Anna Nicole Smith fashioned her bombshell image after Marilyn Monroe, saying she’d been born to be in the spotlight. She got her wish: years after her tragic death, she continues to fascinate.

Saturday, on June 29, Lifetime will be airing a film inspired by true events in Smith’s life, with the first trailer for it embedded below, at the end of this blog post.

Agnes Bruckner stars as the iconic blonde and, while the resemblance is not as striking as some of Smith’s fans might expect, she seems to have captured her fabulousness and sparkly personality just fine.

Martin Landau also stars, making an appearance as Anna Nicole Smith’s late husband, oil tycoon millionaire J. Howard Marshall, to whom she was married for a year until he died.

She always claimed she’d tied the knot for love, not money.

If you like what you see in the trailer, keep an eye out for “The Anna Nicole Story” on Lifetime.
