utilities. Moe and other employees have said they weren't getting paid.
       Howard, according to his own testimony after Anna's death, said he only had one client, Anna Nicole Smith. And after Daniel's death, his advisor role kicked into high gear. Decisions had to be made about their future, including where Daniel was going to be buried.  
       According to an interview Bahamian Controversy TV did with Haitian nanny Nadine Alexie, who was caring for Dannielynn at the time, Anna wanted Daniel to be buried in Texas, where he was born. Apparently, Howard quickly talked her out of it. Nadine explained in her broken English, "Howard said it will cost too much money to bury Daniel in Texas because there'll be lots of money for transportation . . . And Anna said, 'I thought that whenever you [weren't] born in a country, you're not supposed to be buried in that country.' And Howard said, you know, it's okay. She can bury him right here in the Bahamas, that will cost them less money."
       She also explained, "Anna didn't have too much money back then and the money she was collecting for selling the baby's picture . . . that money wouldn't be enough to go and bury the boy down there in Texas."
       Anna had also always said she wanted to be buried in Hollywood, near Marilyn Monroe. So, a few days after Daniel died, Ray Martino and Howard's mother, Broncha Machla Schwartzwald Stern, had gone looking for the appropriate place to bury celebrity Anna Nicole Smith's child in Hollywood, where he lived and Anna had become famous.
       Marilyn Monroe is buried at Westwood Village Memorial Park in Los Angeles, according to Forbes magazine one of the "Top 10 of America's Best and Richest Cemeteries." Hidden behind towering high-rises that line the heavily trafficked Wilshire Boulevard, is this tiny cemetery near UCLA, which is the final resting spot of some of Hollywood's most famous stars. Besides Marilyn, Westwood Village is the home of the remains of Donna Reed, Natalie Wood, Eva Gabor, and Truman Capote. Martino and Howard's mother discovered that there were no empty spots available near Marilyn. Hugh Hefner had already bought the crypt next to his most famous centerfold for himself.
       They settled on the Forest Lawn Cemetery in Glendale, California. The Forest Lawn Cemetery is also a "Hollywood" place to be buried. This cemetery of the stars is the final resting place of many A-listers, including Gracie Allen, Gene Autry, Lucille Ball, Bette Davis, Burt Convy, Liberace, and Telly Savalas.
       Since they definitely wanted Daniel to be buried in Hollywood, Ray Martino and Howard's mother picked out a plot in Forest Lawn and had the contracts drawn. Forest Lawn just needed signatures and payment. Approximately one week later, Howard informed them and others that there was a change in plans. He called Ray Martino back in Los Angeles and announced, "We've decided to bury Danny here, and decided to live here."
       Anna said she wanted Daniel to be near her.
       America's most buxom troubled beauty decided she was going to live in the Bahamas for the rest of her life.

    The lack of money was becoming a growing problem as Anna and Howard dealt with their other worries. Daniel's death was weighing heavily on them both, and Larry Birkhead, one of Anna's old boyfriends, had graduated from threatening e-mails to media appearances, speaking ever more loudly that he was the father of Anna's newborn baby.
       As for the claims of fatherhood, there was only so far they could run from the truth of DNA testing. But she certainly knew that what her ex-boyfriend Larry Birkhead was saying, was actually true. And in regards to money and favors, there is only so long that Anna could live on "I'm a celebrity" credit, depending on the kindness of friends and friendly new strangers to cut her a break. Anna was most likely unaware of the numerous IOUs that were stacking up and that many people, like bodyguard Moe
