The couple's relationship quickly deteriorated, as Snider became prone to fits of jealousy and bizarre, controlling behavior; he constantly took credit for Stratten's fame, stating that he was the reason for her success, and repeatedly attempted to usurp her fame when in the presence of celebrities.

 Galaxina Movie Review | Dorothy Stratten | Avery Schreiber | DVD Movie Reviews | Bad Movies | Cinema de Merde
I knew nothing about it, but saw the title, that it was the only film role for Playboy Playmate of the Year [whatever year] Dorothy Stratten, and that it was put out by Rhino, so I hauled off and bought it.
She is pretty and has a great body, showcased throughout, but it seems odd for a movie which seems to exist mostly to highlight her and her charms, that she remains fully covered throughout and doesn’t really even do much that’s outwardly sexy.
Stratten is the subject of Bob Fosse’s Star 80, which is now comfortably ensconced in my rental list.
