Car was smoking, added anti-freeze. Shortly after the battery light came on. I was able to drive it about a mile home but all the exterior electrical shut off and basically I was driving it while it was shut off. Now it doesn't start.

Sounds like the alternator went bad could have caused the overheating possible also. The first thing I would do is have the battery charged and tested. Do you have a multi meter to do some testing also?
