Debuting Saturday, June 29 on Lifetime, Anna Nicole follows the life, celebrity, and untimely death of Vickie Lynn Hogan, an aspiring model who shot to fame through her first Playboy spread to her infamous E! reality series. We caught up with actress Agnes Bruckner to chat with her about portraying Vickie, more famously known by her stage name Anna Nicole Smith, and the various different aspects of the model's life that we can expect to see explored in this intense biopic. Watch our exclusive interview, and go behind-the-scenes of Anna Nicole.

Anna Nicole follows the swift rise and fall of Vickie Lynn Hogan, a Texas high school dropout and single mother with dreams of a better life. Realizing the power of her beauty, Vickie accepts a job as a dancer at a topless bar, where she changes her name to Anna Nicole Smith and first makes her mark. With a new persona and a shocking marriage to octogenarian millionaire J. Howard Marshall II, Anna's career blasts off when Playboy features her in a pictorial spread that evokes comparisons to Marilyn Monroe. But after her husband's death, Anna's financial support ends and her hard-partying ways, excessive drinking, drastic weight fluctuation and endless pill-popping take their toll, inevitably setting the stage for the fading starlet's tragic descent.

Hungry for celebrity, Anna launches her own hit reality show and soon gives birth to her daughter. But her newfound happiness and positive outlook on life is shattered when her son dies of an overdose while visiting his mother and newborn sister in the hospital. Unable to overcome the devastation over his death, in a tragic twist less than one year later, Anna herself dies of a fatal combination of pills, adding her name to a long list of icons who have succumbed to the temptations of fame.
