Ever see "At Long, Last, Love" ? "Daisy Miller" ? Bogdanovitch kept trying to make a star out of her and making one bad movie after another. The studio precondition for backing "Nickleodeon" was... no Cybil Shepherd.

And Dorothy Stratten's husband was a hustler, pure and simple. Dorothy realized he was small potatoes and dumped him.

Dorothy Stratton was only a high school drop out working as a waitress in a Vancouver diner when she was spotted by one of Heff's sub-procurors. Invited to Hollywood to be a Playmate, she lived in Heff's mansion where he filled her head with dreams of stardom, money and easy street while he groomed her for her real role - mistress for one of Heff's many male friends who come to his monthly party to pick over the new stock. Heff had no time for minor details like marriages and the like and so he put her in a dangerous situation with a jealous husband. All the post murder blather about her husband being a worthless con artist is just so much spin to absolve them of their role in her death. Heff and Bogdanovitch thoughtlessly killed her as surely as if they helped her husband load the gun.
