Playboy’s 1980 Playmate of the Year, Dorothy Stratten, had just finished production on her first major film, she had the world at her feet, a small town Canadian girl who left Canada working at a fast food joint and came to the states and in just over two years she was dining with Hollywoods most influential and powerful men.
What happened? The 20-year-old's body was found raped and beaten, her face blasted to pulp and bone by a shotgun. The blonde beauty with and equal amount of shyness and ambition was gone. Her story left America wondering if Playboy and its for Nader Hugh Hefner was to blame. A girl who many say swam with the sharks, married to her manager , dating Hugh Hefner and in love with Hollywoods hottest film Director Peter Bogdanovich what could go wrong?
Stratten met Paul Snider, a small-time promoter and pimp who charmed her over the counter at the Dairy Queen restaurant she was working at. Her innocent face and demeanour and mature body were captivating, and Snider quickly realized he'd stumbled upon someone with potential to make him allot of money . He convinced her to pose for a nude photo shoot, forging the underage girls mothers signature to get permission then sent the pictures off to Playboy magazine . Shortly after that, editors selected her Playmate of the Month for August 1979.
As Stratten shot to stardom and started mixing with Hollywood’s elite , Snider knew his golden goose was slipping away and he grew obsessive. Snider controlled her finances and real estate and even determined who she'd need to sleep with to further her career and she in the beginning obeyed but she outgrew the cheap hustler and stated hanging with the big boys and it cost her , her life.
