Here's a fairy tale for you. It's a good one; everybody knows it and loves it. It's from the Book of American Fame and Celebrity. Ready, kids? Once upon a time, in a dusty little Texas town called Mexia, there lived a poor (but pretty) little girl named Anna Nicole Smith. She worked at Jim's Krispy Fried Chicken to add her bit to the family finances, but she harbored bigger dreams. The walls of her bedroom were covered with posters of Marilyn Monroe. Her heart burned with the desire to be a star. And you know what? Partly because of her beauty and mostly because of good ol' hard work, her American dream came true! Yes! She went to parties in a mansion, had her picture taken for a magazine filled with pretty girls, became a famous model (for which brand name? guess), married a rich and handsome prince, even got her own network TV show. And, of course, she lived happily ever after!
