He sees the young beauty as his meal ticket and sets out to pimp her in the adult entertainment business. He marries her and appoints himself her career manager; soon after, she attracts the attention of {~Playboy} executives and wins a spot in the magazine. As her success increases however, so does Snider's alienation as he finds himself left out in the cold. His jealousy begins to consume him; she spurns him on the advice of her new friends; he goes berserk and confronts her. The same murder-suicide inspired the made-for-television Death of a Centerfold. This was choreographer/filmmaker Bob Fosse's final film. ~ Jeremy Beday, All Movie Guide.</p> Video Detective http://video.tvguide.com/ID/821499?rss=object Mon, 17 Mar 2008 06:55:40 -0400 <p><a href="http://video.tvguide.com/ID/821499?rss=object"><img align="left" border="0" src="http://videodetective.com/photos/037/001590_2.jpg" width="60" height="45" alt="Star 80" style="margin:0 5px 5px" /></a>Director Bob Fosse's fact-based tale of {~Playboy} centerfold Dorothy Stratten's short life and gruesome death focuses less on Stratten (played by Mariel Hemingway) than on her husband/manager, sleazoid pornographer and all-around failure Paul Snider (Eric Roberts, ideally cast).
