In fact, the only thing connecting Tate and her husband to the Manson Family was that they happened to move into the Benedict Canyon home previously owned by record producer Terry Melcher (the son of actress Doris Day). From that account, Manson's choice in Tate appears to have less to do with her as an individual and much more to do with what she represented in Hollywood at that time. The Manson family murdered Sharon Tate simply to make a statement.Ītkins, when charged with another murder, reportedly told her prison inmate, Virginia Castro, she murdered Tate, "Because we wanted to do a crime that would shock the world, that the world would have to stand up and take notice," according to CNN.
Writer Wojciech Frykowski, coffee heiress Abigail Folger, celebrity hair stylist Jay Sebring, and Steven Parent, a friend of the family's gardener, were all murdered by Manson Family members Susan Atkins, Tex Watson, and Patricia Krenwinkel. The motive wasn't personal-and Tate wasn't the only victim. Perhaps one of the reasons why the actress's gruesome death still fascinates the public is the seemingly arbitrary nature of her victimhood. Now, it's being reexamined in Quentin Tarantino's latest film, Once Upon A Time in Hollywood, starring Leonardo DiCaprio, Brad Pitt, and Margot Robbie playing Tate. Then, the murder of such a famous woman-who was stabbed and hanged at the hands of a then-unknown cult leader Charles Manson and his followers-shook Los Angeles to its core.
At the time of Sharon Tate's death, the 26-year-old was eight-and-a-half months pregnant with her and Polanski's first child. The body of Valley of the Dolls actress Sharon Tate was discovered on August 9, 1969, at the home of her husband, director Roman Polanski.
