Dorothy Stratten

Geez. I have just not wanted to come onto this page knowing the sad and tragic circumstances - even though I have been here before. But there have been other places where she shows up and she was so incredibly beautiful - she was in her prime during the initial years of my own early adolescent "discoveries." Although I relied, at that time, on my father's hidden stash of magazines, I do not recall Dorothy in any of them. I have added Dorothy to my "Classic Beauties" list, and I won't debate the aspects of her passing - I am no expert about her history, but I do recognize true beauty when I see it.

indeed. A true classic beauty! There are 2 hollywood films about her life. Jamie Lee Curtis plays her in one of them,believe it or not. In the other film Eric Roberts plays her husband. She was also only the 2nd playmate to be born in the 1960s, first one being Lee Ann Michele in February 1979, who was only 18 days younger than Dorothy, both were Pisces. 2 months later in October Ursula would become the youngest playmate,first one born in 1961.

I didn’t know about JLC playing her, but I do recall the movie Star 80 with Mariel Hemingway which is the one with Eric Roberts. I appreciate the background. Not sure why you got a thumbs down for your comment.

The names of the movies are "Death of a Centerfold" (the one with Jamie Lee Curtis) and "Star 80" (the one with Mariel Hemingway as Dorothy, and Mariel got breast implants for the movie).

If memory serves, Cliff Robertson played Hef in the latter movie, and did a most credible job.

According to the documentary, the head of the Playmates begged the higher-ups to get Dorothy away from her husband and into protective custody.
They never followed up on the accusation, until it was too late.
So, so, gorgeous!!!
Her bubble pictures are incredible!!!

Her death could have been prevented if she stayed in the Playboy Mansion instead of living with Paul.

she was not living with Paul. She went to his place for a talk he wanted. She was in a relationship with Bogdanovich

She then should have gone into Bogdanovic’s custody. It would have been problem solved. So sad…

custody? Do you know what the word means? Only minors go into anyone's custody. She just went to visit him, that's it. People do that all the time. her living with Bogdanovich at the time changed nothing,she was free to visit anyone.

"Only minors can go into anyone's custody."

What about "police custody?"

Research life, EFD. Don't just listen to those voices in your head that tell you what a star you were for the Yankees and how you saved the ISS back in '07.

the context used here was about another guy,not police. Only an absolutely autistic dumbass fails to understand what context the word is used in. Seek help,you gravely need it. People throughout this website, hundreds of people, have over the years told you how they despise you basically. Take a hint,from all of them. It ain't all of them, it's you. You also seem mentally unhinged clearly, seeking and insulting with delusional stuff about Yankees and what not. You consistently obsess about me and couple of others, seek them out to reply to them when they don't even talk to you or reply to you. It's cringeworthy and embarrassing, you need psychiatric assessment
