Synopsis
Star 80 (1983) is Bob Fosse's fact-based drama, and you can watch it online on iFILM. It traces Dorothy Stratten — a small-town girl who became Playboy's Playmate of the Year and was killed just as her star rose.
Dorothy (Mariel Hemingway) is working a Dairy Queen counter when small-time hustler Paul Snider (Eric Roberts) spots her. He grooms her into a centerfold, then into a Hollywood hopeful — and can't stand it when fame starts carrying her out of his reach. The higher she climbs, the more jealousy eats him alive.
Fosse's final film is a cold, unflinching look at how vanity and obsession curdle into murder. Roberts plays Snider without once asking you to forgive him. Not an easy watch, but one that lingers. Stream Star 80 online on iFILM.
