Dorothy Stratten – Crime Scene Photos
Dorothy Stratten was born in Vancouver, British Columbia as Dorothy Hoogstratten. When barely 17, she was spotted working in a Canadian Dairy Queen fast-food restaurant by Paul Snider, nine years her elder. Snider saw the beautiful girl’s face and and just knew he could make her into a star. Turns out he was right. But unfortunately for Dorothy, he was right.
After beginning a relationship with Dorothy, he finally convinced her that she would be great as a Playboy model and that she could become rich and famous if she could get comfortable taking her clothes off for the camera. At first, the shy girl-next-door shrugged off the notion, but Snider, the greasy devil he was, finally convinced her to pose for his camera. After amassing a small personal collection of nude photos of Dorothy, Snider then sent them to Playboy Magazine in Los Angeles, specifically to the home of Hugh Hefner. Heffy liked and after only two days of ogling her shots, called for the young Hoogstratten. Snider’s plan was now set in motion, and unbeknownst to her, Dorothy’s life was on a collision course with danger.
In seemingly no time at all, Dorothy, after changing her surname to Stratten, became quite the hot ticket around ‘ol Hef’s mansion. This didn’t set too well with Snider however and he soon decided he wanted a piece of the action, since he was, after all, the one that sent Dorothy’s pics to Hefner in the first place. Snider would introduce himself to Hefner as Dorothy’s manager, but magazine magnate could see right through Snider’s oily facade and came to loathe the guy.
Meanwhile, Dorothy’s fame was soaring ever higher and higher. Her photo shoot at Playboy was a hit and she would eventually go on become the October ’79 Playboy Playmate and word around the mansion was that she was being mentioned as becoming the Playmate of the Year and perhaps even the Playmate of the Quarter-Century.
