NASSAU – A hearing in a Bahamas court on Friday failed to end a prolonged battle over custody of late Playboy Playmate
Anna Nicole Smith’s daughter, 7-month-old Dannielynn.

Larry Birkhead, a Los Angeles photographer and former boyfriend of the billionaire’s widow, was identified on Tuesday as the father of the baby, who could one day be worth a fortune if Smith’s estate wins a decade-long battle to inherit from her former oil tycoon husband J. Howard Marshall.

But Friday’s hearing over custody of Dannielynn, at which Birkhead had been widely expected to be awarded guardianship based on court-ordered DNA tests, adjourned soon after it got under way.

“It gave me a chance to do yet another character, to do something that I had never done before, to play a character who plays a character who plays yet another character,” she said, referring to the three different personas she takes on in the film, “seemed like a real challenge.”
