R.I.P. Anna Nicole :'(

(CNN) -- Reality TV star and former model Anna Nicole Smith was pronounced
dead Thursday 8th Feb after being taken to a Florida hospital after being found
unconscious in her hotel room, a law enforcement source with knowledge of
the case told CNN.

Smith, 39, collapsed at a south Florida hotel and was taken to a local
hospital, according to news reports.

TMZ.com had reported that Smith collapsed at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel
and Casino in Hollywood, Florida, and was rushed to Memorial Regional
Hospital in Hollywood just after 2 p.m. ET.

According to reports, Smith was found unresponsive in her hotel room.

Smith was involved in paternity suit regarding the parentage of her
daughter, Danielynn, as well as other disputes, including ones regarding a
house she stayed at in the Bahamas around the time she gave birth.

Earlier this week, Smith was included in a class-action lawsuit against a
company, TrimSpa, for which she has worked as a spokesperson. TrimSpa makes
a product it claims leads to substantial weight loss. The lawsuit alleges
the marketing of the product, TrimSpa X32, was false or misleading.

Smith's son, Daniel Wayne Smith, died at age 20 just days after the birth of
Smith's daughter. Pathologist Cyril Wecht said a lethal dose of methadone
and antidepressants caused cardiac dysrhythmia, leading to his death.

Actually the line is "Don't you yell at me Mr Warwick!" this was because of the horror of seeing her girls laid out under blankets that had been killed by the German raid. Overtaken by her grief she rummages in her bag for a cigarette and thats when he yells at her-because there are ruptured gas lines and could blow up if ignited by a spark from her cigarette. This was after a lighter moment with Kenneth More, who berated her for her girls using the men's bunkers-the irony is that he uses the women's one to shelter from the incoming raid. Very sad loss and yet another fine actress(we also lost actor Pete Postletwaite too this week) lost to the profession.

Actress Susannah York has passed away:

British actress Susannah York, one of the leading stars of British and Hollywood films in the late 1960s and early 1970s, has died in London at the age of 72.

York received an Oscar nomination in 1970 for her role in "They Shoot Horses, Don't They?" and also appeared in the classic "A Man For All Seasons" before going on to play Christopher Reeve's biological mother in the Superman series of movies.

She died of cancer Saturday at the Royal Marsden Hospital in London. Her son, the actor Orlando Wells, said York was an incredibly brave woman who did not complain about her illness and a "truly wonderful mother." He said she went into the hospital on Jan. 6 after experiencing shoulder pain.
