DEATHIVERSARY: DOROTHY STRATTEN (August 14, 1980)

On August 14, 1980, Playboy Playmate Dorothy Stratten was murdered at the age of 20 by her estranged husband, manager, and all-around sleaze bag Paul Snider, who committed suicide beside Stratten in the West Los Angeles house they once had shared. Dead in Hollywood: Dorothy Stratten was only my second fanzine issue, and one of my main inspirations for Dead in Hollywood (along with Sal Mineo). Her death has always stayed with me and the fact that the house still looks exactly the same to this day.

ISSUE No. 1: Sal Mineo

Hollywoodโ€™s โ€˜First Gay Teenager,โ€™ Sal Mineo, was born on this day in 1939. Ahead of his time and taken way too soon. Sal was the youngest person nominated for an Academy Award for 1955โ€™s โ€œRebel Without a Causeโ€ where Sal played Plato, a lonely gay teenager in 1950โ€™s America. He was nominated once again a few years later for his role in โ€œExodusโ€ - the epic film on the founding of the modern State of Israel. By the early 1960s, Sal was becoming too old to play the type of role that had made him famous, and his rumored homosexuality led to his being considered inappropriate for leading roles. Sal's last role in a motion picture was a small part in the film Escape from the Planet of the Apes (1971); he played the chimpanzee, Dr. Milo. In a 1972 interview, Sal openly discussed his bisexuality. At the time of his murder, he was in a six-year relationship with male actor Courtney Burr III. On the night of February 12, 1976, the actor returned home following a rehearsal for the play P.S. Your Cat Is Dead. After parking his car in the carport below his West Hollywood apartment, the 37-year-old was stabbed once in the heart by a mugger who quickly fled the scene. Police pursued multiple leads but assumed the crime to be the result of some sort of โ€œhomosexual motivation.โ€ In March of 1979, Lionel Ray Williams was sentenced to 57 years in prison for both killing Mineo and committing ten robberies in the same area. Lionel was paroled in the 1990s. CLICK HERE for the issue that started it all DEAD IN HOLLYWOOD: SAL MINEO (Issue no. 1).

COMING ATTRACTIONS!

What movies are you watching to pass the time? L.A. has just gone into another lockdown. This was will last until December 28th, but Iโ€™m sure it will be longer. When I look out my dining room window, I still see a lot of cars on the street. Back to work on the next issue of Dead in Hollywood! Who knows this Latin Loverโ€™s story?

6,390 words and hundreds of photos later...

DEAD IN HOLLYWOOD: THELMA TODD - ICE CREAM BLONDE (Issue 16).

CLICK HERE for your copy! This issue features 36 full-color pages of mystery and intrigue with a ton of original photos - youโ€™ll see nowhere else - of the many Thelma Todd landmarks including the garage where she died.
