WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Actress and model Anna Nicole Smith can add another line to her colorful resume: a winner in the U.S. Supreme Court.
The justices Monday unanimously ruled Smith, who went by her real name -- Vickie Lynn Marshall -- in legal papers, can continue her fight to claim a large part of her late husband's vast business holdings.
Smith, a former Playboy pinup and stripper, and one of the late oil tycoon J. Howard Marshall's sons have been fighting in court for more than a decade over a fortune estimated as much as $1.6 billion.
The justices did not decide how much money Smith would get, if any. Her victory means the case is thrown back to a lower court. She has yet to collect on any part of the disputed estate.
