When it comes to Hollywood actress Sharon Tate (1943-1969), anyone who knows a little bit about American history always thinks of the infamous murder case in which Sharon Tate was brutally murdered by cult leader Charles Manson, Charlie Manson.
Many viewers should have seen Quentin Tarantino's Once Upon a Time by Quentin Tarantino. In Hollywood (2019), the film attracted much attention at the time because it told the story of the murder of the "Manson family" that sensationalized the United States, and one of the most high-profile cases was the actress Sharon Tate (1943-1969) who was abused and killed by members of the "Manson family" on August 9, 1969, when she was eight months pregnant.

Sharon Tate was one of the most promising young actresses in Hollywood in the mid-to-late 1960s, but unfortunately she was killed in the middle of her life, and now when people think of her, they always think of her as a tragic victim, and the fact that she was once a star-studded star has been completely ignored.
Sharon Tate was born on January 24, 1943 in Texas, United States. Her path to fame is also quite bizarre. Her father was an American military officer, and she had no place to live with her two sisters.

Whenever their father was sent to a new military base, they had to move with them. The sisters' childhood life is not easy, because they have always had difficulty establishing long-term friendships with their friends.
Ironically, after relocating to Verona, Italy, Sharon Tate found her lifelong career. Her beauty made her famous in the local area. Hemingway's Adventures of a Young Man (1962), a 20th Century Fox film, happened to be shot near her home.

Sharon Tate went to the set that day to watch, and her appearance immediately attracted the attention of Richard Beymer, an American film star who was filming on the spot.
The two then start dating. Richard Bemel was convinced that Sharon Tate would one day become an actor. He persuaded Sharon Tate to enter the film industry and introduced her to a small role in the film. Sharon Tate was studying psychiatry.
Eventually, with the persuasion of Richard Bemel, Sharon Tate became passionate about acting.

In fact, as early as the filming of the Italian film Barabbas (1961), she met Jack Parrans Jack Palance (1919-2006).
Jack Parrance was also captivated by Sharon Tate, who also invited Sharon Tate to play a small role in the film. It's just that at that time, Sharon Tate just thought it was funny, and didn't want to develop in the film industry in the future.
By 1962, when Sharon Tate's family moved to Los Angeles, Sharon Tate began to devote herself to the world. Producer Martin Ransohoff (1927–2017) signed her to a 7-year contract. He suggested that Sharon Tate first play small roles in popular TV dramas to hone his acting skills.

In the years that followed, Sharon Tate played lesser-than-spectacular roles in the films The Cincinnati Kid (1965) and The Sound of Music (1965), but she was still young in the eyes of the people.
Martin Lansohof served as her agent during this period, and Sharon Tate took the opportunity to star in his film Emily's Americanization of Emily (1964) and the popular love triangle love story starring Elizabeth Taylor (1932-2011) and Richard Burton Richard Burton (1925-1984). The Spring Breeze Hates The Sandpiper (1965).
Both films were huge hits, and Sharon Tate gradually gained some exposure.

In 1966, Sharon Tate finally worked under J. Lee Thompson. Lee Thompson (1914–2002) starred in the gothic horror film Eye of the Devil (1966) and left a very deep impression on the audience.
The stars who were paired with Sharon Tate were David Niven (1910–1983) and Deborah Kerr (1921–2007).
Sharon Tate plays a beautiful young woman who is unaware of the threat she faces. Martin Lansohof was impressed by her performance in the film. Sharon Tate thus became the focal point of the film.

David Hemmings (1941-2003) and Sharon Tate's roles in The Devil's Eye are particularly eye-catching. And the black-and-white photography greatly increases the tension, disturbing from the first minute, and every minute exudes a sense of menace.
Several of the main actors are highly watchable, and even if the British actors who participate in the play play the Frenchman, it is still just as praiseworthy. The film is consistently engaging, and while it doesn't live up to the desired level, Sharon Tate makes an important visual impression.
It was during this period that Sharon Tate met Polish director Roman Polanski in England.
At the age of 33, Roman Polanski was in the midst of a spring breeze, when he was a high-profile film talent in the European New Wave film scene.
By then, Roman Polanski had already made two high-grossing films for major studios, Repulsion in Cold Blood (1965) and Cul-de-sac (1966).

Martin Lansohof, with American and British investment, prepared to produce the spoof horror film The Fearless Vampire Killers, or Pardon Me, But Your Teeth Are in My Neck (1967). When he heard that Roman Polanski had decided to invite Jill St. John to play the film's lead actress, Martin Lansokhov thought that Gill St. John was not suitable for the film. He strongly recommended Sharon Tate to Roman Polanski.
At first, Roman Polanski was already very upset that Martin Lansokhov interfered with his casting, and when Sharon Tate first entered the group, Roman Polanski did not appreciate Sharon Tate's acting skills, and often gave Sharon Tate a look.

But as the filming of "The Master Catches the Demon" gradually entered a smooth stage, Roman Polanski slowly felt that Sharon Tate's sense of innocence was very suitable for the film.
In particular, when Roman Polanski and Sharon Tate played against each other in "The Master of Heaven", he suddenly found that Sharon Tate was not vulgar, sexy but elegant temperament, and the love between the two began to sprout.
Apparently the appearance of Sharon Tate made him quickly forget the betrayal of his Polish ex-wife Barbara Rass (1940-1995).

