Dorothy Stratten will be
America's dream girl, the Playmate of the Year. But the camera
snapping her beauty doesn't capture the whole story. Out of
view is Paul Snider, the man who steered Dorothy to
stardom...and finally killed her. Bob Fosse's Star 80 is their
spellbinding true story. In the leads, Mariel Hemingway and
Eric Roberts deliver haunting performances. In his films (Cabaret, Lenny, All That Jazz), Fosse
unblinkingly explored lurid subworlds of glitter and
seduction. In common with these, Star 80, based in part on
Teresa Carpenter's Pulitzer Prize-winning article "Death
of a Playmate," has the white heat of unforgettable
filmmaking.
"Star 80" was
Bob Fosse's last film. He died from a heart attack in 1987!!
