Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
This aired just one year after the real murder. Stratten's mother sued Playboy and lost; Curtis reportedly donated her salary to domestic violence charities.
Released the same year as Bob Fosse's 'Star 80' — the big-budget theatrical version of the same story. This TV movie actually beat it to screens by months.
