Sharon's early life was one of constant moving as her father served in the military. When she lived in Italy, she was voted "Homecoming Queen" of her high school. After being an extra in a few Italian films, Sharon headed to Hollywood where she would again start as an extra. Her first big break came when she was cast as the shapely bank secretary, "Janet Trego", in the television series The Beverly Hillbillies (1962) (1963-1965). In 1967, she would meet her future husband, director Roman Polanski, on the set of the English film The Fearless Vampire Killers (1967). Sharon's big role would be that same year when she was the starlet in Valley of the Dolls (1967). With her marriage to Roman, her life became one of parties, travel and meeting influential movie people. She would appear as a red-haired beauty in the spy spoof The Wrecking Crew(1968) working with Dean Martin and the equally beautiful Elke Sommer. Sharon was 2 months pregnant of her first child while filming in Italy and France a funny Italian comedy movie 12 + 1 (1969) in February 1969.

Sharon was beautiful. I read some info on her through another thread. I didn't know much about her, I actually discovered her through Ghost Adventures lol.

I can't believe a woman like her married an ugly xes crazed leprechaun rat like Roman Polanski. He's vile and she deserved better.

I am glad to see this because I actually think of Sharon Tate fairly often. For her to be SO beautiful & the up & coming Hollywood "It Girl", only to meet such a horrifying end at only 26 years old... I have heard that people who knew her said she was incredibly sweet & not the least bit narcissistic. I hope Susan Atkins burns in hell for eternity.

I can’t imagine her final moments. It’s so sad what happened. But after so many years she’s still loved!
I heard some actors who were fond of her - including Jethro from Beverly Hillbillies - wanted her to have a star on the Hollywood walk of fame, but whomever is in charge wouldn't do it because she wasn't alive to accept the nomination or some such nonsense. I wish they would give her a star. She deserves at least that much.

Has every star on the walk of fame received it when they are alive? It would be really cool if she did since she really didn’t think she was a great actress.

She was stunning.

I felt bad that they also said she was not happy in her marriage at the time of death. Her friends said she loved him more than he loved her and she hoped he would stop having affairs when she got pregnant - but he didn’t.

He was drifting away from her but she thought the baby would save the marriage. I don’t know why someone like her would settle for him.

She and Donyale Luna were Hollywood acquaintances. I can't tell if they're modelling the same dress here, or if the dresses are just very similar:

I didn't realize that was a condition for receiving a star, but I'm pretty sure that's the reason they gave in whatever article I read. That doesn't seem like a good policy - someone like Sharon should definitely have a star.

What a good observation! Those dresses look the same!! I wonder if Sharon got hers altered so it’s shorter. She loved mini dresses/skirts.

Her eyes and her smile reflected all the beauty that she had inside too. Probably one of the most fascinating white beauties I have ever seen in Hollywood. She simply had such a warm and seductive aura that it's hard not to feel attracted to her.

NEW photos released by Terry O Neil!!! Sharon on the set of 12 +1.

Notice how the pictures we see of Sharon pregnant .. Roman is no where to be found? I understand she’s on set. But I haven’t seen any photos of her pregnant with Roman.

Her face was flawless. I feel as though she would have gone on to do great things. Losing Abigail Folger was also tragic - she wasn't a vapid rich girl, she was a social worker who did a lot in the Watts neighborhood. You didn't see many heiresses in that area in the 60s, and she could have just spent her time off jet setting. None of the people killed those 2 nights deserved what happened to them, but thinking of Sharon and Abigail always makes me particularly sad.

Her family never speaks or goes to the parole hearings. (Abigail's family) She also was dating Vortek the other man who was killed there. He was a big drug dealer and friend of Roman.

Abigail smoked weed the night she was killed. She was smoking and reading a book when they came in that night.

Her family is very involved in Folgers coffee still obviously. And like you said she was a social worker. She also worked for Bobby Kennedy’s Campaign.

We need more BLACK WOMAN appreciation threads, not MORE wipipo threads. Need I remind you mayos and azns that this is a BLACK forum for BLACK issues. Why can't any of you find your own pale forums to worship your pale masters?
Lol do you comment this on The Chris Evans appreciation page? Or the Travis Kelce appreciation page? Or the Britney Spears threads? Please get your racism out of here. I appreciate her work as an actress & model. If you don’t, simply don’t comment. (y)

She was actually really stunning. It makes me sad whenever I think of her because I always automatically think of her horrible death. :cry:
