- The murder of rising star Dorothy Stratten sent shock-waves across the united states. The 20-year-old had an explosive rise to fame, going from Dairy Queen to Playboy Playmate of the year in less than 2 years. Though her big break came through glamour modeling, Dorothy had her eyes set on the silver screen, sadly her life was cut short before she could realize her dreams when she was murdered by her husband, Paul Snider.
In this true-crime short, we look at her life and tragic murder.

The older I get the younger 18 looks to me. Most 18 year olds barely have any life experiences and our brains aren't fully developed until 25-26. What a tragedy.
Yeah and our life heads to 💀.
@@myunknownland9272 Unfortunately, NO ONE can escape that.
Yikes!
Are you scared?
I hope to be in a place soon where I’m not; and soon at that is done-
I have to figure out whether to do what I want, or what is good for my fellow humans and donate my remains…
I just don’t know…
Might I ask what you will be doing?
Thanks for any replies!

*(And now with the current situation!
It seems like EVERY Über driver WILL NOT get vaccinated and the only driver that made any sense to me that if she were to get it, that’s ok, as that was God’s will, and she said she believed she’d go to heaven.)
As a (‘questioning’- wtf?! 😂+🤨+🤔)agnostic, that struck something within me and I have NO IDEA why!!!
I tried to narrow it down to a specific demographic, but I haven’t been able to do that- young, middle age, old, American, Hispanic, Hatian, Venezuelan (we’ve had quite the deluge of them, due to the horrid, corrupt people who run the country- electricity is lost for several days at a time, people are eating stray cats and dogs, limited hospital availability, no medicine, same with the morgue, almost ALL don’t speak nary a word of English) it’s like the Mariel of the 2020’s) it’s just a really bad situation over there, so we’ve had SO VERY MANY- without a demographic that I can tell of ) all of the Über drivers I’ve had in the limited times I’ve gone out.

@@katherinea.williams3044 no way. I'm looking forward to being with my Lord.
@@myunknownland9272 we'll all live longer than you guys think. And the key to this longevity is to not smoke cigarettes. 🔑 🚬 💚
@@nicholasshade Agreed, as I sit here smoking a cigarette! 🚬 It is the worst addiction/habit to have. I'm trying to quit.
A woman who spent her entire life being objectified ends up being killed by a man who considered her a possession. Sad.
It also reminds me of OJ Simpson, OJ saw Nicole as a possession.
Sorry but no. She spent her life making herself an object for gain. In her career and in taking up an affair. She did it to herself and used it as an advantage.
@@thegatorhator6822 tell me you hate women and no one likes you without telling me you hate women and no one likes you 😂😂
@@beccijanemc91 ssshhh no one wants to hear from a future lonely cat lady.
@@thegatorhator6822 There is a big difference between consenting to temporarily selling oneself as a sexual object for money and pleasure, and forcibly being treated and considered as literal property by people in one's life. Are you really equating taking porn pics for Playboy to the behavior of an abusive creep that was so pathetic he couldn't even GTFO of a woman's life gracefully?
Like, 10 million years of evolution and that's all the complexity your little brain can come up with? Sad lmao
Her sad story has, sadly, been told repeatedly far and wide. Trust your fear, ladies.
Her mothers signature was not obtained, it was forged by Snider.
He, was such a weak man. He was nothing without her. What a scum bag. She was so good, kind, loving. She wanted to end thing's fairly. She cared very much about him and what would happen to his future. He never loved her. He loved what she could do for him. And she was still willing to. That still was not enough. Truly evil man.
If Hugh's friends think you're sketchy, you must be hella sketchy.
Fo' shur !
I have an ex partner whom watched a documentary about Hugh Hefner&he told me he thinks he is brilliant&would love to be like him.Maybe that's one of the. reasons he is my ex&apart from always tryn&even demanding money from my person,useiing my credit card illegally,cheating on me with another man,I decided to throw his things that he has been promising to pick up for the past 3months&just being a lying 2faced coward in general,he had taken to threatening 2hit me&calling me degrading names in public&another much younger man witnessed this&heard his threats&told him if he ever heard him either speak like this to me again or ever hit me,that he would "thrash the living hell out of him"&I was taken aback as I was starting to think no one cares&I was starting to get scared as the last time he actually threatened to murder me!!I didn't. mean to get into so much detail,but these are some of the ways these creeps start to become jealous&possessive &next thing your very life is in danger!
