Sharon Tate

Sharon Marie Tate (January 24, 1943-August 9, 1969) was an American actress and model. First beginning as a model and television actress, she began acting in films in 1966, debuting in Eye of the Devil.

Tate was eight and a half months pregnant with her first child when she, along with four others, was brutally murdered in her home by the Manson Family.

Legacy
Tate was viewed as one of Hollywood's most promising newcomers. Critics have reassesed her works after her death, and have described her comedic potential. Several of her films have developed a cult following.

After her death, her mother Doris fought to keep any of her daughter's killers from being granted parole, resulting in amendments to California law and allowing for the families of murder victims to be present at trials and parole hearings.
