It’s hard to believe just how quickly Anna Nicole Smith rose from being a Playboy model to being all over TV screens in her own show and involved in one of the most publicized lawsuits of that era. From the mid-‘90s until the mid-‘00s Anna Nicole Smith was everywhere. And in the new documentary, “Anna Nicole Smith: You Don’t Know Me,” Netflix is pulling back the curtain to show you a version of the bombshell you have yet to see.
As seen in the trailer, ‘You Don’t Know Me’ follows the life and tragic death of Anna Nicole Smith. From her humble beginnings to marrying a billionaire and launching a media empire to her eventual death, everything is covered in Ursula Macfarlane’s new film. Much like what was recently done with Pamela Anderson and her own documentary, it’s clear ‘You Don’t Know Me’ hopes to shed light on the real person behind the Anna Nicole Smith persona and show just how this woman was mistreated by many over her lifetime.
“Anna Nicole Smith: You Don’t Know Me” hits Netflix on May 16. You can watch the trailer below.
Here’s the synopsis:
From director Ursula Macfarlane (Untouchable) and producer Alexandra Lacey comes an unflinching and humanizing examination of the life, death and secrets of Vickie Lynn Hogan – better known as model and actress Anna Nicole Smith.

With access to never-before-seen footage, home movies, and interviews with key figures who have not spoken out until now, ANNA NICOLE SMITH: YOU DON’T KNOW ME reveals new insights into the story of the quintessential blonde bombshell hardly anyone really knew.
