Talk:Dorothy Stratten

message: The sentence "Peter Bogdanovich's movie They All Laughed (in which he had cast Stratten) received such bad press surrounding her death that no studio wanted to release it. Bogdanovich financed the release personally, but the movie proved to be a box office failure." is entirely inappropriate in the section about her murder.  I am going to create a separate section for that line just to get it out of the "murder" section.

message: We should be careful about calling this death a murder, which is a legal term requiring some kind of legal judgment. It could have been an accident. GeorgeLouis (talk) 03:24, 29 June 2008 (UTC)

message: The picture is good, cover girl from Playboy, but you could have pick a better photo. Just my opinion.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Saltheshoe (talk • contribs) 01:48, 6 February 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: If you're going to upload a photo, please don't do it over the one that's already here.  Create a new file name.  Additionally, the file that you uploaded was so small that it looks horrible when expanded in the article.  Dismas|(talk) 04:30, 6 February 2009 (UTC)

thread_title: Another Song

message: Dorothy Stratten is the subject of two books. The first book The Killing of the Unicorn by Peter Bogdanovich was issued in 1984. A second book written by Lynn Crosbie called Dorothy L'Amour was issued by Harper Collins in 1999. The lead should mention this. Caden cool 17:38, 7 December 2016 (UTC)
thread_title:  Stratten is the subject of two books 

message: This part reads very much like conclusions to me with no citations given for it: "When Stratten arrived at the Playboy Mansion for the 25th Anniversary Playmate Hunt she was very shy and naive. She was very uncomfortable with the casual nudity and sex. Several contemporary playmates including Pamela Bryant, Gail Stanton and Marcy Hanson befriended Stratten and protected her from some of Hefner's friends whom they considered to be predators."
There's no indication of where any of this info came from. (Forgive me if I did anything improperly here, first time starting a Talk point). seanpaune (talk)  —Preceding undated comment added 14:57, 1 June 2020 (UTC)
thread_title: Lack of citations

message: Danny M125 has added a lot of content in the past four years, but much of it is based on their own views of sources and events. This is called Wikipedia:Original research and is not allowed on Wikipedia. The section "Aftermath of Stratten's murder" is the main concern. In particular, editors need to find sources that comment on Carpenter's article and Bogdanovich's book rather than inserting their own commentary. Fences&Windows 17:53, 20 May 2021 (UTC)
thread_title:  Original research 

message: The 2022 Hulu miniseries Welcome to Chippendales has Paul Snider and Dorothy Stratten play incidental but instrumental roles in the look of the male dance revue. 
From this news article https://www.indiewire.com/2022/11/welcome-to-chippendales-dorothy-stratten-inventor-1234783550/:
In Hulu’s new limited series “Welcome to Chippendales,” Playboy Playmate Dorothy Stratten (Nicola Peltz) is presented as the person behind putting the Chippendales dancers in their soon-to-be-iconic cuffs-and-collars look. With 10 minutes left in the pilot, Stratten pitches an idea to Chippendales creator Steve Bannerjee (Kumail Nanjiani): “I know how much you admire Hugh Hefner…which got me thinking, what if Chippendales did a Playboy Club thing? Cuffs and collars, just like the Bunnies.”
But I don't find any confirmation of this from sources.  I presume that this is a fictionalization of real-life events.  
This may be worth a mention in the Legacy section as an appearance of Stratten as a character in the tv show -- plus some confirmation of its veracity or exaggeration or falsehood. Bobbarkerinla (talk) 02:57, 28 November 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: This is confirmed as factual in an Esquire article from today, and that per Rob Siegel, it is likely that Stratten sought Hefner's OK to use the idea.  See   Also confirmed in Cosmopolitan  and USA Today.  Banks Irk (talk) 19:34, 1 December 2022 (UTC)
