Here is a great look back at the lovely little sister of Sharon, Patti Tate:

And here is an old letter she wrote some years back (dated January 29, 1999) :

Hi there!

Thanks for coming to my site and wanting to know a bit more about me. As you know by now, I am Patricia Tate, known as "Patti" to my family and friends.

Many people already do know much about me and my life's circumstances. I would like to be a much more private person, but that's not what life handed me.

My father is Colonel Paul Tate and my Mom, now deceased, was Doris Tate, and they were originally from Houston, Texas. We were an Army family and were moved around the world quite a bit. We lived for awhile in Verona, Italy when I was really young. I was the baby of the family, Debbie is 5 years older and Sharon was 15 years older than me.

The only thing I feel like saying right now regarding Sharon is that most people don't realize that she was only a famous movie star for the last two and a half years of her life. I do have my own fond memories of her that I would like to remain private. It just kind of bugs me that the thing she seems most known for is her death. Is it really necessary for me to say how painful the whole thing was? Just put yourself in my shoes, how would you feel, and how would something like that affect your family?

My mother was of course, completely devastated. It took her a few years to deal with it and when she came to, she took it on with a major vengeance and became a leading Victims Rights Advocate. She fought with everything she had until the day that she died. There were times when I didn't feel like she was completely there for me, as she was so consumed by what she had to do to get laws changed and other related activities. But I took solace in the notion that if something like that had happened to me, she would fight to the end for me, too. Being a mother myself, I can now relate to where she was coming from.

In 1978, I married Don Ford, who at that time played in the NBA for the Lakers. We separated in 1992, of "irreconcilable differences". But three good things came out of our union, our children.

I have been busy these past seven years since Mom died, and Don and I split up, raising my kids and getting back into the work force. I am glad I was able to stay home with them while they were all young.

In the late winter of 1997, I felt a lump in my breast and had it biopsied, and was terrified to learn that that it was already Stage II Breast Cancer. I had a partial mastectomy and they gave me really strong chemotherapy which put it into remission by July 1997. The chemo was hell. It made my hair fall out and I thought I looked like a martian. It made me sick to my stomach and made me crazy in my head. I really thought I was going nuts! Thank God, I had family and friends to watch out for me and the kids, 'cause boy, oh boy, it was a really rough time.

I stayed in remission for over a year and went in for frequent check ups. The news was not so good in the in the fall of 1998. The cancer was back at Stage IV and had spread to my lymph system. It settled in my lungs and that's where it is. It's metastacized, like cotton candy. Breathing is a bit of a chore now. I have to be careful.

When I first told Robin the cancer was back, I told her what the Doctors had told me. There was nothing I could do and she set about making this site to get some good prayers and positive energy going. Well, two weeks ago I flew to Duke Medical University in North Carolina to hopefully be chosen to participate in the new breast cancer vaccine they're experimenting with. They didn't accept me, but what did they say was "Go home, get on some strong chemo, get the cancer into remission and come back in three months".

So that's the plan right now. I'm back on the chemo and trying to boost my immune system.

As a Christian, I believe in the power of prayer. Please pray for me and let God's will be done.



I would like to wish the very best to Patti's children and other family members.  May this wonderful lady Rest in peace.

Quote of the Week, Fake Photos of Sharon, Sharon as a young girl and Polanski's Newest Project

Here is a nice quote I found that comes from Sharon herself:

"A pretty face isn't really all that important.  It will open doors but that's it.  You have to have talent to back what you have going in front."--from the LA Times

Here are some more fakes being sold on ebay of Sharon every now and then so be careful!

This one is of Jerry Hall done by Terry O'Neill.

Here is a link to a great photo of young Sharon and her mother, Doris:

And Roman is working on his next film:

Kate Winslet to star in Roman Polanski's next

Oscar-winning actress Kate Winslet is all set to star in controversial director Roman Polanski's film adaptation of Yasmina Reza's play 'God of Carnage'. Although set in New York, the 'Titanic' star will work on Polanski's film in Paris because the filmmaker is banned from entering America. Polanski fled the country in 1977 after he was convicted of having unlawful sex with a 13-year-old girl.

The filmmaker has roped in two other Oscar-winners Jodie Foster and Christoph Waltz to play pivotal roles, reported The Independent. The second male lead is rumored to be Matt Dillon.

Reza's Tony Award-winning play tells the story of two sets of parents who meet after their sons are involved in a fight. The meeting takes a turn with attacks on each other's parenting and then assaults against the marriages.

Quote of the Week, Last Person to See Sharon Alive?, Hauntings in America Makes Mistakes, and What Kind of Grandmother Would Sharon have made?

Here is our Quote of the Week by Sharon's mother Doris: 

Small clipping of Sharon and Doris and their dogs.

"I know I was horrible at times, I was, I really kept a tight rein on, I had to, I felt fine about Sharon being a star, as long as I was close by. You cannot protect your kids, you just can't, there are 24 hours in a day."

