Star 80 tells the tragic true tale of how Playboy Playmate of the Year Dorothy Stratten was murdered by her estranged husband, Paul Snider. The 1983 film is notable for having been shot in the actual house in which Stratten was murdered, and for its unrelenting look at the darker side of celebrity culture. Starring an on-form Mariel Hemingway as Stratten and Eric Roberts in one of his finest ever performances as Snider, Star 80 is an unnervingly dark dramatisation of the Pullitzer Prize-winning article "Death of a Playmate." It might not be the light, cheesy entertainment that is most commonly associated with 80s Hollywood, but it's a totally unforgettable, wholly adult experience. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wEXOAULm-Xk
