He was nobody. He looked like a putz. They wanted her, but not him. I think for paul, losing her to peter, a huge star, director, was the ultimate insult. I knew he was dangerous. And somehow or other she didnt see that. Are you really shy, sensitive, and romantic . Yes, im getting over my shyness fast. But i am very sensitive. And im very romantic. Thats the type of girl a lot of men fantasize about. A lot of men like the girl next door. Are you the girl next door . Because it seems to me that ive never lived next door to anyone who looked like you. Well, when i came from the town that i came from, i lived with my family still. Id just graduated from high school. I worked in a dairy queen for four years, wearing pigtails and no makeup. Whose playmate are you supposed to be when youre the playmate of the month . I think im supposed to be the playmate, whoever chooses me as their fantasy. Dorothy stratten in many ways was almost like a fantasy of what the playboy reader or the playboy fan would want. Shes blonde. Shes well built. She has the innocence about her. Dorothy stratten was an angel. She just was a sweet, effervescent angel. I said, shes gorgeous. And this town will destroy her. She was just breathtakingly beautiful. There was something very otherworldly about being with her. Time would stop and you just felt you were in a frozen moment. She was a young girl from vancouver, british columbia. She was very naive, high school student, really had no worldly experience. She is the daughter of a woman who came over after world war ii. She has almost never known her biological father. Dorothy really wanted people to love her. She had felt abandoned by any kind of male figure that was in her life. She was being raised by her mother. I think that her mother, nelly, was a very hard worker. And she worked in a school cafeteria. It was difficult. Dorothy went to work. Because her mother needed the money. She took care of me a lot. Because my mom wasnt around. Taught me how to tie my shoes, was there for every school function. Sports day, talent day, she was there. Dorothy had started working at this dairy queen when she was 14. And she was really pleased to have a found a job that young. I can kind of picture this beautiful blonde girl, still young and Beautiful Skin and beautiful eyes and long legs and saying to you, do you want vanilla or chocolate . Right . Shes still working at that dairy queen when shes 18. And shes still in high school. And that is where she is the day that paul snider, a local pimp, walks in to the dairy queen and sees dorothy and both of their lives will be changed forever after. Paul snider is an interesting character, a scary one but undeniably interesting. He didnt keep a low profile. In that he drove a black corvette, wore a mink coat, star of david encrusted with jewels that he hung on his chest. He was called the jewish pimp. And he cultivated that. Paul snider was dressing in exactly the way that he thought successful men were dressing in disco clubs. It was almost like he was looking at what John Travolta was wearing in saturday night fever. And that was the image he was also trying to convey with the shirt that was open and gold jewelry hanging down, and his hairy chest hanging out, that was the look of the time. I found him to be basically a very streetwise individual trying to basically make a buck any way he could, especially on the backs of others, using others. He was an opportunist and he was always looking for his opportunity to make money. He was not on the up and up, you know. If you shake hands, you count your fingers after you do it. He made a pretty good living as a promoter for automobile shows and cycling shows. But it wasnt enough to accommodate his extravagant tastes so he began to procure girls and pimp them on the side. He had a stable of several girls. They called him the jewish pimp. He would find them and then exploit them to build his own power. Paul snider was a predator. You think of him, and you think of a wolf, and you think of him stalking his prey. So he sees a sexy girl at a dairy queen. Shes a child, basically, but you know, hmm. Hmm. What can happen for me through her is of interest to me. And he decides to groom her like a lot of people like this do. You look at them and you wonder, my goodness, this is the perfect victim for snider. You had this innocent, untouched young piece of canvas. He had a good eye. He saw the playboy playmate of the year behind a counter at dairy queen. He saw the possibility. Thats an eyeball. Thats a good eye. And he was right. She was spectacular to look at. And she was also sweet, and likable, and approachable, and nice. He bought her beautiful jewelry, beautiful clothes. So she was totally taken in by him. There was a bit of a pathology about her in the sense that when this guy paid attention to her and showered her with gifts, she grabbed onto that. There was something missing in her life. As a 26yearold man, he goes to her high school prom. He buys her the gown that shes going to wear for the prom. It was a very beautiful ruffled dress that highlighted her features. So in the movie that i was in, star 80, paul snider comes and takes dorothy to her prom, her high school prom. And its it really does feel uncomfortable. After the dance, took her to a professional photographer who took her first professional photo. And it was in this very chaste but luxurious gown. Paul snider worked her insecurity and gave her compliments in the places where she felt most vulnerable. And when youre insecure, you hear those words, they fill holes that you feel youre made up of. People at school would tease her about her lips being so big. And she felt awkward. She wasnt comfortable in her own skin. Paul snider saw this young girl, who was almost old enough, at the dairy queen as the sexy girl next door. Now, thats what Playboy Magazine would advertise all their girls as, the hot girl next door. She could live next door to you, pal. Really . You think . Let me look. And if shes not there, shes in this magazine. Hes telling her, my goodness, you could be a playboy bunny. You could be this. You could be that. And in her world, working at dairy queen and not seeing a future for herself, that could be something. She was very shy at the time too. So this is a whole new world for her. And it took him a little while to talk me into agreeing to taking some test pictures. I had never taken my clothes off for anyone i didnt know. And eventually she said yes. It was just this gradual experience of saying just a little bit more, and a little more, until you suddenly find yourself as a part of this completely different world. And its hard to look back and measure how far youve come. She was afraid her mother would not like it. And she didnt feel comfortable doing it. There was arguing going on. I recall that. Dorothy crying and paul trying to convince her that this is right, that itll be fine. Its not the worst thing in the world. Go ahead, do it. She was enamored with him. He saw that in me . Oh, my god. And to make her happy to be her, happy to be her with him. So it was artificial. But it was a relationship. And it was wonderful. It was great. And she trusted him. I think the early devotion to dorothy was partially an act. He considered dorothy class merchandise. And i thought, this guy is a real con artist. L saidyoure beful.

