What I liked

Anna Nicole Smith is a fascinating piece of pop culture history. She’s one of countless women whom society judged harshly and then felt bad about judging decades later (in her case, after her death).

I listened to a great episode of a podcast called “You’re Wrong About”. Society had lambasted her for being a gold digger, but when the billionaire adored her, was of sound mind and WANTED to support her financially what was she supposed to do? Starve and let her child starve?

Alli in this show demonstrates that Anna loved the late Howard, even if not necessarily romantically, but with that person who unquestionably loved her gone she had nothing left but judgement, mental health issues, and a child she felt unfit to take care of.

Really moving, and also brave of Alli to not only show the raw emotions but wear the somewhat revealing outfits.

What I didn't like

Nothing. It’s currently less than 30 minutes and kept me engaged the whole time.

My overall impression

I agree with people who say this is worthy of expansion!
