Starring Mariel Hemingway, Eric Roberts, and Cliff Robertson.
Based on the 1981 Pulitzer Prize-winning Village Voice article “Death of a Playmate” by Teresa Carpenter and directed by Oscar, Emmy and Tony Award winner Bob Fosse (“Cabaret,” “All That Jazz”), this is the gripping true story of Dorothy Stratten, a rising young star and Playboy Playmate of the Year who was tragically murdered by her estranged husband, the small-time hustler who discovered her. Academy Award nominee Mariel Hemingway (“Personal Best,” TV’s “Civil Wars”) stars with Eric Roberts (“Final Analysis,” “The Specialist”), who garnered a Golden Globe nomination for his role as the volatile husband, and Academy Award winner Cliff Robertson as Playboy magnate Hugh Hefner. The New York Post calls this stylish film “one bruising blockbuster of a motion picture… powerful, harrowing, deeply affecting… unforgettable.”
