Houston/New Delhi. This love story sounds like a movie script, but it's entirely real. In October 1991, in Houston, Texas, 86-year-old oil tycoon J. Howard Marshall visited a local strip club, where he met 23-year-old dancer and aspiring model Anna Nicole Smith.
Witnesses say it was love at first sight. The very next day, Marshall handed Anna an envelope with $1,000 in cash and said, “My Lady Love, you don’t have to go to work ever again.”
That moment changed Anna’s life forever. Marshall showered her with luxurious gifts — including a red Mercedes convertible, access to a bungalow once owned by Marilyn Monroe, and over $1 million worth of jewelry.
By 1994, Anna had become a famous Playboy model, and the couple got married. However, their marriage lasted only 14 months before Marshall passed away in 1995.
After his death, Anna became embroiled in a lengthy legal battle over his estate, which kept her in the spotlight for years and became a widely covered case in U.S. media.
This unusual romance still fascinates the public — a story where age, wealth, and love intersected to create one of the most talked-about relationships in American history.
