Dorothy Stratten: Playboy Playmate Murder, Obsession & a Hollywood Tragedy | True Crime

Dorothy Stratten had everything Hollywood promised: beauty, fame, a Playboy Playmate of the Year title, and a career that seemed ready to explode. But behind the glamorous photoshoots and rising celebrity was a relationship marked by jealousy, control, and obsession.
In this episode of That’s Disturbing, Daphne and Gayle dive into the true crime story of Dorothy Stratten, her rapid rise from a small-town teenager to Playboy star, her relationship with Paul Snider, and the horrifying events that led to her murder at just 20 years old.
We’re talking Hollywood ambition, possessiveness, fame, manipulation, and one of the most tragic celebrity murder cases of the 1980s. If you love true crime, creepy stories, Hollywood scandals, and disturbing real-life cases, this is one you won’t forget.

And as a bonus, some very opinionated four-legged co-hosts joined us for this one—so please enjoy the occasional snorts, shakes, and aggressive parkouring of Alex, Groot, and Peaches in the background. Apparently, silence was not in their contracts.