@@michellegray9806 ask me this...why in HELL do you women go for guys like that? Is it the money? Or does he have a big Johnson?.🤔
I think the reason girls go for a man like this is because he will come across as seriously, enthusiastically interested in her.
It makes her feel appreciated, and his line of talk will seem to directly counteract mean things that have been said against her in the past, through childhood and early teens.
The girl feels feels past hurts being healed.
She interprets his enthusiasm for her as caring and love.
Unfortunately his enthusiasm is
1. excitement for what he can get, and
2. a manipulative tactic to get her to be his.
A girl that age typically doesn't see this.
inside job it has to be but they keep things quiet in that mansion🤦
Little girl with low self esteem and no man at home to tell Snider get away from my daughter and it was a recipe for disaster and tragedy
Yeah, maybe she did use him as a stepping stone, maybe not. Even if she did, that does not mean it's okay to kill her over that.
I believe Dorothy would have been just as happy working for the telephone company. Before she died, she even offered to drop everything and move back to Vancouver with Snider. Snider nixed this because he wanted his meal ticket
Why did it take me so long to find this channel!?? I love the way you tell the stories I look forward to more!! 😁❤️
#metoo
I was just asking this exact question
Same here!
I even LOVE the channel name!
I’m hooked!
✨Subscribed!✨🖤👌🏼
People like Paul don’t go out alone…they’re too selfish & cowardly. Of course he’d take Dorothy with him. It seems the darkest souls are attracted to the brightest of stars.
RIP Dorothy 🕊
The Bible reads that the darkness is attracted to the light.😮
A school mate of mine lived down the street from where she was murdered. He said she was very kind.
And trusting, apparently
The photo at 1:30… um??? Could your pants be ANY tighter, Dude??? That tells me all I need to know about this dude right there!
Paul was the first predator in Dorothy's really short life. She was a minor when the nude pics of her were taken. Barely even 18 when she became a playmate. Paul & Hugh were the main predators. She was only 20 when she was killed. Paul the director was way older than her. I know legally she was considered an adult but imo he was also a predator. The article that was written about her is disgusting! To blame the victim for her murder especially when she was only 20 & was used by men since she was 17 & the fact that director married her younger sister proves he's a predator & extremely obsessed with Dorothy. Doesn't sound like his mental health was that good. I feel so bad for Dorothy & her family. So tragic. RIH sweet angel❤
@Dean ok Dean sorry. My bad. I know who that director is I guess the name Paul was stuck in my head but honestly I'm not too worried about getting the name of that weirdo right.
@Dean Are you gonna flip out on the other people that the director Paul or nah
The older I get the younger 18 looks to me. Most 18 year olds barely have any life experiences and our brains aren't fully developed until 25-26. What a tragedy.
i completely agree with you here, hefner was no saint, he was simply a pimp himself but with status, he allowed his playmates to be hoared out to celebs that visited his famous parties at the mansion
As far as I know Bogdanovich loved her very much, he said that in an interview even when he was an elderly man. I wouldn 't consider him a "predator"!
Bogdanovich is one of those predators that the other playmates warned her of . He went on to marry Dorthys' little sister after Dorthys' murder . O M G ! 😲
@Chrissy Rose Exactly & Dorothy unfortunately dated and liked awful men
Bogdanovich was always a creep
@@ellove370 As an exploited teenager she probably didn’t realize there were better guys out there- nice guys don’t go looking for love at playboy with such young girls so she wouldn’t have had a chance to meet any or know any different
Sometimes I think he became a Director just to get laid because other than The Last Picture Show and Paper Moon which both by the way was boring as hell what has he done?????Because compared to Francis Ford Coppola, Brian De Palma, Steven Speilberg, Oliver Stone, and Spike Lee he is totally a Second Rate Director!!!!!
