"I'm definitely a sucker for the romantic approach," admits Vancouver-born Dorothy Stratten, a statuesque blonde who also happens to have been a finalist in our Great Playmate Hunt. "Romance is effective for me," she continues, "because I'm a very sensitive person. I can laugh and cry over something in the same moment. Small romantic gestures -- like getting flowers at an unexpected moment -- really turn me on; but my main romantic daydream is to be up in the mountains with lots of snow on the ground, in some rustic old cabin with a roaring fire, a candlelight dinner for two, and later, wine on the couch by the fire and soft music. I know it sounds old-fashioned in a way, but I don't care. "When she's not concocting romantic scenarios, Dorothy, who recently moved south to sunny Los Angeles from British Columbia, attends an exercise class regularly ("I'm so paranoid about getting fat -- it's the most neurotic thing about me"), takes acting classes ("I'd like to be competent in all types of acting -- romance, drama, comedy, even horror"), works as a Bunny at the L.A. club and writes poetry -- romantic poetry, of course. - read more about Dorothy Stratten at playboy plus...
