68. American Scandal
Dallas, Texas, US
Every scandal begins with a lie. But the truth will come out. And then comes the fallout and the outrage. Scandals have shaped America since its founding.

From the creators of American History Tellers, Business Wars and Tides of History comes American Scandal, where we take you deep into the heart of Americas dark side to look at what drives someone to break the rules and what happens when they are caught. Hosted by Lindsay Graham.

70. Death of a Starlet
Nineteen eighty was going to be Dorothy Stratten's year. Playboy's Hugh Hefner thought it might even be her decade. She was just 20 years old, the girl next door with the shy smile and whispery voice who didn't know her own beauty. But to the men in her life -- magazine mogul Hugh Hefner, director Peter Bogdanovich, and small-time hustler Paul Snider -- Dorothy represented the promise of better things -- a centerfold on her way to movie stardom, a muse who could help revive a dying career, and a ticket to the Hollywood dream.
