DEATHIVERSARY: DOROTHY STRATTEN (August 14, 1980)

On August 14, 1980, Playboy Playmate Dorothy Stratten was murdered at the age of 20 by her estranged husband, manager, and all-around sleaze bag Paul Snider, who committed suicide beside Stratten in the West Los Angeles house they once had shared. Dead in Hollywood: Dorothy Stratten was only my second fanzine issue, and one of my main inspirations for Dead in Hollywood (along with Sal Mineo). Her death has always stayed with me and the fact that the house still looks exactly the same to this day.
