At 20 years old, Dorothy Stratten appeared to be living out the kind of Hollywood dream countless young women imagined for themselves.
She had arrived in Los Angeles as a shy teenager from Vancouver and, within only a few years, transformed into one of the entertainment industry’s most promising new faces.
After being named Playmate of the Year for 1980, Stratten began moving beyond modeling and into mainstream film, landing the title role in Galaxina and working alongside Audrey Hepburn in director Peter Bogdanovich’s They All Laughed.
