It sounds like the biopic will tell the story of growing up in Texas as Vickie Lynn Hogan (her real name) before her transformation into the Marilyn Monroe-esque model who married an oil tycoon.
According to Deadline, The Anna Nicole Story will also star Martin Landau as J. Howard Marshall II, the 89-year-old who wed Anna Nicole when she was 26 years old.
Their marriage lasted until August 1995, when Howard passed away. There was a huge legal battle over Howard's estate that lasted more than a decade, pitting Anna Nicole against his son.
