No shit.

I was going through one of my Playboy books and saw this picture of a bunch of people in front of a Christmas tree and I recognized director Richard Brooks and Hefner of course and Dorothy Stratten but I wondered who the greasy guy in the shiny black shirt was sitting next to Stratten was and I looked at the caption...

Uh-huh.

Full-on creep.

What's worse, Eric Roberts' performance as Snider poleaxed his career AND his personal life -- poor bastard couldn't get a gig and if he tried to chat up a chick who had seen the movie, he got NOwhere.

I have a friend who is a Playmate and last time she was in town we went to see Marilyn Monroe's crypt but I never said a WORD about Dorothy Stratten, who is maybe 50 yards away from Marliyn. It's still a hard subject to bring up.
