About this movie

Based on the 1981 Pulitzer Prize-winner and directed by Oscar, Emmy and Tony Award-winner Bob Fosse ("Cabaret," "All That Jazz"), this is the gripping true story of Dorothy Stratten, a rising young star and Playboy Playmate of the Year who was tragically murdered by her estranged husband, the small-time hustler who discovered her. Academy Award-nominee Mariel Hemingway ("Personal Best," TV's "Civil Wars") stars with Eric Roberts ("Final Analysis," "The Specialist"), who garnered a Golden Globe nomination for his role as the volatile husband, and Academy Award-winner Cliff Robertson as Playboy magnate Hugh Hefner. The New York Post calls this stylish film "one bruising blockbuster of a motion picture... powerful, harrowing, deeply affecting... unforgettable."
