It’s been five years since Anna Nicole Smith overdosed in a Florida hotel room on February 8, 2007.
Prior to her untimely death, Anna Nicole tore through The Bahamas with hurricane force.
The Bahamas was intoxicated by the antics of the former model and her death unwittingly led to a higher level of government scrutiny, said two cables published by WikiLeaks.
“Not since Wallis Simpson dethroned a king and moved to Nassau has an American femme fatale so captivated the Bahamian public and dominated local politics than Anna Nicole Smith did during her time on the island,” said the US cable titled ‘Hurricane Anna Nicole wreaks havoc in the Bahamas.’
The document was dated November 15, 2006 and was classified by then Deputy Chief of Mission at the U.S. Embassy in Nassau, Dr Brent Hardt.
“Not since the Category 4 Hurricane Betsy hit the island in 1965, has one woman done as much damage in Nassau,” it said.
