Yahoo!'s Model of the Month Anna Nicole Smith Brought to you by GUESS Interactive. Anna Nicole Smith became one of the most well-known models in the world since she was selected to represent GUESS in its numerous ad campaigns begining in 1992. A native Texan, she is certainly more the '50s starlet than the typical '90s model. Anna's voluptuos 5'11" (39-27-39) proportions put her in a league with Jayne Mansfield and Jane Russell. Anna's rise to fame is a true Cinderalla story. At 24, she entered and won the Playboy Magazine cover contest and was ultimately discovered by Paul Marciano, President of GUESS. Anna first modeled for GUESS in its San Antonio campaign and went on to model for its Miami and New York campaigns. Anna was quickly recognized due to her tremendous exposure in GUESS advertisements which were placed in the top international fashion magazines. In 1993, Anna won Playboy magazine's coveted Playmate of the Year title. In addition, several popular television programs in the United States such as Entertainment Tonight, The Tonight Show, Larry King, Arsenio Hall, A Current Affair, Inside Edition, E! Entertainment and Regis and Kathy Lee have interviewed Anna. Anna's first screen tests won her roles in The Naked Gun 33 1/3 and Tim Robbins' film, The Huddsucker Proxy.

When asked who was the most influential person in her modeling career, Anna Nicole replied, "Paul Marciano, because he gave me a chance when I did not know which way to go."
