A federal appeals court has declined to reconsider a ruling that former Playboy
model Anna Nicole Smith is not entitled to $88.5 million from the estate of her late husband.

Anna Nicole Smith, the 1993 Playmate of the Year was 26 when she and oilman J. Howard Marshall II married in 1994. He was 89. They met three years earlier when she was working as a stripper.

Marshall died in 1995, and Smith and Marshall's son, E. Pierce Marshall, have battled over his estate ever since. Today, a federal court has declined to reconsider a ruling that former Playboy model Anna Nicole Smith is not entitled to $88.5 million from the estate of her late husband; the son was the oilman's sole heir, and doesn't owe Smith anything.
