Dannielynn Comforted By Footage Of Her Drugged, Incoherent Clown-Mom
Rest easy—all is well at Birkhead Manor, even if Us Weekly's cover story on Anna Nicole Smith's last living heir somewhat disconcertingly crops daddy Larry out of the picture. (At least we're hoping those disembodied hands are Larry's, and not Tony Potts placing the one-year-old in a duffel bag for transportation to a contractually mandated appearance at Access Hollywood's studios.) And while the "$472 million baby" may tragically never get to meet her mommy, Dannielynn will at least be able to experience her through the multimedia shrine her father has erected in Anna Nicole's honor:
"Larry says that it's important Dannielynn knows about her mom," his older sister, Judy Birkhead tells Us.
"He's always telling Dannielynn how much he loved Anna and how great she was."
Birkhead, 34, has put photos of Dannielynn's mom everywhere. "He'll point at pictures and show Dannielynn videos of her too," Judy says.
Smith also set aside keepsakes for her daughter - including letters she had written for her - that Birkhead is saving for when the baby grows up.
Longtime friend Jane Rose-Zupetz tells Us, "When Anna was pregnant, she painted a lot for Dannielynn. Larry will give her those, also."
It's comforting to think that while the average toddler might be subjected to the cartoonish and monstrous imagery of Nick Jr.'s Yo Gabba Gabba!, Dannielynn will instead be gurgling contentedly to the soothing sights and sounds of Seasons 1 through 3 of The Anna Nicole Smith Show, or, for something a little more personal, the drugged clown makeup footage sensitively lensed by perpetually lurking lawyer-figure, Howard K. Stern.
