TW: mentions of graphic violence, sexual assault

Audrey and Louise continue their Rising Starlets and the Exploitational Biopic series with a discussion about Playboy Playmate and actress Dorothy Stratten, who was brutally murdered at the age of 20. We talk about the films that she appeared in as well as two movies about her life that were released in the early '80s.

Topics include Dorothy's relationships with three key men in her life (Paul Snider, Hugh Hefner, and Peter Bogdanovich) and how they were portrayed in the biopics, our thoughts on Playboy and how Dorothy's involvement impacted her career, the uncomfortable voyeurism in They All Laughed and how it reflects Bogdanovich's strange obsession with Dorothy, roles we would like to have seen her play, and much more.
