Sharon Tate: Recollection

Recommended Posts

I'm not sure how many of you know Sharon, but I wanted to start this thread because she's really remarkable to me.

Her sister released a book in honor of her sister towards the end of last year, called Sharon Tate: Recollection, which recounts her life before her death in 1969.

I bought the book and seen interviews of her on youtube and I've been such a fan of Sharon since. I think it's sad that she's widely known for how she was taken from this world and not the person she was or potential she had.

I actually talked about her with a friend the other day. I'm working on a project for uni and using Valley Of The Dolls as one of my references. Somehow we ended talking about Sharon and her horrible death. I don't know her much besides from that movie but she was absolutely gorgeous

I also watched Valley Of The Dolls, although I wasn't so enthralled by the movie itself (but it was illuminating and fun nevertheless, if one can call fun a tragic story of the doomed). The one that more striked me and exalted me was hilarious horror comedy "The Fearless Vampire Killers" by Roman Polanski. Even when he created the creepiest and the most morbid and disturbing pieces like the apartment trilogy (Repulsion, Rosemary's Baby and The Tenant), he injected in them a spark of his specific dark, satiric humor. "Vampire Killers" are not in that rank, but it is definitely worth watching just because of Sharon, who is irresistible candy, so pure and innocent yet so flaringly beautiful, with perfectly chiseled face, deep eyes and demeanour of sophisticated, fragile doe princess. And of course, she has shown in it that she has a potential for depicting a vast variety of characters. Here it can be seen that her role was guided by the man that adored her. She could perfectly emulate mysterious, dreamy and radiant creatures from ancient, sepia-tinted eras.

And she was also gorgeous as a redhead, as well as diva in elaborated antiquarian costumes.

PS. The book cover looks divine and iconic.
