The murder of Dorothy Stratten, a rising star and Playboy Playmate, in August 1980, is a tragic and infamous case in Hollywood history. Stratten, born Dorothy Ruth Hoogstraten, was only 20 years old at the time of her death and was becoming a notable figure in the entertainment industry, both as a model and an actress.

The events leading to Stratten's murder involved her estranged husband, Paul Snider, a nightclub promoter and her former manager, who had discovered her and played a key role in her early career. Their relationship began when Stratten was 17, and they married in 1979. However, as Stratten's career blossomed, their marriage became strained, and she became romantically involved with film director Peter Bogdanovich.

On August 14, 1980, Stratten was found dead at a house in West Los Angeles. The investigation revealed that Snider had raped and murdered Stratten with a shotgun before taking his own life with the same weapon. The murder-suicide was a shocking event that garnered widespread media attention and public shock, highlighting the darker side of fame and the exploitation often faced by young women in the entertainment industry.

The crime scene photo below is a fake that was created for a Penthouse ad having a poke at playboy in nice and gruesome way.

The crime scene photo featured here is not a real image of Dorothy and Snider. It was an ad for Hustler magazine.

Nice tits, nice ass in the "crime scene" photo and, wow, that's a lot of blood.

Look into Peter Bogdanovich pursuing her sister who was @11 or 12 and they even got married later

I was a model and had one particular boyfriend who got really seriously 'stupid' one night.

The moment we met he made it very clear that he thought woman should be subservient to men.

I lived with my mom and dad until I got married, so thankfully, I was never alone, (in my bedroom) with him really, because my mom and dad were 'VERY STRICT.'

The few times we did date, we would always meet with friends at the movies or double dated.

But he did have me alone in his car.

I'd done a 'shoot' semi naked (very slightly topless) and he found out through a gir friend of mine. When he asked me about it, in his car, the following evening, I was honest to the T, and I told him it was a 'partial topless' shoot. (Meaning bottoms on but top partially off, showing a little areola, but no actual nipple).

I hadn't even gotten all the words out when he backhanded me across my face so hard I saw black and shooting lights, like stars in a black sky. Blood gushed out of my nose and I was soon covered in it. He went berserk...

He preached to me while driving down 'Courtenay Street' towards my house in Fancourt, he backhanded me again.

This guy called me everything under the sun. I was in a situation that I swore I would never be in again. I was TERRIFIED. I also knew he 'carried' and that was what was now first and foremost in my mind.

I prayed like I've never prayed before, and I apologised profusely, over and over again. I told him that he 'REALLY needed to quietly drop me off because if my dad saw me... he'd kill him.' He ended up leaving me at the top of my driveway with him saying "I'm so sorry baby...please forgive me, please, don't tell your dad!!" I was saying "I forgive you, just please...dont let my dad see you with me like this." (I promised I wouldn't tell my dad it was him)

I saw him 'out and about' after that, but he never came up to me again. He'd send messages through common friends, and I got flowers and a card once at work... but I gave him the freezing cold shoulder after that.

I recon that if I'd been belligerent, argumentative and belittling to him in this circumstance, I think this situation would have been alot worse than it was.

Terrible situation to be in. I remember my entire body shaking. I was a total mess and I didnt date anyone for a very long time after that.

Ladies, be very careful out there.