Here is a web mention of Sharon but it doesn't provide much for details?

http://www.cocosvariety.com/2010/09/hans-ohrt-beverly-hills.html

Did he see Sharon leaving El Coyote Restaurant or is there something I don't know about?  If anyone knows please leave a message here or email me.

This Hauntings of America appears to be off with the facts, for instance calling Roman "Rob" Polanski and others:

http://www.itvexposed.com/hauntings-in-america-hauntings-across-america/

I saw that today is Grandparents day and I was wondering what kind of Grandmother Sharon would have made?  I'm sure she would have been wonderful and would have loved babysitting.  Here is a web mention of famous grandmothers, like Goldie Hawn:

http://specials.msn.com/A-List/Lifestyle/Famous-grandparents.aspx?cp-documentid=25526307&imageindex=1&cp-searchtext=Famous%20grandparents

That's one thing we have never really heard about either; I wonder what kind of relationship Sharon had with her own grandparents?  If anyone knows feel free to message here or email me.  Thanks and Happy Grandparents Day to you if you are one! ;)

Doris Tate in Her Own Words, Sharon and Elke Video and Masked Marauders Album?

Some people have emailed me about this great video that has recently been uploaded to YouTube.  Doris Tate is wonderful in it.  However, I can't say as much about her interviewer, Bill Nelson.  Nelson, as you may know, was found out later to just be using the Tate family and when Doris found out she no longer had anything to do with him.  But that is another story.  Thanks to everyone and Andrea for loading this.  I love hearing Doris' words.  There are 7 parts, so be sure to see them all.  Here is the link that was emailed to me:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xSgD-4b_y1g&feature=related

Here is an Elke Sommer and Sharon video that has also been uploaded recently:

http://desi-agent.com/the-unbelievable-elke-sommer-sharon-tate-in-the-wrecking-crew-1969.php

And does anyone know the history behind this album?  It supposedly has Sharon on it's cover? Is it really her?  And why was she chosen to be on it?  Is this a redone Polanski Playboy photo?  I can't find my edition but it reminds me of one with her and Ferdy Mayne?

Thanks for everyone's recent emails!  It makes my day to hear from you!

Quote of the Week, Yuba Exhibit Shows Victims, and Sharon Tate as a Gift?

I found a quote today that I thought would make Sharon laugh:

If people never did silly things, nothing intelligent would ever get done.

- Ludwig Wittgenstein

I was thinking of little things Sharon used to do like overwatering her plants and having the water come out of the bottoms all over.  On the contrary though, I do not thing this shows Sharon as being dumb. I think we all do silly things sometimes.  At least Sharon could laugh at herself.  But that doesn't mean she was not intelligent.  I think she was... I recall Deborah saying somewhere that Sharon was kind of like Goldie Hawn.  And even though Goldie could do silly and funny things too, that does not mean she was not a very savvy career woman. I think Sharon would have become more known this way if she had lived.  After all, she was still relatively young when she died and we all know that we change in our thirties in the way we think of things.

Yuba exhibit puts face on victims of violence

http://www.appeal-democrat.com/news/victims-94224-photographs-ended.html

Twenty-five photographs tell a story of lives ended — but never forgotten.

The Yuba County residents who were victims of homicides are displayed at the courthouse and county Government Center for National Crime Victims Rights Week.

Jason Roper, Victim Witness Program manager for the Yuba County Probation Department, said the photos put faces to people whom some may know only as names in a newspaper story.

"It's definitely created a huge emotional reaction," Roper said. "It's caused a lot of discussion."

Michelle Porter — stepmother to Crystal Porter, 19, who died with her 1-year-old daughter Katelynn in a suspicious Sept. 17, 2006, fire in Marysville — said her family members and all those shown in the photos shared a similar fate.

"They were all taken from us way too soon," Michelle Porter said.

The photographic project by Victim Witness, she said, follows extraordinary help from the county agency since the 2006 deaths. "Victim Witness has always been there for myself and my family," Porter said.

Such help had not always been available here or elsewhere.

Dan Levey, national president of Parents of Murdered Children, said a presidential task force started in 1982 by President Ronald Reagan was a key part of efforts to assist crime victims. Levey praised the Yuba County photo project.

"It gives meaning and honor to who they were," he said.

Bilenda Harris-Ritter, a Folsom attorney who is on the board of the national parents group, said that before the early 1980s, the criminal justice system often overlooked crime victims.

"People don't see the victims in a murder case," Harris-Ritter said. "They do see the defendant every day."

U.S. Attorney General Eric H. Holder, in a letter about the Crime Victims Week, noted the event evokes powerful memories of a time when victim support services were not available to those harmed by crime.

"In the not so distant past, victims were being routinely excluded from courtrooms," Holder wrote.

Sandy Fonley, who worked for Yuba County in victim assistance for more than two decades, said the 1969 murder of actress Sharon Tate and four others in Los Angeles by the Manson Family helped spur attention to crime victims.

Doris Tate, Sharon's mother, had said her daughter's celebrity status shouldn't have made her death more significant than others, recounted Fonley, who met Doris Tate.

Fonley recalled Tate saying, "My daughter happened to be beautiful," as she crusaded for the rights of all victims.

