This breaks my heart. 80. I often wonder what she would have done with her life. I think she was just starting to learn the power of her beauty and kindness and that attention from her would have made someone's day. Classy. Thank you for sharing, Torque.
Thank you all. Somebody once said, "1967, the year that Sharon Tate happens." I like to think that the 1970's would be the decade that Sharon Tate would happen; and by that I mean professionally. I could easily see her in her own TV show, doing light comedy, along the lines of, say, Mary Tyler Moore.
By the end of the 70's she would only have been 36 years old. That said, as far as acting is concerned, I have always believed that her greatest work was still ahead of her.
Thank you for posting. I fell into this rabbit hole 2 weeks ago after listening to karina longworths ‘you must remember this’ podcast on the Manson murders. Then I saw Tom O Neil on Joe Rogan talk about his book Chaos (and I thought that makes sense- the CIA was involved). Then I found some interviews with Nikolas Schreck (and I thought, that makes sense-it was a drug deal gone wrong). Then I found this blog (and now it’s a little, HS theory is 90% debunked, Chaos/Drug deal is riddled with holes). The only thing I’m confident about is how could Roman Polanski not just be completely devoted to this stunningly beautiful woman who seems to have an inner beauty to match her outer.
Mark, Roman has said that he could not believe how kind, innocent, and truth-telling American girls were when he first came to America. This feeling extended to both Sharon Tate and Abigail folger.
Roman, Voytek, and their male friends came out of WWII Poland, then survived post-war communism before making their way to the West. The young women they encountered in Eastern Europe were tough, jaded, bitter, and suspicious after enduring the Nazis and communism. American girls, by contrast, were practically too good to be true to Roman and his friends--they simply could not get over it.
Read through the archives of this site going back to, say, 2015 and you'll discover that Helter Skelter is anything but debunked. Granted, it would be fair to say that probably the majority opinion would be "I do not believe HS was a reason behind the Tate/LaBianca murders." But debunked ? Not a chance. People have been trying to debunk it since 1970 and I've yet to come across anyone that has succeeded in doing so. There's a reason why there are so many alternative theories !
Okay, this weird. I turned on the Sharon Tate memorial. Turned it off after a couple seconds. Scrolled down to something, and the damn started again. Scrolled back, put the cursor on off position. Scrolled down again, and the music started agin.

Happy birthday, Sharon. Forever young and beautiful.

Appropriate and fitting tribute. Thank you for this :)
