Death of a Starlet
Description
In August of 1980, Playboy Playmate Dorothy Stratten was found dead at just 20 years old. She was the girl next door with the shy smile and whispery voice who didn’t know her own beauty. To Hugh Hefner, she was his next Marilyn Monroe. To famed director Peter Bogdonovich, she was his muse. And to her husband, Paul Snider, she was his ticket to fame and fortune. All three ambitious men adored her. Only one of them murdered her. How did Dorothy’s Hollywood dreams lead to her death?
From Wondery, and the team behind the hit series Hollywood & Crime (The Dating Game Killer, The Wonderland Murders) comes a six-part series about love, sex and murder. Co-hosted by Tracy Pattin and Josh Lucas.

Right. Right, gotcha!
love listening to Josh Lucas. Amazing show, very well done
Wondery never ceases to amaze me with their podcasts and production.. and I really want to root for the little guy, the little podcaster in their basement cranking our a passion project with a few friends. but you guys' stuff, is SO fucking good. I can think of one of your productions that I was disappointed with .
Why is it that so often no-good scumbag losers snuff out the life of beloved, good and talented people with so much promise? Another wonderful show from Wondery - excellent writing, as always, and brilliant delivery, especially by Josh Lucas. Can we please hear more from him??
Very interesting and well produced.
Thank you Mo
I left a flower on her grave last summer. I learned of her when the movie Star 80 came out and instantly loathed that scumbag. She had a life ahead of her that none could even imagine. This is beyond a tragic loss.
Such a sad and heartbreaking ending...
Love the show but can't get episode 6 to come up. Episode 5 finishes then it jumps back to episode 4. Please help...I have tried numerous times.
dude sounds like Jimbo.
This show is absolutely fantastic! I literally just crushed four episodes, or four hours, in a row. You know when you are watching or listening to a great story and production when over three hours and fifty minutes seemingly fly by, in what feels like a mere moment (so to speak). After episode four wrapped up, I was literally hanging on the edge of my seat, and drooling for the last two parts of this series (episodes 5+6}. Great show, story and script. I highly recommend listening to this one. Especially if you're in a podcast rut and have no clue what to listen for/about next. WONDERY, they are masters of the Podcast craft. I realize that not everyone will like their entire catalog of products, but this series [storyline] is right up there with the top 10 of Wondery's collection of original production audio dramas.
Apart from the other thing.. makes wonderful imagination..
I'll listen just to hear josh lucas as narrator...
Josh Lucas has the best voice!
