Fans are getting a never-before-seen look at the life of Anna Nicole Smith.
In the first trailer for the Netflix documentary Anna Nicole Smith: You Don’t Know Me shared exclusively with PEOPLE, new footage of the late model/actress is showcased, promising a revealing look at her legacy. Smith (born Vickie Lynn Hogan) died of an accidental prescription drug overdose at 39 years old on Feb. 8, 2007.
Director Ursula Macfarlane (The Lost Sons, Untouchable) tells PEOPLE, “I’ve always been fascinated by Anna Nicole Smith. I think like most people, I had a cursory knowledge of who Anna Nicole was. The more I dug into her story, the more I discovered that a lot of what I watched and read over the years provided a one-dimensional look at Anna Nicole. It’s been 16 years since she has died and it was time to dig beneath the surface. Society’s perspective has shifted on women in the media spotlight who pursue fame — and we need to lift up female and female identifying survivors, instead of condemning them.”
Anna Nicole Smith: You Don’t Know Me is on Netflix May 16.
