As you've no doubt already heard, Anna Nicole Smith has passed away at only 39 years of age.

Although it's sad to hear that Smith died, during the few times I caught her reality TV show, she came across as perpetually on something, so I guess her untimely death isn't necessarily a huge surprise. Still, way back when she first hit the scene and was doing ads for Guess jeans, I thought she was one of the most beautiful women I'd ever seen:

I won't pretend to know a lot about Anna Nicole Smith, but she struck me as the sort of woman who wouldn't mind being remembered that way.

In any case, my condolences go out to Anna Nicole's friends and family.
