Item Title:1984 Press Photo Actress Mariel Hemingway as Dorothy Stratten in Film "Star 80"
PHOTO DESCRIPTION:Mariel Hemingway (born November 22, 1961) is an American actress. She began acting at age 14 with a Golden Globe-nominated breakout role in Lipstick (1976). For her performance in Woody Allen's comedy-drama film Manhattan (1979), Hemingway received a nomination for the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress.
She had leading roles in Personal Best (1982), Star 80 (1983), and the TV series Civil Wars for which she received a Golden Globe nomination. Hemingway's acting career slowed in the late 1990s, and she focused on advocating for mental health awareness. She contributed to the acclaimed documentary Running from Crazy regarding her family's struggles with mental illness.
Star 80 is a 1983 American biographical drama film written and directed by Bob Fosse. It was adapted from the Pulitzer Prize-winning Village Voice article "Death of a Playmate" by Teresa Carpenter and is based on Canadian Playboy model Dorothy Stratten, who was murdered by her husband Paul Snider in 1980. The film's title is taken from one of Snider's vanity license plates. It was Fosse's final film before his death in 1987.
The film stars Mariel Hemingway as Stratten and Eric Roberts as Snider, with Cliff Robertson, Carroll Baker, Roger Rees, and David Clennon in supporting roles. The film chronicles Stratten's relationship with Snider, their move to Los Angeles, her success as a Playboy model, the dissolution of their relationship, and her murder.
Star 80 was filmed on location in Vancouver and Los Angeles; the death scene was filmed in the same house in which the real murder–suicide took place. The film was released in the United States on November 10, 1983. It initially received mixed reviews from critics, but the performances of Hemingway and Roberts received critical acclaim. The film has been reappraised over the years and has been reviewed positively.