@@servicecorp8056 Hi,yes I agree&a dirty old man to boot!!
Damn. Hard not to think Bogdanovich married the younger sister as sort of a replacement to the original woman he loved.
Or they genuinely fell in love. People needn't be judgmental know-it-alls about the affairs of others they've never met.
After reading Bogdanavichs statement about Dorothy I thought "Wow, that was really touching".
1 Minute later after hearing he then swooped in and got with her little sister...ME "Wait, WTF???"😲😲 LOL
Doesn't mean all that.
He probably loved the family, their outlook on life, their genuine nature. It's as if he wanted to retain a part of Dorothy that way.
So a misogynist article written about her wins a Pulitzer? Where she is seen as an opportunist. Yet all the men who used her for money, her body, and for fame were exonerated. Definitely a sign of those times.
Yeah, I didn't get that either.
She was an opportunist, lol. She almost instantly began an affair for personal gain.
Totally agree , interesting the author thought to victim blame a young woman who was not really more than a teenager
Right? I was like "is this Pulitzer-winner article really victim blaming a woman for the actions of a literal crazed, abusive man? Is this shit really panting a fuckin murderer and rapist as the victim here?"
I'm so happy I wasn't born in those shit years, idk what they were smoking back then but it's absolutely revolting lol
@@DeadKraken Victim Blaming is still pretty common place in conservative countries,mine included but atleast not everyone victim blames here, unlike other countries,but it still exists.
For a brief moment the sun shined on this magnificent young lady…..the world lost something special when Dorothy left it….RIP, you are not forgotten.
A teenage girl never get with a full grown adult men. Yes, these men "groom" young girls so they can manipulate the relationships. I'm a man and I see it all the time.
May her soul rest in peace. Girls please be careful of evil men. Never trust a boy with criminal history. I wish she would have lived a long happy life.
Actress? Not really, she was more famous for being a Playboy Playmate. Everyone in this story was obsessed with her beauty, and was nothing more than a trophy to them. Peter was still lusting for Dorothy by marrying her little sister.
Paul faked the moms signature
Hahaha , Heffner didn't like snyder cuz he was a hustler , it might have been involuntary but that joke was awesome 😆
Just got it, lol.
You didn’t mention the hideous Larry Flynt photo spread after her murder “this is the type of man that reads playboy” with a recreated photo of the death scene! Absolutely disgusting
Said the pot to the kettle!!!
😒
@@alabhaois that doesn’t make sense!
"Star 80" based on this case was a good film of the tragedy. Eric Roberts was quite spot on playing such a disturbed man. Mariel Hemingway shone as a lovely and youth- filled Dorothy. I so enjoy these videos!
👏👏👏
Whoever that woman was who won the Pulitzer about Dorothy Stratton's life should be ashamed of herself! Let's get one thing straight, he was over 7 years older than her, when Paul (the snake) Schneider scoped this young woman out, to make, his low, life selfish, ass, money.
I can't understand why some one didn't challenge this woman who wrote this terrible story, that's not worthy of a Pulitzer.😑🤔
....Or Peabody award?😑
paul was truly evil, what a tragic tale.
Yeah, suggesting she was responsible for her murder is completely tasteless.
More Women's Feminist Privelage used to shade a beautiful girl.
Well you think so with the mentality, knowledge and awareness you have NOW. The Pullitzer winner did the same, with the mentality they had back then, which is why he or she won a Pullitzer. You can't judge the past with the moral standards of present day.
Everything that happened back then obviously reflects the notions of right and wrong of the time, which includes blaming the woman for her own demise and calling her a hungry-fame materialistc whore.
Most of the women back then agreed with the article because of how they were raised and conditioned by society. This women empowerment movement is quite new. Since I'm not that old, I can't really cite older examples of women who tried to defy society standards in mainstream media, but Madonna in her prime was one of them.
One of the reasons they shamed Dorothy was because despite her being objectified and an easy prey to predators, she actually represented women's beauty, sexuality and sexual expression.
