On being Anna Nicole Bruckner says
I was very nervous and anxious about taking the part because she was so iconic and so famous and larger than life. I asked myself Am I going to pull this off and What kind of movie are we making and all those questions We really wanted to tell a different story. All those things gave me the confidence to play the part.
Fans of Smith will also recall that the star s weight fluctuated and even her time shilling a diet supplement. Bruckner says of the costuming for the role
We worked so hard and we had prosthetic boobs and prosthetic cheek and neck pieces for when she was heavier. I bleached my own hair. And we also had wig pieces she had such different looks throughout her journey. The wardrobe team created so many of these beautiful dresses that you see in the movie from scratch working around the clock. The transformation is really a reason alone to see this movie because it s so unbelievable. It gave everyone chills when I showed up to set dressed as her.
Bruckner also said she cried watching Anna Nicole Smith s life play out in the Lifetime version due especially to the circumstances under which the star passed away.