People forget that hugh hefner was in some ways a visionary. When it started, playboy was kind of a shock. I mean, whered this come from . Playboy magazine, up until the mid70s, was a nono in everybodys house. Only if you were really hip was it okay to, yeah, i have playboy. So . But if you werent hip, you were probably nasty. The 1970s were as sexualized a decade as weve really ever seen. You have movies like deep throat and the devil in miss jones becoming mainstream box office successes. It was an era that felt liberated all of a sudden. It was very exuberant. Women were feeling free sexually. This was the first generation that had the pill. And the idea of more and more sexual frankness and candor is kind of in the culture. In the 70s, playboy had established itself as a dominant commercial force. Hugh hefner was an icon, he was a legend. He managed to find a way to thread the needle where he could have pictures of nude women that were indeed attractive and compelling but it didnt feel dirty. He kind of scraped the word dirty off the idea of dirty pictures or dirty movies and thats what made him famous. I read it for the articles, would be one of the most familiar lies of the 60s and the 70s as it related to playboy. Playboy was trying to say, lets have fun, innocent fun. Why are we being so puritanical about this . But it wasnt dozens of men in bikinis roller skating around in a circle while women cheered. Somehow, the sexual revolution didnt cause us to reexamine the fact that women were going to be the ones on display. To commemorate their 25th anniversary, playboy had a big playmate hunt. Looking for the 25th anniversar outreach and theyre going to be lots of prizes and things like that. And so dorothy was one of the runnersup. Playboy was looking for a 25th anniversary playmate, they were having a great playmate hunt, they called it. I brought her down. It was her First Airline flight. It was her first limo ride. It was a sunday afternoon. Dorothy stratten talked about that day in an interview with playboy. I remember driving up this driveway and i see this huge castle and my legs would not move. I was shaking so bad i thought everyone in that room could hear my knees knocking. I was so, so shy. Well, thats what they liked, they liked the innocence and they liked the sexuality. And thats what they saw when they saw dorothy. They saw someone fresh, almost seemingly unaware of the effect that her nudity had on men. The 25th Anniversary Special was supposed to be, like, the biggest centerfold ever. And i think it came down between candy loving and dorothy, and do she needed a lot of grooming. So they knew she wasnt ready yet, even though she was as beautiful as candy loving and could easily have been that special playmate, she wasnt ready. She was a total babe in the woods. I cannot remember another playmate being that, i dont want to say naive, inexperienced. Unused to her surroundings and not used to thinking that she was really beautiful. Can you imagine having never left this small town, and working at the dairy queen to come to hollywood, to end up at parties where people are drinking cocktails. Yet youve never seen a cocktail before. Everything about your experience is brand new. So when dorothy first came to hollywood for playboy, she was just 18. She had only just graduated high school. The whole thing was just one big trip after another, going from one world into another. I got a call from paul. Max baer was jethro on the beverly hillbillies. How do you gentlemen like your tea . We dont know, maam. We aint tasted it yet. And, of course, we all still think of him that way, but its been a few years. And it turns out that he was friends with paul snider. He said he had met this girl and she was gorgeous, and they took some pictures of her and they sent them down and playboy is really interested in her. And, he said, shes gonna be a star. I said, oh yeah. Of course. She had to have felt excited, overwhelmed, scared. So paul was the only person that was from back in the world that she came from that she knew. And so she held on, she held on tight. She was on the phone with him daily when we shot her. She would call and tell him how great it was going. She thought that whatever success she was having, and it was embryonic at that point, was totally due to paul. She leaned on him. And so if stuff ever got too big or too scary, he was the one who was going to be in her corner. And so for him, thats an incredibly powerful position because the more and more power that she builds, the more he gets to be the person who is the foundation for it all, and who benefits from it all. Paul was a smalltime hustler who found the golden nugget. Paul thought he could ride his golden girl all the way to the top. This wasnt love, per se. This was love and business. This was desire and business. He came to los angeles. He had an idea and lets face it, he wasnt wrong. He told her, take these pictures. Lets go to hollywood. Lets meet hefner. And, in his mind, im a hugh hefner. I can see myself having a big mansion, and this girl could be the beginning of that. This is about discovering your world is not the world that you thought it was. It was women being there to satisfy mens lust. He definitely looked at her as a commodity and used her from the very beginning. This is the hollywood dream this is the hollywood dream gone wrong.

What, basically, is the principle behind the playboy clubs . The club is really an extension of the concept that was developed in the magazine. Its an attempt, as much as possible, to kind of bring to life many of the notions that are popularized in the magazine. A playboy bunny was someone who worked in the clubs, learned the bunny dip, which was a particular way of serving a drink. Okay, once again, lets see the bunny dip done just so. Thats absolutely correct. So a bunny is sophisticated, but shes also naive. A bunny is available, but also you cannot touch her. All of playboy is about these contradictions between one idea and another, and then trying to live inside of them. We take blatant sexuality and then try to layer over it a bunch of childlike, charming, asexual aspects as if that kind of cleans it up. Thats like doing heroin and taking vitamins. Playboy is an attempt to put together a quality entertainment magazine for an adult male audience which brings together things of an erotic and sensual nature with things of an intellectual nature. Faster. Very good. Around the table. So i think it was a very traditional approach to mens roles and womens roles. Were attempting to do in a very real way is were trying to give sex a good name. You wouldnt think that would be so difficult, but it is. The clubs were still an operation at the time that Dorothy Stratten came to playboy. And when she needed a job, both to get her green card and maybe to make a little extra money, she wound up working as a playboy bunny at the los angeles playboy club. I dont think she was allowed to serve alcohol, because she w
