This documentary uses a great deal of existing archive interview material (though annoyingly without giving provenance) including what appears to be Playboy TV footage of her reality-TV-style meeting with her long-estranged dad, who had left home when she was a baby, together with a half-brother neither of them knew who she had become before their reunion. It is an incredible story, although, frustratingly, this movie is too coy to just ask the Mrs Merton question: what first attracted her to the billionaire oil baron? Oddly, the film cites Marilyn Monroe in Gentlemen Prefer Blondes – and Anna Nicole’s life is an amazing real-life revival of that story – but doesn’t quote Marilyn’s classic, impenitent line: “Don’t you know that a man being rich is like a girl being pretty? You may not love your girl just because she’s pretty, but my goodness doesn’t it help?”
