Margaret Cho Remembers Late Friend Anna Nicole Smith
It’s been nine years since Anna Nicole Smith died of a drug overdose at the age of 39, but her memory lives on for Margaret Cho.
The comedian just released a single titled “Anna Nicole” off her upcoming album American Myth that pays tribute to her late friend and that famous kiss the two shared on The Anna Nicole Show’s Christmas special in 2002.
“This is a wonderful collaboration with Garrison Starr and it’s a requiem for Anna Nicole Smith that is as beautiful and quirky as she was,” Cho wrote about the music video. “It’s my version of ‘Candle in the Wind,’ and about the archetype of someone who is too good for this world that exists in all of us."
Earlier this week, Cho opened up about the circumstances surrounding Smith’s 2007 death during an appearance on the Sirius XM show, Conversations With Maria.
"I think that her grief was overwhelming,” Cho explained. “Her son had died, and her son was just so precious to her.” Smith’s 20-year-old son, Daniel, passed away in September 2006, just three days after she gave birth to daughter Dannielynn.
