September 10, 2006 — Universal has launched the full site for The Black Dahlia! The site has fascinating features such as "The Real Story," where you can view the actual court and law enforcement documents of the original Elizabeth Smart case; "Dark LA," which displays silent reels from the turn of the century; "LA: Then and Now," which compares historical and contemporary images of LA street intersections; and "The Black Dahlia E-cards," where you can spread the spirit of 1940's LA to your friends.
On January 15, 1947, the tortured body of a beautiful young woman was found in a vacant lot in Hollywood. Elizabeth Short, the Black Dahlia, a young Hollywood hopeful, had been brutally murdered. Her murder sparked one of the greatest manhunts in California history. In this fictionalized treatment of a real case, Bucky Bleichert and Lee Blanchard, both LA cops obsessed with the Black Dahlia, journey through the seamy underside of Hollywood to the core of the dead girl's twisted life. Based on the book by James ("LA Confidential") Ellroy.
