Greetings, Dana fans everywhere:
I need to correct my earlier post about Dana's life in Las Vegas, specifically where I believe the video store might have been located. Everything else I posted about her life there I believe is correct to the best of my knowledge. The corrections are noted below:
I was unable to locate the business called "Lake Video" in the Las Vegas area and the article does not mention the name of the bar either. However, there is a cluster of buildings at the corner of Lake East Drive and Lake Sahara Drive that appear to be a business; my guess is that "Lake Video" was located there.
The error is entirely mine, as I did not check the accuracy of the map I was using. My apologies if this caused any confusion.

As I said in my previous post, I am seriously seeking anything and everything I can about Dana. One site I recommend to all is a search engine called "Dogpile"; it combines several different searches into one. Certainly there is some duplication, but it's still a valuable tool.
To do a search at www.dogpile.com for Dana, click on "advanced search" and enter "Dana Plato", quotation marks and all, under "the exact phrase", otherwise all kinds of non-related stuff will come up. You will not believe the things that you will find. I even found a photo of Dana working at the Al Phillips dry-cleaners on West Flamingo Road in Las Vegas (the only place I have absolutely, positively located).
One site uses her birth information to provide a horoscope for her and it offers "proof" that she was fated to the troubled life she had. While my opinion about astrology, horoscopes and the like will remain unrecorded here, it is interesting what astrologists claim to "see" in Dana's chart:
"Dana's Sun and Neptune were conjunct by two degrees in the intense, provocative sign of Scorpio. This Sun-Neptune aspect, in this sign in particular, indicates a propensity toward drugs (Neptune). The opposition from Jupiter likely impacted adversely this already tense conjunction, and it caused her to have difficulty acquiring the happiness that is most basic to life (afflicted Jupiter), and often caused her some difficulty in getting drugs. Whichever direction Dana turned - toward her inner essence (Sun), toward her ability to communicate (Mercury), toward her need to escape (Neptune), or toward a career (Midheaven) - her Jupiter in the Fixed Sign of Taurus "opposed" her efforts."
Another site even "compares" her to you astrologically-speaking to see what kind of "relationship" the stars say you could have together. When I put in my birth information and it was analyzed along with Dana's, it claims she and I would have had one heck of an incredible relationship in virtually every aspect (sigh.....). I went back later and used my older and younger brother's birth info and neither one was as lucky as I was.
Again, take this whatever way you want; I'll withhold my opinion on whether I believe in astrology or not.....but I will tell you this: In my earlier post I mentioned that I sensed "something" when I read about Dana earlier in the week; I thought it might have been her reaching out to me from the great beyond; now I'm beginning to think it really was her trying to contact me.....or am I going nuts? (Calling Dr. Freud!).
Web addresses for the above sites are available upon request. And now, if you will excuse me, I'm going to dream about the incredible relationship we could have (or is that, "should have"?) had together.
