But less that two years after this dazzling pic was taken she was found unconscious at the very same hotel. The former Playboy Playmate later died, just months after she celebrated the birth of her daughter and mourned the death of her son. Now the pink roses have been replaced by red roses, placed carefully by a mourner on the steps of her Hollywood Hills home. The single bunch lies next to a newspaper which will never be read

SPLASHNEWSONLINE HAS EXCLUSIVE VIDEO OF ANNA NICOLE HAVING CPR ADMINISTERED. STAY TUNED! Anna Nicole Smith has died after collapsing at a Florida hotel according to her attorney Ron Rail. The former Playboy model was "not breathing and unresponsive" when paramedics arrived at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Hollywood, where she was staying with her attorney boyfriend Howard K. Stern. Paramedics were seen pumping her chest and desperately trying to revive her as she was rushed on a stretcher to a waiting ambulance. "It didn't look at all good for her. She seemed totally lifeless," said a witness, who saw him dash into Smith's hotel suite minutes after she collapsed. "Her bodyguard flew past me like a bat out of hell. "Howard Stern was running about like crazy. He was in a total panic. It looked like he didn't know what the hell to do. He was in total panic." A nurse was called to 39-year-old Smith's hotel room on Wednesday afternoon when she complained on feeling unwell. She arrived at the hotel the previous evening on a private jet from her now home in the Bahamas. She told hotel staff she was feeling "great" and wanted to know if there were any events going on that she could attend. But people who witnessed her arrival said she was looking 'tired and strained.' Smith is embroiled in a number of bitter court battles and is due to give evidence at an inquest into her 20-year-od son's mysterious death from a drugs overdose. Daniel died three days after she gave birth to the daughter she has always longed for. Daniel Smith had been with his mother and visited his baby sister just hours before his death in the Bahamas. This tragic turn of events has come four months after Nicole Smith won the latest round of her long-running court battle that could eventually see her become richer than the Queen. The blonde star has been given the right to fight for half of her late oil baron husband's GBP 800million fortune in the US Supreme Court. If she wins, her fortune will be GBP 100m more than the Queen's GBP 300m. The US Supreme Court said the former Playboy Playmate of the Year should have a fresh chance to pursue her claim in federal court. She was 26 when she married 89-year-old wheelchair-bound oil tycoon J Howard Marshall II in 1994. When they met two years earlier, she was working as a topless dancer in a club in Houston, Texas. Marshall's death 14 months later triggered a legal battle between Nicole Smith and Marshall's son Pierce, who died unexpectedly earlier this year, aged 68. She claimed her husband promised half of his estate, but Pierce Marshall said his father only wanted her to have the GBP 3m-worth of gifts she received in 1994. Legal experts say Nicole Smith, who has not received any money from her late husband's estate since his death in 1995, was now looking the likely winner of the bitter battle over her late husband's fortune. In a string of court battles, she has accused Pierce of killing his father and trying to kill her. He alleges she was a gold digger who only married The model and actress is one of the most famous faces in the world, with her rag to riches life taken straight from the pages of a Hollywood movie script. She was born Vickie Lynn Hogan on November 18 1967 in Houston, Texas, to parents Donald Hogan and his wife-t0-be Virgie Mae. As a child Smith's family moved to the small town of Mexia, Texas, and when her parents divorced in November 1969, Smith was raised by her mother and her aunt, Elaine. More pics after the jump
