Anna Nicole Smith
Smith wanted to be taken more seriously as an actress, but Hollywood studios were reluctant. Her persona of a ditzy dumb blonde was compressed heavily in her film roles, which sought only to market her physical assets. In an attempt to earn acting respect, Smith agreed to appear in "To the Limit" (1995), her first starring role. She played Colette Dubois, a retired spy seeking revenge on the murderer of her husband. Although the film was highly publicized and boasted a lavish budget and script, Smith's performance drew negative reviews and was ultimately a box office bomb. It was Smith's only venture in a mainstream Hollywood leading role.
