"Dorothy Stratten's life (and subsequent murder) was a tragedy. She was a victim of poor choices and naivete. Bogdanovich's tale is written just like you would expect from the man who lost the love of his life. The book is pretty graphic, so I don't recommend it to the sheepish."
"A bizarre, unclassifiable book. Peter Bogdanovich wrote it after his lover/leading lady Dorothy Stratten -- 1980's Playmate of the Year -- died at the hand of her husband in a particularly gruesome murder-suicide, a tragedy later depicted in Bob Fosse's terrifying and terrific "Star 80." (In a particularly discomfiting twist, Bogdanovich later married her sister Louise, who was twelve years old at the time of Stratten's death. They have since divorced.) It's hard to say precisely what this book *is*: a memoir, a biography, a screed against the misogyny of Playboy (on whose shoulders, ultimately, he lays blame), or a long, low death knell for a very young woman whom this much older man knew for a very short time. A brief on-set affair (she was costarring in his "They All Laughed" at the time) becomes, in the wake of her death, a star-crossed romance of Shakespearean proportions, and the pathos extends from Stratten's short life and ugly death to Bogdanovich, but not in the way that he intends. More than anything, this fascinating, maddening book is a portrait of the delusive narcissism of grief: every time the light in his car inexplicably blinks on and off, it's Dorothy. When a cat shows up at his door, it's Dorothy. Bogdanovich outlines the numerological providence of their relationship with meticulous inattention to reality, and, like all melancholics, presumes from his beloved an eternal devotion that outdistances his own. Dorothy Stratten's is a terribly sad story, but this book isn't it. This is mythology, the steadfast refusal of a bereaved lover to mourn."
