"I think they found this vulnerability and beauty in Sharon, she was just so beautiful. Sharon in this movie, was beyond this movie. Her makeup was of today and her look was of today. Look at this, is that not the most exquisite face? See, she had an exquisite body too. That was just Sharon, a natural beauty, her body was just beautiful. Look at those legs, that face! I think she did her own makeup, I think she asked to do her own makeup for the movie. I mean, look at her eyes!"—Barbara Parkins, quote taken from her audio commentary on the Special Edition DVD of "Valley of the Dolls", 2006.

“Sharon was more than just stunning to look at. She wasn't naïve or stupid or a cliché starlet. What had impressed me most about her, quite apart from her exceptional beauty, was the sort of radiance that springs from a kind and gentle nature.

To live with me was proof of her patience, because to be near me must be an ordeal. She never had a bad temper, she was never moody. She enjoyed being a wife. The press and the public knew of her physical beauty, but she also had a beautiful soul, and this is something that only her friends knew about.”—Roman Polanski

@Madeleine Elster como sé que te gusta Ingrid Pitt, a lo mejor te interesa leer esto (va en spoiler, que es largo):

Ingrid Pitt, 2008:

"A photograph which was particularly poignant was a small picture of me with Sharon Tate, standing in a hotel lobby, making a telephone call. I remember the evening well."

"I was in Rome to audition for Frederico Fellini. Very exciting! Get a Fellini film and the world was your crustacean. The meeting didn’t go well. He said I was too thin and wanted me to fatten up if he was to consider me for a part. It didn’t appeal. Back at the hotel I was introduced to Sharon Tate by the manager. She was so fragile and beautiful it brought out the mothering instinct in me. She had been invited to dinner that evening by a friend of her husband. She asked me if I would like to join her. It suited me. Her husband, film director Roman Polanski, was hot at the time. I guess he’s hot now - but for all the wrong reasons. When we got to the restaurant there was half a dozen blokes with attitude, ready and waiting. Typical macho Italians. They instantly went into mating mode and made a lot of noise and swilled back the wine like storm drains. Very wearisome. By about eleven Sharon and I had had enough. On the pretext of ‘powdering ‘ our nose, we grabbed our coats and rang for a taxi. We were spotted by a journalist who grabbed a picture.

For the next couple of days we ‘did’ Rome. Sharon was enthusiastic but didn’t have a lot of stamina. It was an enjoyable few days. When Sharon left she made me promise that next time I was in Los Angeles I’d call her. The opportunity came sooner that expected. A couple of weeks later I rang Sharon to tell her that I had been invited to a sportscar race in Laguna Seca in Monterey and I asked her if she would like to join me. She didn’t fancy it but suggested that I should spend a few days at her home in Benedict Canyon. That suited me. It would give me another chance to meet her husband. I had met Roman a year or so earlier at Brand Hatch during a testing session. It hadn’t been a good time to button hole him and parade the highlights of my practically non-existent career but he might be more susceptible in a relaxed mood at home. So two days later I dumped my bags in the cool dark entrance hall of her beautiful home and prepared to settle in. Sharon was her usual etherial, spaced out self. As she showed me to my room she apologised for the fact that Roman had to go away for a few days. Ah well! You can’t have everything. When we were in Rome I had noticed Sharon was in the habit of leaving the door to her room open. I warned her against it but she wasn’t interested. She suffered from claustrophobia and couldn’t stand having the doors shut. This was carried over to her house. I never saw a shut door all the time I was there. Not even to the bathroom.

The end of the week came and I thought I had better head for home. Sharon and I promised undying friendship and I never saw her again.

About six weeks later the Manson gang turned up at her house and murdered her and her unborn child as well as some of her friends who happened to be there at the time. It was awful. I couldn’t bear to think of the suffering of that beautiful woman at the hands of the beasts who attacked her. Sharon really was a paid up member of the ‘Beautiful People’. Generous and not an ounce of spite in her.

When I look at that picture of the two of us crammed into a phone box together I want to cry."

Ni idea de lo de Ingrid.

Efectivamente, Sharon debió de ser una gran persona, hasta el fiscal Bugliosi dijo que de todas las personas a las que entrevistó, y fueron muchas, nadie tuvo nada malo que decir sobre ella. Eso sí, no tenía buen ojo para los hombre; Polasko no se la merecía, le fue infiel en más de una ocasión, también tuvo un novio francés que la maltrataba... creo que Jay Sebring fue el que mejor la trató, pero por otra parte, también era muy mujeriego y su afición por las prácticas s***ales sadomasoquistas era prácticamente de dominio público.

@Topa gracias por los aportes, estos hilos no tendrían mucho sentido sin al menos un poco de participación.

Ahora que sale a colación la casa de Jay Sebring, un chascarrillo: se dice que está encantada y que en ella habita el fantasma de Paul Bern, el segundo marido de Jean Harlow, el cual se suicidó en la casa de un disparo en la sien.

"After she finishes the movie [Eye of the Devil], she is going back to Hollywood. When I asked her if she has a nice villa with a pool she started laughing. She then described the house she stays in that was formerly owned by Jean Harlow and then husband, Paul Bern. 'Around the house at night, people swear they see and hear Paul Bern's ghost.' she said. 'He ended up committing suicide there. It's just one of those houses where you get scared. The Harlow house is lugubrious, but the day I brought over my little sisters they had so much fun. Life was back to normal then,' she laughs"—excerpt from Sharon's interview with Lydia Lane, published in November, 1965.

Qué majo el gabacho

Sharon Tate in 1964 with her then-boyfriend, French actor Philippe Forquet. The two dated from 1963 to '64 and were even engaged at some point during their relationship, much to the chagrin of Sharon's manager and mother. It is said that Philippe was physically abusive and on one particular occasion involving a broken wine bottle, Sharon ended up in the emergency room. Ultimately, they parted ways, supposedly due to the pressures of their work. Philippe broke his silence not long after Sharon's death and claimed that she was the abuser and he'd only acted in self-defense.
