Actress and fashion model Lana Jean Clarkson is born in Long Beach, California, United States.

In February 2003 Clarkson was fatally shot by songwriter and producer Phil Spector in the lobby of his mansion. According to a statement from Los Angeles Police Department, it is believed police confronted Spector for a lengthy period of time and in an attempt to get him to reveal a gun he had left behind. According to his family the shooting was justified because his wife and daughter were with Spector at the time of the shooting and were the first to see the man. Spector then left for a gun auction in April 2003 where he was shot and killed by his girlfriend, who has since been released from her hospital for treatment of breast cancer. According to The Times of London, the victim may be 'the most decorated woman in the world. It is believed the shooting was directed at a female member of the family, who had reportedly come into his home to share a bottle of wine with him. 'According to LA Times' sources, Spector was not charged with a crime, and only appears as a witness, who says he is always in the right place at the right time. When he was taken to hospital, it was said that he was 'still visibly shaken at the scene. He admitted to being upset by the fact that the other person he was talking to didn't notice him as well.
