Ex-playmate shoots boyfriend

Los Angeles - A former Playboy Playmate of the Year who appeared in the horror movie Rosemary's Baby has been charged with shooting her boyfriend at their Hollywood apartment.

The district attorney's office says 66-year-old Victoria Rathgeb pleaded not guilty to attempted murder on Tuesday. She remains jailed on $1.5m bail and could face up to life in prison if convicted.

Police say that she shot her boyfriend during a domestic dispute on Saturday.

Los Angeles police spokesperson Norma Eisenman says the man, whose identity wasn't released, remains in critical condition.

Rathgeb was 1968's Playmate of the Year under the name of Angela Dorian. She had TV and movie roles in the 1960s and 1970s and played a recovering heroin addict in the 1968 hit Rosemary's Baby.