Back then most women were sexually repressed and opressed and it was very shameful to be known as a sensual, sexually active woman. You had to be prim, proper, obedient and "respectable".
Madonna defied those standards by being openly, sexually expressive in her performances and songs. She was a trailblazer in that aspect and one of the first, if not the first, to openly sing about sex, masturbation, oral sex, female pleasure (at a time when women orgasming was considered taboo and sex in general was focused on cisgender male pleasure only) and to include sexuality in her performances, such as Like a Virgin at the MTV Awards (I think it was MTV).
She also tried to support the LGBTQA movement.
I remember first reading about this story a couple decades ago, it's still one of the most tragic stories I've ever heard of. She was so naturally beautiful, but so naive, and Snider was such a skank, OF COURSE they were headed for disaster.
Dorothy Stratten was a very very beautiful woman its a shame she hooked up with a scumbag and took her away had she would have lived she would have been very successful Dorothy rest in peace you are a true angel 😇
It was an interesting time to be growing up as a girl. It’s also interesting that young ones today can see immediately what was predatory behaviour, and how women were often exploited, what they don’t understand is how much that was normal, and accepted. You can’t judge then by now, but on the other hand, you wouldn’t have now without then, and the slow push towards progress. I was heartbroken when Dorothy died, she truly was a star.
Women r still exploited every day...it didn't stop with Dorothy.
My God, it is way worse for young people now.
She was stunning. Such a tragedy.
I always have wondered about her mom. How could she not know her daughter would be exploited. Worst Case Scenario is what happened to Dorothy Stratton.
Paul Snider faked her mom's signature for her to pose for Playboy. After that she was pretty much under his control and didn't listen to anyone who told her Paul was no good... so tragic ;(
Stratten
@@mgparis how did he know her signature to begin with?
@@myunknownland9272 I don't know, but since the mother was in Canada, maybe Playboy didn't check?
According to the movie Star 80, her mother did know from the beginning that things wouldn't end well
@@myunknownland9272 Good question. But I think her mother must have signed after all.
This is a cautionary tale never ever meet up with an ex, Dorothy was naive about her ex. Women who get involved with men like "Paul" must realize how truly dangerous these type of men are and what a sister! The sister married Bogdanovich, her sister's boyfriend a No No. You can believe Bogdanovich was checking the sister out too when he dated Dorothy.
That or definitely groomed her since he was in contact with her as she grew up.
Plus paid for plastic surgery
@@AmandaLove-uo2du He gained her complete trust, her story always saddens me and it unfortunately continues to happens over and over😔
Star 80 is an amazing movie with an amazing, Oscar worthy, performance from Eric Roberts who played her deranged husband. That movie, especially the ending, left a lasting impression on me. Between Star 80 and The pope of Greenwich Village, Eric Roberts (Julia's brother) began being compared to De Niro and Paccino... but it was all down him after that, although he's been in hundreds of mediocre films since. Dorthy sounded like a great kid. No one looked at Playboy the same way again after her murder, nor should they have.
I read somewhere that Hefner was a lonely depressed man in the years leading up to his death and stayed in his bedroom most of the time. Also his wife caught him comiting a bestial act with their dog, and when he died, those that found him said he had a look of horror on his face. The man was truly depraved .
He never forgot Dorothy.
Star 80 with Eric Roberts covers this story , directed by Bob Fossey and well worth seeing
Watching her on Johnny Carson you could see she wasn't just your average dumb blonde. She was brilliant in the way she captivated Johnny and left him speechless as she held him and the audience in the palm of her hand. Everyone loved and adored her--even John Ritter loved her to death. She was my generation's Sharon Tate, and like the beautiful starlet who was just on the verge of stardom, Dorothy would meet a tragic end that would forever link her to the crime instead of who she really was.
May she rest in peace.
No, she's wasn't universally dumb, but she was dumb in the place that mattered.
@@Bootmahoy88 Trusting without suspicion isn't dumb. She didn't have the life experience to understand or deal with her situation.
