The life of model and actressAnna Nicole Smithknew quite a few moments, about each of which it is probably possible to make a film separately. The star who began her career as a stripper, married an elderly billionaire and tried to break through as a serious actress has experienced quite a few vicissitudes in her life, and a new film that is being released now tries to make order and reveal what really happened to her.
Netflix's new documentary, "You Don't Know Me," explores the star's life and reveals her life behind the spotlight, including the loves and lies the star tried to hide throughout her life, which ended with her tragic death from an overdose in 2007 at the age of just 39.
Smith began her career at a strip club in Houston, where she met billionaireJ. Howard Marshall, who was 89 at the time and confined to a wheelchair. After much courtship on his part, they married in 1994, a marriage that lasted only a year until his death in 1995. In the same year they married, she starred in two films but failed to elevate her acting career, which was repeatedly cut short and the projects in which she participated received extremely low ratings.

The personal life of the star was no less difficult. She lost a protracted legal battle with her billionaire husband's family over his inheritance, married several times and had two children from different fathers. Three days after giving birth to her daughter, her eldest son passed away at the age of just 20. According to the evidence in the new film, Smith suffered from severe drug addiction, was exploited by various people, abused by her mother and apparently suffered sexual abuse by her father as a teenager.
But the star's life was also full of contradictions, with testimonies revealing that she invented quite a few lies throughout her life. A woman namedMissy Byrom, who worked with her at the strip club, claims that she adopted other people's stories from their past and told them as if they were her own. The star underwent quite a few cosmetic surgeries, which caused her pain and eventually led her to an addiction to painkillers, which eventually led to the breakup of the two, according to Byrom, who said: "She needed more love than anyone could give her."
