We will update Dorothy Stratten's religion & political views in this article. Please check the article again after few days.

The Killing of the Unicorn is by turns a biography of Stratten, a memoir of Bogdanovich’s affair with the married Playmate who was half his age, and a scathing, feminist attack on Hefner, his Playboy philosophy and the hedonistic sexual mores he celebrated in his magazine and practiced at his mansion, and the entire Playboy organization. By far the most controversial part of the book is the director’s claim that Hefner had sexually assaulted a then eighteen-year-old Stratten in August 1978. According to Bogdanovich’s allegation the assault occurred while the two were alone in a secluded area of the Playboy Mansion at the end of Stratten’s first day of posing for the magazine’s photographer. (Bogdanovich chose to use the word “seduced” to describe Hefner’s behavior in the book, however, he originally used the word “raped” in the drafts of his manuscript. Bogdanovich and the publisher made the change after being threatened with a lawsuit by Hefner’s lawyers.)

She attended Centennial High School located in Coquitlam in 1977 and worked at a Dairy Queen when she sent nude photos to Playboy Magazine and signed a contract.

The book The Killing of the Unicorn by Peter Bogdanovich was based on her life. Bogdanovich ended up marrying her sister.

When Stratten arrived at the Playboy Mansion for the 25th Anniversary Playmate Hunt she was very shy and naive. She was very uncomfortable with the casual nudity and sex. Several contemporary playmates including Pamela Bryant, Gail Stanton and Marcy Hanson befriended Stratten and protected her from some of Hefner’s friends whom they considered to be predators.

In August 1978, she moved to Los Angeles, where she was chosen as a finalist for the 25th Anniversary Great Playmate Hunt. Snider joined her in October, and in June the following year, they married. With her surname shortened to Stratten, she became Playboy’s Miss August 1979, and began working as a bunny at the Playboy Club in Century City, Los Angeles. Hugh Hefner had high hopes Stratten could have meaningful crossover success as an actress. She featured in episodes of the television series Buck Rogers and Fantasy Island. She also had small roles in 1979 in Americathon and the roller disco comedy Skatetown, U.S.A., and a lead role in the exploitation film Autumn Born.

On August 13, 1980, the day before Stratten was murdered, Snider bought a used, 12-gauge, pump action shotgun from a private seller he found in a local classified ad. Later that evening in a conversation with friends, Snider described how he had purchased a gun that day and finished his story by cryptically declaring that he was “going to take up hunting.”

Snider later had a photographer take professional nude photos of her which were sent to Playboy magazine in the summer of 1978. She was under the age of 19 (the legal age of majority in British Columbia), so she had to persuade her mother to sign the model release form.

On the night of July 31, 1980, Snider, by now aware that his estranged wife was living with Bogdanovich, hid among the shadows just outside the director’s Los Angeles estate carrying a borrowed handgun, intending to shoot anyone who appeared at the entrance to the property. After several hours of inactivity, Snider grew impatient and left, drove up into the hills overlooking the city and, admitting later to a friend, had thoughts of suicide.
