Music producer Phil Spector, charged with fatally shooting actress Lana Clarkson, appears for a hearing in Los Angeles Superior Court, Sept. 26, 2005. For decades, famed music producer Phil Spector was a recluse, hiding in his hilltop castle from the Hollywood spotlight. Then a B-movie actress was shot and killed there, and Spector could no longer avoid the headlines. In the four years since the death of Lana Clarkson, Spector and his lawyers have claimed that she shot herself, either in an accident or a suicide. (AP Photo/Nick Ut, File)
