The only celebrity to come out of Mexia was the football coach Ray Rhodes (1950-) … Anna Nicole only lived there for a few years and the town still probably doesn’t appreciate the honour of her presence there once upon a time. It was also the site for one of the biggest World War Two internment camps for Rommel’s Africa Corps. Mexia was a dusty town where the local theatre had been turned into one of the town’s 20 churches. She was dirt poor and there were tales she took toilet paper from the local restaurant. Her aunt Kay Beall said: “She used to come over and stay with me and clean my house for five dollars of my food stamps to let her go down to the store to buy some candy. There were rumours that her mother wasn’t her mother at all and that her aunt was her real mother.Īnyway, Anna Nicole went to elementary and intermediate school in Houston before moving to Mexia to go to high school. Her father was a felon and alleged rapist who left her mother after just over a year. It is said in the book that Anna Nicole naturally sprung from Houston in Texas because of her overboard flamboyance, outrageous ambition and unbounded self-indulgence – it was quintessentially Texas where she was born on 28 November 1967 as Vickie Lynn Hogan. It was all because of fame and too much money which had the same effect on busty blondes Marilyn Monroe (1926-62 drug overdose) and Jayne Mansfield (1933-67) whose careers kind of had the same trajectory. When we think of Anna Nicole, we think of her beauty and first and foremost her big breasts, and then we think of how she turned off friends and relatives, with her disregard for her own safety and that of her son… and also the drinking, the drug abuse and reckless sex.
