Jay Sebring, born Thomas John Kummer, was born on October 10, 1933 in Birmingham, Alabama. After a tour of duty in the Navy, Jay decided to enter into the hairstyling profession for men, where he revolutionized that industry. In Los Angeles, he founded the hairstyling corporation, Sebring International, and taught his hairstyling technique to students, while embarking on an ambitious campaign to open Sebring salons in other locations.
Jay married Bonnie Lee "Cami" Marple in 1960. The couple divorced in 1963. Jay subsequently purchased the former home of Jean Harlow and Paul Bern in Los Angeles, and met actress and model Sharon Tate in 1964, and began a relationship with her, which ended when Sharon met Roman Polanski. Polanski introduced Jay to Abigail Folger and her boyfriend Voytek Frykowski in the summer of 1968, at which time Sharon Tate and Polanski had already been married. Jay, Sharon, Roman, Abigail, and Voytek became close friends, with Abigail herself investing in Jay's company, Sebring International.
Jay's nephew, Anthony Di Maria, directed the documentary, Jay Sebring...Cutting to the Truth, which premiered in 2020.
Jay Sebring would have turned 90 on October 10th.

This video actually showed up in my YouTube recommendations a day or two ago.
I immediately knew that it was part of the series we've been able to enjoy
Cheers
What, Jay's still around? Well I'll be and forever more, as a friend's old fashioned dear aunt often says at unusual or surprising news.
Now, as a former Michiganer, as was hairstylist Jay, I say that this happened about this and that and other things: I've been going to Cuts Deluxe cause they're pert good and they mail coupons, once in a while.
However, I do theink taht Jay would have been a good guy to have ones hair styled with.
It's too much, all the thousands upon thousands of people murdered by other people in society. It seems that life has always been cheap, except the phony expressions of sadness in the media. In real life, it's a very diffrent story.
There were and are many Tex Watson's, so be careful ou there and at home. I'm sorry for that time at Cielo. And at Waverly, it's all too much, yet some people defend Charlie, I'd appreciate some explanations on that. Dig..?

When you first started writing here, you came across as someone that defended Charlie, with all your "Brother Charlie and the 3 angels" and the corrupt prosecution/Bugliosi talk.
Or maybe I dreamed it in an alternate universe....
"Or maybe I dreamed it in an alternate universe...."
Or maybe Fayez lives in an alternate universe? I went to university - I have letters after my name - one of which is a Ph.D [in Linguistics] - yet I struggle to know what Fayez is on about most of the time.
I think it is his belief that he has successfully explored the art of creative writing, but I beg to differ. And I'm always hard on people who don't have the time or inclination to proofread their posts before clicking 'send'. To me it shows a lack of respect for those for whom the post was intended.
But hey, maybe that's just me.
Proteus - My BA is in Linguistics! Such a fascinating field...
Indeed, Milly, though the joys of theoretical syntax are not for all.
I could blast Chomsky's theory of transformational grammar into next week if I had to pass that exam ever again...
My late dad would've been 100 years old on this date.
