Some might say 40-year-old Lana Clarkson was born with stars in her eyes. She dreamt of the kind of fame that would honor her natural abilities. She also wore her heart on her sleeve - her desire to become a big-time Hollywood actress was apparent to anyone she encountered. Lana’s pursuit of success made her vulnerable to the most sinister of predators. A single night in February 2003 would shatter Lana’s world and all who cared for her. Lana’s murder led to two highly publicized Hollywood trials at which the defendant, world famous music producer Phil Spector, wore outlandish outfits and wigs as if it was his own personal circus.
