Larry Birkhead and his 13-year-old daughter Dannielynn Birkhead live a quiet country life out of the Hollywood spotlight. The 46-year-old father has maintained a low-profile for the sake of his only daughter in the 12 years since her mother Anna Nicole Smith's tragic passing from an accidental drug overdose in 2007. In a rare interview with DailyMailTV's Jesse Palmer at their Kentucky home, the Birkheads spoke exclusively about staying out the public eye and how they work to keep Anna Nicole's memory alive.