@@davidlynch9049 Yes,as a very young girl I was very pretty&suffered many awful,disgusting&straight out dirty old pervrrts &in a lot of ways I was very intelligent,yet from early abuse¬ being allowed to go out&always told that I was stupid& not to be trusted, I was niave in some worldly ways&this got me into some horrible situations.It was not the ideal childhood.
She was young and naive .. that isn’t dumb.
@@Bootmahoy88 I would love to go back meet you when you were 20, record it, then play it back for you. I bet you'd be stunned at your level of naiveté.
What a strange and twisted tale. Thank you, Paul 👍🏻
Sometimes it’s a curse to be beautiful……she was used by many and didn’t make correct choices thinking everyone is “good”, that’s being young, inexperienced and naïve RIP Dorothy….you deserved much better in life…
If being beautiful is a cross to bear then being ugly is no great honour either. People who go after fame are dense. It brings them nothing but sadness and in the majority of cases, early demise. Tell me one world famous person who is not only alive but happy. Hollywood is the biggest predator of all.
Other Playmates warned her of predators? But…..Hef was a damn predator. 🤔
Another great story 👍🏻 keep them coming !
Since discovering your channel I’ve been bingeing! I have high hopes for you. Keep up the fantastic work.
I’m so sick of the Hugh Hefner exploitation empire. I hope it crashes and burns.
Well unfortunately he died before he could be held accountable.
I think it has. He's been dead for a long time.
Who lends someone a handgun?
I thought it was interesting what the Pulitzer prize writer said about Dorothy; that she used Paul until she got to the Playboy mansion and when she didn't need him anymore cut him off. I hope that wasn't true, but maybe it was. She'd be alive today if she hadn't have gone to meet him at their former home. It was not a wise decision on her part.
Wowwwwzers! Paul turns around and marries her sister after her death?!! Such a crude and twisted act! Smh! Love your channel!
You mean Peter..
Do you know the family? They don't consider it a "crude and twisted act." If you don't know the situation first hand you shouldn't judge so harshly. It's easy to cast aspersions but these are not bad people.
That part took me out..😐
@@eva5601 yep it was Peter Paul was dead
it was a good few years after Dorothy's terrible death. sometimes people who go through trauma often cling to each other as they know that only they understand their grief, coupled with a need to stay close to the memory of their departed loved ones.
I recall They All Laughed ending up in this nether zone of heavy rotation movies on HBO in the early 80s. One of those movies you never watched but had often seen.
Just found this channel and definitely enjoying it, keep up the good work 👏👌🏻!
Welcome aboard! Glad you're enjoying the show :)
8:50 Oh no! A pimp was exploited by a woman he groomed?! ... Actually, I'm okay with that...
[sighs; stopping on the "she'd like to remain his friend"]
some days, i find the true crime stories out there fascinating and enlightening into the human psyche.
but others... i just don't the stomache for the unfairness brought on by some of the human waste out there.
i guess today was of the latter.
Out of all the people in the world the sister had to marry him and he had to marry the sister! Smh!
We think we've come so far since the days of objectifying women, but I was recently watching a British series from the 90s and was floored by the blatant sexism which was acceptable at the time. I also remembered how many jobs I had to quit due to harassment when I was in my 20s. My mother had told me to just smile and ignore it because it was everywhere, but I refused. This was in the 2000s. We're not even free of it yet!
Oh, women are still objectified today, but apparently it's acceptable because the women themselves are putting it all out there for the world to see; a good example are the Kardashian/Jenners.
She really stood no chance, being just barely out of childhood when the predators began to circle. Another tale of how Infidelity always ALWAYS leads to tragedy.
That's a very sinister and threatening comment.
Typical victim blamer excusing abusers.
Love your stories and the way you tell them!!
Then Peter married his younger sister because he’s a deviant
she was another marilyn monroe in the making, innocence with beauty
Sorry, I disagree.
Monroe was anything but innocent…
@@annwilliams6438 Marilyn could sing and dance and had great comedic timing. Dorothy was still very young and at least somewhat naive and we have no idea whether she was a real talent or not since she was tragically murdered. Your point seems to be to put MM down. I doubt Dorothy was innocent at 20 years old in Hollywood. But she did get in over her head.
