Sharon Marie
Tate Polanski (January 24, 1943 – August 9, 1969) was an
American actress and model. During the 1960s, she played small television
roles before appearing in films and was regularly featured in fashion magazines as a
model and cover
girl. After receiving positive reviews for her comedic and
dramatic acting performances, Tate was hailed as one of Hollywood's
most promising newcomers.
She made her
film debut in 1966 with the occult-themed Eye
of the Devil. Her most remembered performance was as Jennifer North in
the 1967 cult
classic film, Valley of the Dolls, earning her
a Golden Globe Award nomination. Tate's last
completed film, 12+1 was released posthumously in 1969,
with the actress receiving top billing.
On January
20, 1968, Tate married Roman Polanski, her director
and co-star in 1967's The Fearless Vampire Killers. On
August 9, 1969, Tate and four others were murdered
by members of the Manson Family in the home she shared with Polanski.
At the time of her death, she was eight-and-a-half months pregnant with the
couple's son.
A decade
after Tate's murder, the actress' mother, Doris Tate,
in response to the growing cult
status of the killers and the possibility of them being granted parole, organized
a public campaign that resulted in amendments to the California criminal law. Tate's mother went
on to say that the law would "help transform Sharon's legacy from murder
victim to a symbol of victims' rights". A book by Tate's sister, Debra
Tate, titled Sharon Tate: Recollection, was released in 2014.
