WASHINGTON (Reuters) – The Supreme Court ruled on Thursday against Anna Nicole Smith’s estate, bringing to an apparent end a long legal battle the former Playboy model, who died in 2007, had waged to get part of the fortune left by her late Texas oil baron husband.
It marked the second time the U.S. high court has ruled in the dispute involving the former topless dancer and Texas billionaire J. Howard Marshall, whom Smith married in 1994 when she was 26 and he was 89.
