In a new book called Anna Nicole Smith: Portrait Of An Icon, the tragic star’s stylist pals Pol Atteu and Patrik Simpson reveal the actress found great comfort in Judaism after her son’s death in September 2006. They even feature photographs of the late star posing in front of a mirror that has been covered in accordance with Jewish mourning rites. Atteu and Simpson write, “Anna embraced all religions, and followed the Jewish tradition out of respect for (companion) Howard K. Stern by covering all the mirrors in the house because she was in mourning.” en-us mobiustrip@the44.net Copyright 2008 2008-04-17T;20:25:05-05:00 chaynetzach@gmail.com BS"D Well, proper Jewish mourning rituals are adapted to Jews.
