history if you will, came up for sale in 2013 and ended up selling for $1.3
million.
Located in Studio City, Los Angeles, this was the very house where the star's life
was documented on the Anna Nicole show.
This series was one of E's first forays into reality TV, long before keeping up with
the Kardashians was a thing, and it lasted two seasons.
Fans of the former Playboy model might recognize touches from the home when it doubled as a
reality TV set, including the portrait of Anna Nicole and some girly pink bedroom decor.
The star had purchased the home in her given name, Vicky Lynn Marshall, back in 2005 for
$1.33 million, and upon her death in 2007, her daughter Daniel Lynn and her child's
father Larry Burkhead moved into the property.
The chic home sat on nearly half an acre of land and offered some great over LA views
from the pool deck.
Inside, the home spanned 4,700 square feet of space with 5 beds and 5.5 baths throughout.
The estate was built in a Mediterranean style and nestled into the mountains.
The high ceilings and open plan layout in the house no doubt were useful to accommodate
a camera crew while Anna Nicole's life was being filmed, and we can see there were various
living spaces.
One living area had a wall lined with windows and double height ceilings, along with a fireplace,
while the main foyer boasted a glam chandelier overhead and an upscale staircase.
The kitchen and formal dining room were decorated in a more simple and basic fashion, but no
doubt had plenty of potential for any future buyer.
While the kitchen looked in need of an overhaul, it also had a breakfast nook off to one side.
Anna Nicole's one-time master suite had a balcony that took advantage of the panoramic
views over the city, as well as a private walk-in closet and luxe bathroom.
One perk of this home was that all bedrooms came with their own bathroom.
One of the sleeping quarters was decorated in an all pink and girly theme, Anna Nicole's
favourite colour.
This was likely her daughter Daniel Lynn's bedroom at some point.
The giant painting of the late model still hung in the entryway as a nod to Anna Nicole,
while elsewhere in the house there was even a space that was turned into a home gym.
Other features included a large 4 car garage and the sparkling pool and spa outside overlooking
the views.
It's said that the home was put on sale by the handlers of Anna Nicole's estate
and Daniel Lynn was the beneficiary.
Once the home sold, proceeds reportedly went to her daughter.
So now we've looked at two of the homes of the late Anna Nicole Smith and that's
gonna bring this house tour to an end.
Those of you who'd watch the Anna Nicole show, did the house look familiar?
