Actress Sharon Tate was born on January 24, 1943, in Texas. She had several key roles that led to her success on the small screen, particularly in the television series Beverly Hillbillies. Her work in the film Eye of the Devil in 1965 was significant in Tate's life for two reasons: it was her first major role in a feature film and it was then that she met movie director Roman Polanski, who would evetually become her husband. On August 9, 1969,Tate was murdered while eight months pregnant with Polanski's child by a group run by Charles Manson.

Early Career

Actress Sharon Tate was born on January 24, 1943, in Dallas, Texas. Starting out in Hollywood in the early 1960s, Sharon Tate appeared in a recurring role on the television show, Beverly Hillbillies, and in bit parts in movies, including The Americanization of Emily (1964) and The Sandpiper (1965).
At six months of age, Sharon won the "Miss Tiny Tot of Dallas Pageant", but her parents had no show business ambitions for their daughter. Paul Tate was promoted and transferred several times. By age 16, as an army brat, Sharon had lived in six different cities, and she reportedly found it difficult to maintain friendships. Her family described her as shy and lacking in self-confidence. As an adult Sharon Tate commented that people often misinterpreted her shyness for aloofness until they knew her better.

Film Career

In 1965, she landed her first real movie role in Eye of the Devil, starring David Niven and Deborah Kerr. While filming the movie in London, she met the movie director Roman Polanski after auditioning successfully for his horror spoof, The Fearless Vampire Killers (1967). The couple began a romantic relationship, and were married in January 1968.

Sharon Tate's breakthrough performance came in the hit 1967 film, Valley of the Dolls, based on the best-selling novel by Jacqueline Susann and co-starring Patty Duke and Susan Hayward. Also in 1968, she appeared in Don't Make Waves with Tony Curtis, and had a starring role in the comedy The Wrecking Crew, with Dean Martin. With the success of Valley of the Dolls and Polanski's creepy thriller, Rosemary's Baby (1968), they became one of the most visible couples in Hollywood.

Marriage to Roman Polanski

In late 1967, Tate and Polanski returned to London, and were frequent subjects of newspaper and magazine articles. Tate was depicted as being untraditional and modern, and was quoted as saying that couples should live together before marrying. They were married in Chelsea, London on January 20, 1968 with considerable publicity. Polanski was dressed in what the press described as "Edwardian finery," while Tate was attired in a white minidress. The couple moved into Polanski's mews house off Eaton Square in Belgravia.Photographer Peter Evans later described them as "the imperfect couple. They were the Douglas Fairbanks/Mary Pickford of our time... Cool, nomadic, talented and nicely shocking."

While Tate reportedly wanted a traditional marriage, Polanski remained somewhat promiscuous and described Tate's attitude to his infidelity as "Sharon's big hang-up". He reminded Tate that she had promised that she would not try to change him.
Tate accepted Polanski's conditions, though she confided to friends that she hoped he would change. Peter Evans quoted Tate as saying, "We have a good arrangement. Roman lies to me and I pretend to believe him."

Murder

After completing filming on 12+1 (released in 1970) in Italy in 1969, Tate returned to Los Angeles, where she and her husband were renting a house on Cielo Drive in Bel Air. Polanski remained at the couple's home in England, working on his latest film. On August 9, 1969, the 26-year-old Tate (then eight months pregnant) was brutally murdered in her home, along with three houseguests and a teenage delivery boy, by a group of people who were later revealed as part of the "Manson family," a murderous cult driven by the apocalyptic fantasies of its deranged leader, Charles Manson.

Manson and four of his followers were convicted of those murders (along with two others) and sentenced to death in 1971; after California's temporary abolition of the death penalty in 1972, they are now serving life sentences and have repeatedly been denied parole.
