The upcoming Netflix documentary looks at the life and death of Vickie Lynn Hogan, who was better known as model and actress Anna Nicole Smith.

The TV personality rose to fame after appearing on the cover of Playboy magazine in 1992 and went on to appear in The Hudsucker Proxy, The Naked Truth, Ally Mcbeal and The Anna Nicole Show, her reality show which aired on E! from 2002 until 2004.

She died in 2007 at the age of 39 from accidental combined drug intoxication.

Directed by Ursula Macfarlane, You Don't Know Me is an "unflinching and humanising examination" of Anna Nicole Smith's life and career, exploring her dizzying ascent, her marriages – including her second marriage to octogenarian billionaire James Howard Marshall II – and her tragic passing.

"With access to never-before-seen footage, home movies, and interviews with key figures who have not spoken out until now, Anna Nicole Smith: You Don't Know Me reveals new insights into the story of the quintessential blonde bombshell hardly anyone really knew," Netflix said.
