The '70s were coming to an end when a babe in the woods named Dorothy Hoogstratten (later shortened to Stratten) was "discovered" by a sleazy hustler and pimp, Paul Snider, at a Dairy Queen in Vancouver, British Columbia. What follows is a brief, whirlwind of a tale about love, control, stardom, and life at Playboy.

Grab your drink and join Kat as you hear all about the ingenue who inspired movies like Star 80 and could have been the next Marilyn Monroe.  Come and explore the dark side of humanity with us!
