—The tragic fate of Playboy stars —
（）
When Dorothy Straten was a young waitress before becoming famous, she met her "prince" by chance, which opened her path to the world of stardom and wealth.
In a few months, she went from being an ordinary waitress to a Hollywood star. Producers offered her plenty of shooting opportunities, and world film critics predicted she would be the next Marilyn Monroe. However, all dreams are suddenly shattered by the early death of the blonde at the hands of the "prince", and the husband turns out to be a monster.
Dorothy Strateng
Dorothy Strateng, who attended high school in the Canadian town of Coquitlam, couldn't even imagine that she would one day be on the cover of a major men's magazine.
Dorothy was a hardworking student and delighted her parents with excellent grades. The young beauty dreams of getting a good education and moving to Vancouver.
Dorothy was born into a poor family, so she had to work and study from an early age. She is a waitress at a local restaurant. Coincidence or fate, one day her partner had something to do, and she was forced to work for her ...
It was on this day that she met the man who would later become her mentor, agent, producer, as well as her husband and murderer.
Half an hour before closing, Paul Snyder, a charming photographer well known in show business at the time, stopped by to visit the café where Dorothy worked.
Behind the counter, he noticed the young and charming Dorothy and offered to talk to her. When the chat ended, Paul didn't have a small amount of money in his checkout wallet, and the girl happened to have no change.
Paul suggested that the waitress keep the extra money for herself as a tip, and in return, Dorothy needed to date him. Faced with such a gentleman man, Dorothy agreed without hesitation.
The Road to Glory
For dinner, Paul took Dorothy to one of the most expensive restaurants in town. He was funny and humorous, like a true prince, and was favored by Dorothy.
Paul further confirmed that the naïve blonde saw great modeling potential in her and was convinced that a dizzying career awaited her.
In his mind, the man made a plan on how to turn Dorothy into a star. He wanted to help the girl become famous for a reason: the crafty photographer wanted to get rich by promoting Dorothy in show business.
Dorothy asked Paul to shoot a photo of her, and Paul planned to send some of the best episodes to the editors of Playboy magazine.
At first, the girl did not believe that such a large publication might be interested in her photos, but she decided to try her luck anyway. As a result, the photos were so successful that Dorothy was invited to Los Angeles.
However, in order to contract with Playboy, underage models must obtain permission from their parents. The girl understands that her parents will reject her. Paul then suggested that she forge a signature on the document and sneak to Hollywood.
Dorothy packed her bags and entrusted her life to a strange but charismatic photographer to head to the City of Angels.
Get carried away by success
Dorothy has almost all the necessary requirements for a successful model. Tall (height 175cm), feminine, attractive, ideal ratio of 91-61-91.
However, she captivated everyone not only with her beauty, but also with her modesty, upbringing, and graceful demeanor.
Dorothy said in an interview: "Appearance is temporary, it does not reflect a person's inner world. Usually good-looking men are vain. Maybe women too. I wish I wasn't that kind of person! ”
From the first day of her stay in Los Angeles, shoots rained down on the beauty. Playboy issue after episode is full of pictures of a blonde.
In August 1979 she was named "Girl of the Month" and in 1980 "Miss Playmate", in other words, she was named Star of the Year of the world's major men's magazines.
Dorothy's growing fame and expenses increased with it, much to the particular delight of her patron and lover, Paul. That's right, not for long...
The girl began to be invited to appear in movies. First, she gets an episodic role, then the main role in the fantasy comedy "Space Warrior", in which she plays a sexy robot who roams the vast universe in search of adventure.
While Dorothy is immersed in the luxurious world of film and show business. At a party, she met producer and director David Palmer. The man is captivated by the beauty and elegance of the rising star and pays meticulous attention to her.
But Paul will not abandon the "plan" he brings to people and succeeds. Paul didn't find a better way to keep Dorothy than if she became a wife.
Friends and acquaintances tried to dissuade Dorothy from getting married, but she still felt obligated even though she lost interest in her lover. In order to "pay off the debt", the girl said to Paul "Yes!" ", didn't even think that agreeing would kill her.
Trouble in heaven
Dorothy no longer needed an agent and climbed the career ladder alone. Paul had no job and lived off his wife. Even with his passport stamped, Paul did not calm down and continued to arrange everything for his wife.
He hired a private investigator to follow Streighten as she went to film. By the way, he paid for the "spy" service from the wallet of his beloved.
Since ancient celebrity scandals, the unemployed photographer forbade his wife to wear revealing clothing and communicate with men, including work colleagues. For this reason, several times he even hit Dorothy, and the girl could no longer bear her husband's temper and moved further and further away from him.
In 1980, the actress was invited to star in the film They All Laughed, which was directed by Peter Bogdanovich, with whom Dorothy began a fiery romance during production. The girl did not want to deceive her husband and her beloved man, so she confessed everything to her husband and filed for divorce.
Heartbroken, Paul refused a friendly divorce from his wife. While Dorothy tries to achieve her goals through court, Paul is preparing a plan to kill his unfaithful wife.
Sad ending
On August 14, 1980, Paul tricked his wife into coming to his home. He promised that he would sign the divorce papers, but instead he waited for his wife with a 12-caliber gun he had bought the day before.
Dorothy came to Paul without doubt.
According to friends, the actress feels guilty about her husband and hopes that the two can continue to be friends. Therefore, she was ready to leave all her marital property to him.
But as a result, Paul shot his wife and then raped her body. Paul came back to his senses, shocked by what he had done, and finally hit himself in the head with a bullet and fell breathless next to the body of his beloved.
Dorothy's friends were unable to contact Dorothy, so they went to the photographer's house, where they found their dead spouse at Paul's house.
After Dorothy's death, Peter Bogdanovich received a very big blow, because director Peter became the only person to see more than just a sexual object in Dorothy.
Later, in an interview, he said: "She sees the world with love and tenderness, believing that people on earth are good, even notorious villains are good and pure." But the harsh life proved that she was wrong. ”
