À propos de Star Stowe

Star Stowe (born Ellen Louise Stowe; March 19, 1956, Little Rock, Arkansas – March 16, 1997, Coral Springs, Florida) was an American model. She was Playboy magazine's Playmate of the Month for its February 1977 issue. Her centerfold was photographed by Pompeo Posar. Stowe at one time dated Gene Simmons. Stowe later married and divorced Peter Magligo, with whom she had a son, Michael. Stowe moved to Fort Lauderdale in 1986 to find work as an exotic dancer. When Michael was six she sent him to live with her mother but still stayed in touch with him through phone calls and visits.The dancing didn't work out. Stowe eventually fell into prostitution, alcoholism and drug abuse. In 1991, Stowe moved in with a boyfriend and gave up drugs and prostitution. This lasted until August 1996, when after a drunken argument they split. Stowe went back to her former life on the streets. Her body was found strangled and partially clothed, 3 days before her 41st birthday. Since several other prostitutes in the area had been strangled and dumped in a similar manner, Stowe's murder is believed to be the work of a possible serial killer in southwest Florida. Her murder remains unsolved.
