Victoria Vetri

Victoria Vetri (born September 26, 1944 in Los Angeles) is an actress and Playboy Playmate who became an attempted killer in 2010.

Victoria Vetri's acting career began in 1962, seeing her appear in several TV shows such as McHale's Navy, Bonanza, and Perry Mason. She appeared in "The Crittendon Plan," the third season opener of Hogan's Heroes, as Carla, a member of the Underground who assisted Hogan in his latest plan. The episode aired on September 9, 1967, and it was in the same month and year that Victoria (who acted under the name Angela Dorian) was featured as a Playboy Playmate, eventually being named Playmate of the Year in 1968.

Victoria's last acting credit was an episode of Lucas Tanner in 1975, and 11 years after her retirement from acting, she married rocker Bruce Rathgeb. On October 16, 2010, Victoria and Bruce engaged in argument that ended with Victoria shooting her husband in the back (non-fatally). She was arrested and charged with attempted murder, and regarding a motive, Bruce testified that Victoria believed that he was having an affair. However, in a later interview, Bruce claimed that Victoria shot him believing he was Charlie Manson, as Victoria was good friends with Sharon Tate, and after Tate's murder, Victoria maintained a long standing fear of Manson.

Victoria pleaded no contest to attempted voluntary manslauhter, and in September of 2011, she was sentenced to 9 years in state prison. She was released on parole in April 2018.