As the filming progressed, Roman Polanski's relationship with Sharon Tate developed rapidly, which also seriously affected the filming work.
Martin Lansokhov looked into his eyes and verbally warned Roman Polanski not to disappoint investors.
At this time, Sharon Tate was increasingly unable to perform normally on the set of "The Master of The Demon" because she could not hide her emotions, but Roman Polanski showed a consistent tough attitude on the set, and even repeatedly appeared abusive. Especially when filming The shot of Sharon Tate bathing in the bathtub, Roman Polanski was able to shoot Sharon Tate 70 times.

As the film came to an end, Sharon Tate rightfully moved into Roman Polanski's apartment, on the seashore in Saint-Tremblès in the south of France, and the two completed their first intimate trip, although it was not a good memory.
After the film was released, Roman Polanski was surprised to find that the studio's edited footage was completely inconsistent with his original intentions. The film was raucous at the time, but now it has become a critically acclaimed cult film. "Devil's Eye" also failed to ignite the enthusiasm of film critics, and some professional organizations began to doubt whether Sharon Tate could become a true "star of tomorrow".

I wonder how Roman Polanski feels now when he thinks back on The Devil's Eye? At least one beautiful woman, in her prime, with his love, fixed on the screen and alone...
In 1967, Sharon Tate decided to play the heroine in a film based on Jacqueline Susan's novel Valley of the Dolls (1967) by Jacqueline Susan (1918–1974). The book reveals the dark side of Hollywood, and the novel was a sensation after its publication.
The film version, despite its superstarity, is still criticized by film critics. However, the influence of bad reviews is not large. The film did quite well at the box office because people needed this type of film.

Sharon Tate also benefited from the promotion of Dolls Valley. Her glamorous photographs have been featured on the cover of magazines around the world.
MGM released The Monster in North America, which gave Roman Polanski the opportunity to step into Hollywood.
After reading Rosemary's Baby (1968), Rosemary's Baby (1968), Roman Polanski agreed with Robert Evans ( 1930–2019) Vice Chairman of Paramount Corporation to make the original film.

Early in the filming of Rosemary's Baby, Sharon Tate also auditioned. Although Roman Polanski had the intention of letting her play the heroine, robert Evans strongly opposed it, resulting in Sharon Tate missing the heroine of the film. She was also frustrated by this. But Sharon Tate's fame from Dolls Valley was just soothing her pain.
On 20 January 1968, Sharon Tate married Roman Polanski in London. Their wedding attracted a large number of journalists, even more than the number of guests. The fashion couple in the film industry immediately became the focus of media attention.

Roman Polanski then threw himself into the filming of Rosemary's Baby, which was released nationwide on June 12, 1968, and starring Mia Farrow by Mia Farrow, made Roman Polanski a household name in the United States.
Rosemary's Baby was an unprecedented success, reversing paramount's economic decline and making the lives of Roman Polanski and Sharon Tate luxurious, allowing them to travel freely between Europe and the United States, travel, or work for the first time in their lifetimes.

At this time, Sharon Tate announced that she was pregnant. They need a more spacious house to prepare their children for their birth. On February 12, 1969, Roman Polanski rented a house in the Kegnon area of Los Angeles.
It is worth mentioning that Sharon Tate read a book during her pregnancy and told Roman Polanski that the book could make a great film, which later gave birth to Tess Tess (1979).

Later, she and Dean Martin Martin (1917–1995) played a beautiful but clumsy female agent in the fourth Matt Helm series, Super Intelligence Officer McHan 4The Wrecking Crew (1969).
This is also the main role of another type she plays. Sharon Tate's performance in the film is very good, and it will be too hot in other films, but it will naturally coincide in this film, and it is cute and cute.

However, "Super Intelligence Agent McHan 4" has become the object of ridicule by critics - because it is a copy of 007 in its entirety, but many fans of Dean Martin still praise the film.
Unexpectedly, in this spy comedy film "Super Intelligence Officer McHan 4", it was Bruce Lee (1940-1973) who served as the film's technical director.
Bruce Lee was in Hollywood at the time to survive, and the position of action director in the movie Super Intelligence Officer McHan 4 was actually recommended by Sharon Tate's ex-boyfriend, Hollywood hairstylist Jay Sebring (1933-1969).

This begins in 1964, when Bruce Lee participated in the martial arts performance of the Long Beach International Karate Championships, and Jay Seplin also participated in this event, and when he saw Bruce Lee's live martial arts exercises, he began to become interested in martial arts, so he and Bruce Lee became friends under the introduction of friends.

In February 1969, Sharon Tate starred with Hollywood director Orson Welles (1915-1985) in the little-known and very interesting Italian comedy film Thirteen Auspicious Una su 13 (1970), which was her last work.
By this time she was almost 2 months pregnant, and after filming "Thirteen Lucky", Sharon Tate spent most of her pregnancies in London with Roman Polanski, who was busy preparing for the new film, and when Sharon Tate realized that she had to go back to the United States to give birth, she was 8 months pregnant, and no airline wanted her to take a flight.

As a last resort, Roman Polanski had to let Sharon Tate return by boat first, promising to return to the United States after completing his work in London.
It was this fatally wrong decision that led to a lifetime of remorse on Roman Polanski.
On August 9, 1969, which was supposed to be a happy weekend, as Roman Polanski was far away in preparation for a new film in Europe, Sharon Tate invited her ex-boyfriend Jay Seblin, as well as Polish friends Wötek Frykowski (1936-1969) and Steve Parret Steve Parent (1951-1969) and Abigail Folger (1943-1969).
