Synopsis

Based on the true story of Dorothy Stratten.
Paul Snider is a narcissistic, small time hustler who fancies himself a ladies man. His life changes when he meets Dorothy Stratten, a pretty but naive high school senior. Paul believes Dorothy is Playboy material, the magazine he sees as a springboard to bigger and better things. Paul's dream does become a reality: not only does Dorothy eventually marry him, she becomes the Playboy Playmate of 1979 and starts an acting career. As Dorothy's star rises, Paul is unable to eke out a life of his own without using Dorothy's name...
