Highly rare and incontrovertibly authentic 12x12-inch color image taken from a calendar, boldly signed in blue felt-tip Sharpie marker in-person for a busy Los Angeles-based autograph hound in the 1990s. A diagonal crease to the upper right-hand area, much of which one could trim away, if so desired; otherwise, in fine condition, and nice for framing and display. Blonde, buxom, deliciously uninhibited Anna Nicole Smith was Playboy's Playmate of the Year in 1993 and went on to become an eminently entertaining television personality. Her brief life, mired in legal, personal and romantic troubles, ended with a drug overdose at age 39, and genuine examples of her autograph are highly elusive in any format.