This was a huge horrific tragedy in my younger years.As a young mother ,I could imagine the type of "creep"he was ..there were many of that sort during that era.I have seen the actual photos of the crime scene and would not recommend seeking them out...this was truly an insane,selfish monster who only sought to use her for a free ride and fame.I wish she had had more support to get rid of him and not tried to be so "nice"...
18 yrs old, pregnant, in the hospital with diabetes, Star 80 comes on, I watch mesmerized at her beauty and innocence and shocked at his anger, he says the line "You and your fucking Aram" or something to that effect, I fall in love with the name and pay the orderly a coke and candy bar to get me a baby name book from the gift shop, the name is in there!!!! My Aram made 35 this year, I've only seen that movie twice, but now as tragic as it is, I'm going to watch again. May Dorothy forever rest in Perfect Peace.
Paul was smart and strapping but used his gifts in slimy, evil ways. Dorothy felt sorry for him and learned her mistake before their first anniversary.
I’ve just discovered your channel and I’m so glad I did. Excellent work. Thank you, subbed!
Thank you! Glad you're liking the content and welcome onboard ;)
@@WellINever you’re very welcome. Absolutely love it!

Poor Dorothy! She was such a sweet beauty. R.I.P. Dorothy. Rest in the arms of Jesus. 😇
What a beautiful woman Dorothy Stratton was, taken way too soon by that murderous physco..RIP.
The writer of the article, Teresa Carpenter, what a victim blaming see you next thursday. It won a pulitzer...laughable, disgusting.
Dorothy played with fire & in the end got burned by it.
Excellent production of her story. Thank you for all you do!
*** Dorothy Stratton is a '❤ true beauty 😍' inside as well as her 😍 gorgeous
physical appearance & there is a memory
of her waiting 😍 on me at the dairy 👸 queen & also talking 👄 to her on the phone 📱 & telling her that I wished her the very best & that I really meant that!!!
Dorothy, like so many others who experienced abuse, deserved so much better. It's heartbreaking to think of what she could've been had she successfully gotten away from that asshat. When Hugh banned Paul from the mansion, that should've been her way out. I just hope she is in a better place, seeing what stories like hers have changed in society. It's not perfect but we've made a good deal of progress for those being abused and stalked to get help and publishing those who do such things before it gets to murder.
Has there ever been anyone in showbiz who *wasn't* thoroughly depraved?
Of course !
There's................, well anyway there's......................................
I'll get back to you later.
Peter Bogdanovich didn't go on to make Paper Moon. It was made nearly a decade before They All Laughed.
Umm no, Dorothy wasn’t the opportunist-Paul, an actual grown ass 26-year-old man was the opportunist when he obviously spotted a pretty young girl who he set out to groom and to make entirely dependent on him. She wasn’t in the wrong because she was 17 when they got together AND he took all her money. She wasn’t an opportunist, she was a beautiful young woman who was trying to escape an obviously abusive marriage, I’m disgusted that glorified tabloid trash of an article won a Pulitzer, that’s disgusting and that definitely isn’t journalism either, it’s an opinionated and misogynistic woman spouting off bs to take advantage of interest in Dorothy’s tragic death. Funny how the writer accused Hefner & playboy of treating women like objects, at least they aren’t the ones victim blaming a young woman who had a piece of shit wannabe pimp masquerading as her husband.
Today she should have been 62 years old. Beautiful Dorothy. RIP Love💖
I used to work for Paul Snider in LA and quit around the time he went up to Canada and met Dorothy. I sure have some stories about him...
Tell them. He's dead.
You totally missed the song 'Cover Girl' by Vancouver group PRiSM (who knew DS Personally), lead singer Ron Tabak's vocals are a wonderful tribute - 'Cover girl you've come a long way, with a Mercedes in the driveway', & - 'She's just a small town girl at heart'. A sad tale, Beautiful song..
I am not buying that Dorothy Stratten was 'destined' to become a big movie star just because she was young and pretty, and that it was all taken away from her because she was murdered. I would buy that about Sharon Tate, but not Dorothy Stratten. Sharon Tate showed real promise as an actress; but I saw "Galaxina" and "They All Laughed," and Stratten was weak at best.
