“I think this show will be a compelling, truthful account of
some very bizarre stories,” host Scott Michaels tells me. He and Harris explore the
tragedy surrounding actor Johnny Lewis of Sons
of Anarchy with a first-hand account from a neighbor who narrowly escaped
becoming a victim herself.
Other stories unfold with the strange deaths of
Playboy Playmate Dorothy Stratten and her estranged husband, told through a
revealing chat with the model’s roommate who discovered their bodies; the
father of actress Brittany Murphy tells what he
believes is the shocking truth about his daughter’s 2009 death; an
investigative journalists talks about his research into the shooting death of
powerful publicist Ronni Chasen; and an interview with the best friend and
roommate of aspiring actress Ashley Ellerin, a possible victim of the
“Hollywood Ripper” on the night of what would have been her first date with
Ashton Kutcher.
I asked host Scott Michaels
what he found most interesting during the special’s filming. “Working on Hollywood
Death Trip was both fascinating and frightening. Fascinating because the
research taught us so much about these people and the incidents, frightening
because we get first horrific first-hand accounts by people who were there. The
people we interview are their friends, their parents and their loved ones. They
opened up and trusted us with their very personal stories.”
