After a lengthy search, Agnes Bruckner (Private Practice) has been cast to play Anna Nicole Smith in Lifetime’s original movie The Anna Nicole Story, executive produced by Craig Zadan, Neil Meron and Judith Verno.
Written by John Rice and Joe Batteer, the movie is based on the true life story of Vicky Lynn Hogan, a pretty but plain girl growing up in a small Texas town who transforms herself into Anna Nicole Smith – a voluptuous, Marilyn Monroe-esque Playboy pin-up and model. Determined to be noticed, for good or ill, Vicky gets her wish, but it comes at a steep price, both for her and her beloved son, Danny. The Anna Nicole Smith Story is produced by Sony Pictures TV and Zadan and Meron’s Storyline Entertainment. Bruckner, repped ny APA and manager Oren Segal, recently completed indies A Bit of Bad Luck and Wrong Cops. She will next be seen in The Baytown Outlaws opposite Billy Bob Thornton and Eva Longoria.

History Channel’s first mini is an amazing Emmy winner while sister station Lifetime continues making this garbage – makes no sense.
Oh no. How come Amanda Bines, Lindsay Lohan or Miley Cirus are not gonna play Anna-Nicole in Lifetime biopic? The were robbed.
It took a “lengthy search” to cast a fake blond vacuous bimbo with enhanced breasts in Hollywood? Where were you looking, Nigeria??
That comment gets the win.
anges is an amazing actress! Can’t wait to see it!
I wanted it to be more of a name…….Anna was a star even if it was through drama ….I wanted jenny McCarthy for her sex appeal or Christina Hendricks for her acting ability……….oh well i hope she does a good job…Anna would love a movie about her life…RIP my friend…
I can’t wait to see it I love Agnes she is a natural beauty and stunning actress. I don’t even like Anna Nicole from watching her reality show but I’m going to see this! Can’t wait for Agnes to blow up the scene in Hollywood!
