The true story of the tragedy of Playboy Playmate Dorothy Stratten. She was discovered as a teenager in Vancouver by Paul Snider, who became her boyfriend. Snider mailed photos he had taken of her to Playboy, resulting in her being offered to pose as a Playmate and eventually becoming the 1980 Playmate of the Year. As Dorothy’s star started to rise and she was offered film parts, Snider’s various business ventures started to go under and he became increasingly more controlling and jealous of her, culminating in her murder and his suicide.
Star 80 is one genuinely creepy and disturbing movie. This is not a movie for everybody. If you want to see a bubble-headed bimbo bounce around the Playboy mansion, watch The Girls Next Door. If you want to see a movie about obsession and depraved madness that pulls absolutely zero punches, check out Star 80 instead.
