	Black Dahlia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Elizabeth Short, better known as the Black Dahlia, was the victim of an infamous murder in 1947.
		The Black Dahlia murder investigation by the LAPD was the largest since the murder of Marian Parker in 1927, and involved hundreds of officers borrowed from other law enforcement agencies.
		Bob Belden's 2001 CD Black Dahlia draws inspiration from the case for a moody, noir score divided into 12 sections depicting her life, on a par with Jerry Goldsmith's score for Chinatown and David Shire's music for the film Farewell, My Lovely.

	Rose McGowan Online - The Black Dahlia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
		Loosely based on the notorious 1940s murder case James Ellroy’s ‘The Black Dahlia’ tells the story of two L.A.P.D. cops, Bucky Bleichert and his partner, Lee Blanchard, whose personal lives turn to tatters when the body of Elizabeth Short, an engagingly beautiful and promiscuous woman in her 20s, is discovered in a vacant lot.
		Ellroy’s novel, The Black Dahlia, is not based on anything more than a few simple facts, and his portrayal of Elizabeth Short is by in large a work of fiction; to this story Short is merely a tool to weave the tale around.
		Many stand firm on their belief that the novel is a smear on Elizabeth’s name; maybe out of concern for the perceptions of those that have neglected to look up the word “fiction” in the dictionary.

	Review of THE BLACK DAHLIA by James Ellroy
		The Black Dahlia, the first volume in Ellroy’s “LA Quartet,” is a dark and twisted masterwork that is, as the author brags, guaranteed to leave you “reamed, steamed and dry-cleaned.” This is a novel that runs the emotional gamut from the perverse and the repulsive to the poignant, eloquent and the sublime.
		The tortured and mutilated body of wannabe actress and semi-pro hooker Elizabeth Short – dubbed the “Black Dahlia” by the press – is found in a vacant lot at the corner of 39th Street and Norton.
		While Ellroy’s novel is set against the backdrop of this real-life mystery, the book is less about the Black Dahlia investigation than it is about the two men who are sucked into the case – body and soul – the way light is captured by a fl hole.

		Though Knowlton and Newton present several well-known facts of The Black Dahlia case and other going-ons of the LAPD during this high-crime decade, most anything stated is completely one-sided.
		A section on The Black Dahlia gives a brief synopsis of the case and beliefs, as well as rumors about her name and other aspects.
		Altough the name Black Dahlia is not mentioned in the film, some facts of the crime (for example: dead body found in two parts) are similar to the Black Dahlia case.

		Dubbed "The Black Dahlia" by the press, the victim becomes an obsession for two LAPD cops, narrator Dwight "Bucky" Bleichert and his partner, Lee Blanchard, both ex-boxers who also happen to be best friends and in love with the same woman.
		Whereas horror and evil in those novels is embodied by Dudley Smith, in the Black Dahlia the horror seeps out of the body itself, corrupting all who come near her.
