Dorothy Snippets

After getting a lot of emails from fans sharing short statements they found about Dorothy in magazines and such, I decided to create a page devoted to accumulating these snippets. This is your page fans, I really want you to email me every little thing you find. I am looking for short statements and remembrances about Dorothy that I can post here. Thank you all for your help. Let's see what we can do!

MY FAVORITE PLAYMATE BY DR. DREW
"My favorite is Dorothy Stratten because she had an angelic, otherworldly beauty. Unfortunately Dorothy didn't stay with us long. I'm drawn to people in pain, and I instinctively knew that this woman was suffering. I felt the connection."

MY FAVORITE PLAYMATE BY DAVID CARRADINE
"My favorite would have to be Miss August 1979, Dorothy Stratten. At the time of her death I was putting together a film, "Karate is a thing of the Spirit," and she was my first choice for the female lead. Right in the middle she died, which froze the movie and my emotions about her."

MY FAVORITE PLAYMATE BY RICHARD SIMMONS
"I have an exercise studio in Los Angeles and the Playboy offices are right around the corner. The playmates use to come in to workout after photo shoots, It was very exciting. But recalling my favorite is sad because it's Dorothy Stratten, the Playmate who was murdered. Dorothy came to the gym every day. When she died Playboy called to tell me. It was tough. Her death was just so unnecessary."

MY FAVORITE PLAYMATE BY SAMANTHA MATHIS
"I know Peter Bogdanovich, so I'd have to say my favorite Playmate is Dorothy Stratten, I've been to his house and seen her photographs. She was a spectacularly beautiful woman."

Question: Janet, being a Playmate three times is quite an accomplishment! Do you ever think it will be repeated? Who in your opinion would have been a good candidate from the pool of past Playmates?

Janetpilgrim: I don't think there will ever be another three-time Playmate. In my mind, Dorothy Stratten, whom I had the pleasure of meeting and traveling with, was the most beautiful woman I ever laid eyes on, she would have had my vote. She was very breathtaking.

Question: If you had to choose your favorite Playmate of all time, who would it be and why?

Livlindeland: would have to say Dorothy Stratten. She was the most gorgeous thing I have ever seen. I didn't know her very well, but I would see her at the Mansion. Heather is like Dorothy, they are both so radiant, when I saw her she just lit up.

Question: Who were your favorite Playmates when you were growing up?

Susieowens: Marianne Gravatte. Dorothy Stratten. Dorothy looked like an angel.

Question: Did you ever meet Dorothy Stratten?

Pattireynolds: Yes. I went to her PMOY party. Everything that's ever been written about her is true, and I'm sure even more. She was lovely, beautiful inside and out. A lovely young girl. All natural and beautiful.

MY FAVORITE PLAYMATE BY THOMAS JANE actor HBO's Hung
"I was 13 years old when I raided my father's stash of PLAYBOY's.
The first issue i perused was August 1979, with Dorothy Stratten as the Centerfold.
She became the one I compared all the others to. I caught her on my favorite show, Buck Rogers, which hooked me on a life long quest for sexy sci-fi babes.
She had that magic mix of sin and innocence-sort of a bad girl waiting to happen.
I had no idea that by the time I saw her Centerfold, she had already been murdered by her husband."
