As the group owner, I don't usually take part in contests, but since it looks like no one has been able to come up with the answer to this one, I'm going to name it.
Movie/TV star Dorothy Stratten was murdered by her estranged husband, Paul Snider, on August 14, 1980, at 10881 Clarkson Road in Los Angeles, where she went that day to discuss their divorce. The house is just a few feet from the Santa Monica Freeway and the constant traffic makes it very noisy. When the bodies were found, they had both been dead for several hours and there were black ants crawling on them. He used a shotgun and half of Dorothy's face was blown away. The postmortem examinations showed that Snider didn't immediately kill himself and had tied Dorothy's corpse to a special "sex chair" that he had built and raped her before he shot himself.
Before the murder, Snider had hired a private detective, who reported that Dorothy was having an affair with Peter Brogdanovich, the director of They All Laughed, the film that she was making in New York.
Brogdanovich wrote The Killing of the Unicorn: Dorothy Stratten 1960-1980, in which he blamed adult magazine publisher Hugh Hefner for using young women and being partly responsible for what happened to Dorothy.
Some say that Dorothy Stratten's ghost haunts the Playboy Mansion (above) at 10236 Charing Cross Rd. in Beverly Hills, which is just a 15-minute-drive north from the Clarkson Road house.

I feel like an idiot. I had everything except "Charing Cross" and it just didn't occur to me to look up the address of The Playboy Mansion.
Congratulations, Joanna.
