A reprint is a re-publishing of material that has already been previously published. The word reprint is used in many fields.

Academic publishing[link]

In academic publishing, reprints are customized bulk article reproductions of material usually previously published in academic journals. Reprints from scientific, technical, and medical (STM) journals, in particular, are heavily used to generate awareness and interest across many audience types - referrers such as physicians, consumers, investors, and others. Reprints are traditionally ordered directly from a publisher; However, service providers also exist, serving as an intermediary that makes the procurement processes more efficient by providing a single source to support the procurement process regardless of the copyright owner. Often, these providers provide other services and technology solutions to support ordering by individuals, groups, and organizations such as health care companies.

Book publishing[link]

In book publishing, if a reprint has been revised from an earlier version, it is usually referred to as a new edition rather than a reprint.

Collectible card games[link]

In collectible card games, a reprint is a card published in an earlier card set which is published again in a new card set. Often, the art on the card may be changed, or the text updated to reflect new errata.

Comic books[link]

Publishers will reprint classic comic books from years or even decades ago, often restoring the art with newer techniques. The reprints may be standalone comic books, compilation trade paperbacks, or back-ups in other comic books.

Comic books which sell out may be given a second (or more) printing in order to bring more copies to the distributor.

Career[link]

Modeling[link]

Smith started modeling by age 16. As a teenager she traveled to Paris, France, where she worked as a model throughout Europe for four years. Her breakthrough came when her naturally blonde hair was dyed red, giving her a strong resemblance to 1940s and '50s movie star Rita Hayworth.^[2] Smith appeared in back-to-back issues of the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue, and became Esquire magazine's first Vargas Girl of the 1990s. She also became the first model of the Wonderbra campaign. She later posed for photographer Helmut Newton for a Wolford advertising campaign, and was the model for the 2002 lingerie campaign for Venus Victoria, the European sister company to Victoria's Secret.^[3]

Smith has appeared on the covers of the fashion magazines and women's magazines Vogue, Elle, Cosmopolitan and Marie Claire, among others, and was the cover girl for the March 1995 issue of Playboy. She has appeared in advertising for L'Oréal makeup, Buffalo Jeans, Camel cigarettes, Kahlúa liqueur, Volkswagen automobiles, and Panama Jack, among others, and has walked the runway for such fashion designers as Chanel and Jean Paul Gaultier.^[4]

Acting[link]

Smith was cast in her first film role in Paul Mazursky's Faithful, on a referral from Robert DeNiro that stemmed from her Casino auditions.^[5] She also appeared in The Funeral, directed by Abel Ferrara, and Barbra Streisand's The Mirror Has Two Faces. She played Susan Lefferts, a Rita Hayworth lookalike, in Curtis Hanson's L.A. Confidential. Smith's resemblance to Hayworth came into play again with a role in HBO's cable telefilm The Rat Pack. She also had a role in American Beauty. Her biggest role to date has been as the star of the Cinemax TV series Sin City Diaries, which debuted in 2007. She played Angelica, a Las Vegas entertainment consultant who plans activities for casinos' high-roller guests. Overall, she has played various roles in several 1990's feature films and television series. Since 2000, she has appeared primarily in films.

Reality television appearances[link]

Smith appeared as a cast member during the second season of the VH1 television show Celebrity Rehab, which depicted her 16-year struggle with opiate and alcohol addiction.^[6] She subsequently appeared in the 2009 series Sober House, a Celebrity Rehab spin-off focusing on a sober living environment.^[7] She subsequently appeared in the 2009 VH1 series Sex Rehab with Dr. Drew. During these appearances, she recounted hers and her mother's histories with addiction and co-dependency, which began when Smith was a teenager,^[8] and how her experiences with date rape and prostitution played a part in those addictions.

That same year, Smith and other alumni of Celebrity Rehab appeared as panel speakers to a new group of addicts at the Pasadena Recovery Center. Her appearance, which marked a year and a half of sobriety for her, was aired in the third season episode "Triggers".^[6]

Personal life[link]

In a January TV Guide story on Celebrity Rehab, Dr. Drew Pinsky stated she was living with her mother in Los Angeles, and "doing stupendous work...She's someone who reaches out and is an inspiration and of service to other patients."^[9]

Legal matters[link]

Smith's name surfaced in connection with the January 2008 bankruptcy of the entertainment payroll firm Axium. A lawsuit alleged the company's partners misused funds by renting a Los Angeles, California apartment for Smith, paying for her car and issuing "numerous large payments" to Smith, which they explained by calling her a "consultant" to the company.^[10][11]
