J. Howard Marshall

J. Howard Marshall (January 24 1905 ? August 4 1995) was a wealthy oil man and was briefly married to the actress, Anna Nicole Smith. Marshall died shortly after the marriage and Anna Nicole Smith was involved in a court battle with her former stepson. She was eventually awarded $88 million. However, in December 2004, a three-judge panel of the U.S. 9th Circuit Court of Appeals reversed that decision, saying that Anna Nicole is not one of J. Howard Marshall's heirs.
