Summary

Nineteen eighty was going to be Dorothy Stratten’s year. Playboy’s Hugh Hefner thought it might even be her decade. She was just 20 years old, the girl next door with the shy smile and whispery voice who didn’t know her own beauty. But who was Dorothy really? And how did her rise to fame ultimately lead to her death? This is a six-part series about love, sex and murder in 1970s Hollywood when glitter pants and roller skates were all the rage, and the Playboy mansion hosted the biggest party in town. Listen today at http://wondery.fm/Starlet_CupofMurder December 8th: Nathan Miles Gale Kills (2004) When a celebrity dies, a world mourns. We may not know that person in real life, but they undoubtedly were there during a hard time. Whether it be a song that got you through a break up, a movie that made you laugh when you needed it most, or a performance that touched you and made you feel understood. On December 8th 2004 a musician was killed while performing on stage and the world of metal would never be the same.
