(CBS/AP) WASHINGTON – The U.S. Supreme Court has ruled against the estate of Anna Nicole Smith in its fight to capture some of the $1.6 billion estate left behind by her late Texas billionaire husband.

The high court on Thursday ruled that a bankruptcy court’s decision to give the now-deceased actress, model and Playboy Playmate $475 million from the estate of oil tycoon J. Howard Marshall was decided incorrectly.

Smith and Marshall were wed in 1994, when she was 26 and https://www.sosc6nj44.online he was 89. He died the next year.

His will left his estate to his son, E. Pierce Marshall, and nothing to Smith. A California bankruptcy court awarded Smith part of the estate, but the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals said that a bankruptcy court could not make a decision on an issue outside of bankruptcy law.

The high court agreed, with a vote of 5-4.

Smith died on Feb. 8, 2007, of what was ruled an accidental overdose. She was 39.
