R.I.P Bridgett Rollins, a timeless beauty.

[azurespring]

Bridgett Rollins had the kind of interesting, real-girl beauty that is so woefully lacking in most of today's models. To me, she's a thousand times sexier and more appealing than any of the current waxed, tattooed, pierced, shaved, big-haired professional naked women pumped full of silicone and collagen.

However, anyone remember Terri Ellis?........



apologies for the layout and any missing info, don't think I have the dates for this one.

I remember Terri or Teresa as I knew her. I went to secondary school with her and she was a friend of mine, I had a little crush on her, we got on really well, she was a lovely, happy vibrant, clever and funny girl, always centre of attention. I will always remember going on a school outing to the west end and Teresa holding my arm as we marched through the tube passages, it felt really good, she was gorgeous. I am 50 now and had a dream of her last night, strange isn't it, life? So I decided to look her up, this is the only thing I found on the net, and I had to join to make sure something nice was known about this little girl. We lost touch when we left school, and I read the news of her death, a sad end for a good kid, RIP Teresa, I always smile when I think of you, from shingles.

I couldnt see Terri doing porn deliberately, she wasnt that kind of girl as far as I knew her and I think she was exploited and tricked into it by unscrupulous people, she always looked sparkling and happy on page 3 and in the DM. She was a lovely girl when we were kids.

I spent some time with her at a film festival some years ago ad she was extremely nice, very warm and affable. She was a voracious flirt and loved the lens no matter who was holding the camera. It was really sad when she went. I remember not being surprised, just saddened.

Dorothy Stratton's death was nothing short of horrific. I read the file on her murder about twenty years back and a few things stuck with me. She went to see her soon to be ex to essentially say goodbye and give him closure. She told her then boyfriend the director Peter Bogdanovich and a few others she was going. She made the mistake of meeting him at his apartment alone. It's probable that Snyder, (a serious creep who dressed like a pimp as was very much a Svengali type) made her undress and it's not clear or not if they had pre-mortum sex. He shot her in the face at a range of about three feet with a double barrelled, over-under twelve gauge. She put her hand up and turned away from the gun at the last second, the tips of her fingers on her right hand were blown off and the shot went into the right side of her face. (Both films made about her got the details wrong, she was not laying down but was more than likely sitting up.) Snyder then raped her dead body, re-loaded the gun and blew his own head off.

Side note, Bogdanovich became as obsessed with her in death as Snyder was in life and for years mourned her. It's been reported that he even dated her much younger sister for some time when she came of age. I don't know how true this is. He was the one that wanted to make a version of her life story centering on her murder entitled "The Killing of the Unicorn". No one wanted to back it as "Star 80" had just been released and the subject was just so grim. This is stuff I got from people I have known in Hollywood over the years so I cannot say how true it all is. I do know that she was a really sweet and caring lady that wanted so much to please that she married Snyder not because she ever loved him but she felt she owed it to him for starting her career. She really didn't belong in Hollywood. Very, very sad.

Multi-racial girls are my absolute favorite and this lovely lady was so sweet and beautiful. It's sad when we lose them but to lose her so young is a true tragedy. I must ask, why her? There are a hell of a lot of other people that I would rather see gone than her.

A couple friends who met her said similar things. She wasn't a very smart woman, but she seemed to always be nice to the public. That's a great deal better than most "celebrities" these days, who are stupid and want only to be seen among the most wealthy and shallow people around, treating everyday people belligerently (probably because they know they only got fame and/or fortune through dumb luck, and don't want to be reminded of their common origins).

I was always a bit annoyed by the constant ridicule of Anna Nicole, because she was harmless.

Bogdanovich eventually married Dorothy's younger sister. It was this, along with his portrayal of Hef as a smarmy Svengali-type in the eventual film version of "The Killing of the Unicorn" that caused the rift between the two.

I have found this particular thread most interesting. Being a "senior citizen", this has caught me up to date on the passing of those hundreds of stars I have worshipped during my years. Thanks to all of you for your input.
