Willa Ford, 26, is set to play Anna Nicole Smith in a movie set to start recording next week. Willa, actual name: Amanda Lee Williford, is best known for her 2001 album and single “I Wanna Be Bad”. More recently she was on “Dancing with the Stars” in 2006 and played host to reality television show “The Utlimate Fighter” in 2005. Both Willa and Anna Nicole were Playboy playmates.

The biopic, entitled “Anna Nicole”, will cover Anna Nicole Smith’s life from age 17 to her death at 39 this past February. So that should take us through her Bunny Ranch years, sleeping with a 215 year old oil tycoon, getting big and slurry on reality TV, slimming back down with Trimspa, and finally making her last hoorah at a party in Florida.

Just yesterday DNA test results confirmed that Larry Birkhead was the father of Anna Nicole’s daughter, Dannielynn. Smith’s former boyfriend, Howard K. Stern, continues to be sketchy.
