Fun Trivia : Quizzes : Fashion Models & Designers : Anna Nicole Smith - The Model

Introduction:
"Lost in the morass of celebrity gossip and reality show hype is the fact that Anna Nicole Smith was one of the revolutionary models of her time. A quiz in tribute to this beautiful lady."


1. Anna Nicole Smith first gained national recognition as a model in “Playboy” magazine, posing first for the cover of the March, 1992 issue and then for the centerfold in the May issue of that year. By what name was she known in the latter feature?
    Anna Nicole Smith
    Vickie Lynn James
    Vickie Smith

    Naomi Campbell
    Elle Macpherson
    Claudia Schiffer
    Cindy Crawford


4. Smith’s tenure as Guess? Jeans icon began as something of a marketing epiphany, as the line’s designer saw her initial “Playboy” photo shoot and contacted her through the magazine.

    Paul Marciano

    True
    False


6. Following her turn as Playmate of the Year, Smith continued modeling for a variety of concerns. One of the most notable of these was the Swedish fashion retailer H&M (Hennes and Mauritz), which featured Smith in a number of prominently placed posters. These posters took an unfortunate toll on the European populace, however; according to Smith's profile on imdb.com, the eye-catching ads were blamed for several traffic accidents.
    True
    False


7. Among the glamorous model’s more artistic shoots was a layout in the August, 1993 issue of “Vanity Fair”, which saw her pose in photos reminiscent of a famed director’s evocative work. Which director was this?
    Ingmar Bergman
    Steven Spielberg
    Akira Kurosawa
    Federico Fellini


8. Though Smith was no stranger to controversy in her personal life, she occasionally courted it in her professional career as well. In 1994, “New York” magazine featured the model on its cover wearing brief western garb and cowboy boots while eating potato chips. What unflattering headline accompanied the picture?

    “Big Apple, Get Ready for a Big Girl”

    MADD
    PETA
    UNICEF
    META


10. Though Smith gained her greatest fame by bringing a voluptuous image into a field dominated by thin models (who are often dangerously underweight), her physique would grow so fleshy in her later years that her modeling career seemed in jeopardy, prompting her to take drastic steps to reduce. What product, for which she later became a spokesperson, did she credit with this weight loss?
    Trimspa
    Slim-Fast
    NutriSystem
    Weight Watchers
