HOLLYWOOD - Anna Nicole Smith's estranged mother, Virgie Arthur, has been axed from a biopic of the late model, according to singer Willa Ford.

Ford, who will play the late former Playboy model in an upcoming movie, claims Arthur "does not deserve" to be part of the film.

The actress tells the New York Daily News, "We didn't write the mother into the film on purpose. She is not in the movie at all.

"She just doesn't deserve to be in the film. If there is one thing Anna wouldn't want, it's her mother in a movie about her life."

Smith died earlier this year from an accidental drug overdose.
