Anna Nicole Smith’s daughter Danielynn got her Christmas wish fulfilled by her father, Larry Birkhead. On December 27, he shared a picture of his 18-year-old daughter posing beside a Christmas tree with a big cardboard cutout of her superhero, Hugh Jackman. Larry Birkhead became a single dad after Anna Nicole Smith’s death in 2007 at the age of 39.
For some time, Howard J. Marshall was said to be Danielynn’s father, but photographer Larry Birkhead later came out as the biological father and confirmed it with a DNA test. Since then, he has always desired for her daughter to live a great life.

Anna Nicole Smith’s daughter, Danielynn, has a low profile, which helps her father protect her from the public. But some of their moments caught on camera reflect the beautiful relationship between them. When Larry shared what inspired his Christmas present to his daughter, he detailed the stress he experienced in the process of getting it.
“All Dannielynn wanted for Christmas was Hugh Jackman under the tree. Since he wasn’t available, the next best thing had to do. Dannielynn got tickets to see @thehughjackman ‘s Broadway Show, ‘From New York With Love,’ at @radiocitymusichall It almost didn’t happen.” And to “save Christmas,” he got tickets to the show and a life-size cutout of Hugh Jackman. Reflecting on the experience, he said, “I’m just a Dad making dreams come true one day at a time. Not sure what we are going to do with this cutout now?? Scratch that, it’s already in her room! Happy Holidays to everyone!”
