Star 80 is a 1983 American biographical crime drama film written and directed by Bob Fosse, and starring Mariel Hemingway, Eric Roberts, Cliff Robertson, Carroll Baker, Roger Rees, and David Clennon. It was adapted from the Pulitzer Prize-winning Village Voice article "Death of a Playmate" by Teresa Carpenter, about Canadian Playboy model Dorothy Stratten, who died in a murder–suicide committed by her husband, Paul Snider, in 1980. 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. Its title is taken from one of Snider's vanity license plates.