Sharon was a good fit for the campy films if the 60s so she gets a pass. Neither were ever going to be Oscar material but both could've been stars in their own right.
It's prejudgemental to assume a person's measure of success/failure when they were just beginning their career.
We never know another's hidden potential.
Furthermore, a lot of *nobodies* rise to stardom despite a complete lack of talent.
(Violently cough "Kardashians" lol!)
Really enjoy this channel. Looking forward to more.
I know virtually nothing about all of the people involved in this tragedy,
let alone Ms. Stratten herself.
But (evil) people who
use (abuse) others for
entirely pathologically
self-centered reasons
are virtually rife among
the entertainment business.
'Trust' is far more than
a commodity in such
an environment. You
cannot possibly employ
it and survive.
She was very beautiful, but clearly very naive also.
I remember a movie back in the early 80’s called Star-80, it was based on Dorothy Strattons very fast rise to fame as a Playboy model & Playboy Playmate & then her very untimely tragic death caused by her very jealous, dirtbag boyfriend. He shot her then shot himself. I was only about 12 or 13 when the movie aired on Cinemax (or possibly HBO) but I remember how deeply the movie effected me at that age. I feel like it traumatized me to some extent. Odd to see her name mentioned here but only in a 12 minute RUclips video. Should be a 1-2 hr documentary in my opinion. The story definitely deserves it.
Omg i found another great channel!!!!!!
Huge Heffner was right about Snider being a hustler/creep.
Well, it takes one ...
What a tremendous loss. This woman was drop-dead gorgeous and it's no wonder if anybody who would be lucky enough to meet her would equally be lucky to fall madly in love with her. Rest in Piece Dorothy....xoxoxoxo.
Hefner pure. Evil
I read about Dorothy's story once, but it's so much better when narrated in a quiet, classy, British accent. ♥️
Very Sad. A Young Life Cut Short!
How have I never heard of her until now? She was so beautiful.
Oh well, thats what you get when your life revolves around wine women and song. Hedonism breeds degeneracy breeds peril.

very well told story - sans the "padding " most try for too increase revenue ( kudos to you for being above that ) in a lovely and empathetic voice ....thank you
Stratten appeared in an episode of the _Buck Rogers_ TV series as pageant queen "Miss Galaxy". The kind of beauty that makes you go "Wow" on first sight.
Thanks for adding the info. on Bogdanovich. Marrying her sister was a bit creepy, I think.
Just found you and Subscribed .
Well done 👏
Thank you, Nichola! It's really appreciated.
As usual you do a very good video so good to listen to you Eddie
I wonder how many playboy models have been murdered? It seems like a lot. This is truly sad. She trusted that there was some goodness, some civility inside him. He was only a user who saw his meal ticket getting away. So tragic.
RIP Dorothy🕊.
Love your channel!! Wish I could have read what was on her plaque. Unable to see well on pause. But thx for the story on DS.
It is the same old story, many of these beauties ran into psykos who ended up killing them, but how sad it is and always will be, everything start with you and what you are obligated to do in your own life. History repeat again and again, but nobody learn from it, yet every case are sad and often horrible......many crimes are unsolved for the time being,. On the road of fame, it seems that beauty, fame and money are the dominans of their lives, and along the way it will be the dominans from the men, who enter these naive lives.
Hollywood especially are the center of these sad cases, and they have bin going on through the entire 1900 century, still going on. If they dont get killed they commit suicide, and if that's not the case, they die from OD's or drinking.
I can't help thinking why these cases dont die out, it is as being rich, beautiful and famous demands sad endings, some call it destiny, I se a more real picture, a lack of sence, even living on top of the cake.
Never forgotten seeing her for the first time in Playboy....she was the most beautiful girl I had ever seen.

There's something about that era with young women being forced in to porn and prostitution by men exactly liked this.
Look, be honest. She wasn't an actress. Her road to fame was flogging her body, not ability.
Sad ending. He’s a coward. May she Rip Amen 🙏. Great 👍 video friend.