And I bet a lot of men would love to have Sharon as a gift. ;)  Here is a look back at one of the bits from the Beverly Hillbillies episodes.  Be sure and watch the whole thing to see what I am talking about. :)

Hope everyone is having a great weekend!

The Meaning of a Name: Doris Tate and Ewan McGregor Compares Polanski to His Mother

I haven't done this in awhile and thought it would be interesting to put in Sharon's mother's name and see what it says:

You entered: Doris Gwendolyn Willet Tate

There are 24 letters in your name.

Those 24 letters total to 113


There are 8 vowels and 16 consonants in your name.

What your first name means:  Greek Female Gift. In Greek mythology, the daughter of Oceanus and mother of the sea-nymph Nereids; also the name of a district of Greece. Famous bearer: American actress Doris Day.

Your number is: 5

The characteristics of #5 are: Expansiveness, visionary, adventure, the constructive use of freedom.

The expression or destiny for #5:

The number 5 Expression endows with the wonderful characteristic of multi-talents and versatility. You can do so many things well. The tone of the number 5 is constructive freedom, and in your drive to attain this freedom, you will likely be the master of adaptability and change. You are good at presenting ideas and knowing how to approach people to get what you want. Naturally, this gives you an edge in any sort of selling game and spells easy success when it comes to working with people in most jobs. Your popularity may lead you toward some form of entertainment or amusement. Whatever you do, you are clever, analytical, and a very quick thinker.

If there is too much of the 5 energy in your makeup, you may express some the negative attitudes of the number. Your restless and impatient attitude may keep you from staying with any project for too long. Sometimes you can be rather erratic and scatter yourself and your energies. You have a hard time keeping regular office hours and maintaining any sort of a routine. You tend to react strongly if you sense that your freedom of speech or action is being impaired or restricted in any way. As clever as you are, you may have a tendency to make the same mistakes over and over again because much of your response is glib reaction rather that thoughtful application. You are in a continuous state of flux brought by constantly changing interests.

Your Soul Urge number is: 1

A Soul Urge number of 1 means:

Your Soul Urge is the number 1. With a Soul Urge number of 1, you want to lead and direct, to work independent of supervision, by yourself or with subordinates. You take pride in your abilities and want to be recognized for them. You may seek opportunities to display your strength and usefulness, wanting to create and originate. In your desire to manage the big picture and the main issues, you may often leave the details to others.

The positive 1 Soul Urge is Ambitious and determined, a leader seeking opportunities. There is a great deal of honesty and loyalty in this character. If you possess positive 1 Soul Urge qualities, you are very attainment oriented and driven to success. You are a loyal friend and strictly fair in your business dealings.

The negative side of the 1 Soul Urge must be avoided. A negative 1 is apt to dominate situations and people; the home, the spouse, the family and the business. Emotions aren't strong in this nature. If you possess an excess of 1 energy, you may, at times, be boastful and egotistic. You must avoid being too critical and impatient of trifles. The great need of the 1 Soul Urge is the development of friendliness, and a sincere interest in people.

Your Inner Dream number is: 4

An Inner Dream number of 4 means:

You dream of being a very solid citizen that people can depend upon. You strive for organization and predictable order. You want to be recognized as a person with a plan and the discipline to make that plan work like clockwork.

Here's an interesting small article I found today:

Ewan McGregor has compared Roman Polanski to his mother, because they are both “annoying”, and “usually right”.

The 38-year-old Scottish actor worked with the legendary film director on new thriller The Ghost Writer. McGregor plays an author who discovers a deadly secret when he is commissioned to write the memoirs of a former British Prime Minister. He found the role extremely challenging because he was constantly being criticised by Polanski.

“Roman doesn’t sugar-coat his notes to anyone – he tells it as he sees it,” McGregor told Total Film magazine. “We were doing one scene and Roman wanted a pillar moved two inches to the right, so there was a props guy with a drill trying to unscrew this pillar.

“I was running the lines and Roman just grabbed my script and said, ‘No! Why would you f**king play it like this? You would play it like this…’ Then he walked away and grabbed the drill out of the props guy’s hands and said, ‘Why are you doing it like this? You f**king drill it like that!’

“Once you learn not to take it personally, it’s fantastic and he’s like your mother – annoyingly, usually right.”

The Ghost Writer will be released worldwide on April 16.

Debra Tate's New Blog, Another Star of the 1960s passes, Sharon as an Avatar? and More on Polanski

Debra Tate has started her own Blog called Tate Foundation.  It has video links, biographies of Sharon, her mother Doris, and sister Patti.  It will have more included in the future and it has a link to The Doris Tate Crime Victims Foundation.  Here is the link:

Another star of the 1960s passed away, Actor Fess Parker.  He is best known as TV's Davy Crockett and Daniel Boone.  He and Sharon are both noted for doing public service announcements for the NRA on the conservation side of that group.  Other stars included: Ed Ames, Walter Brennan, Slim Pickens, and on the lighter side funny accents from Sebastion Cabot and Ricardo Montalban.

I decided to do this fun thing. You can go to this site and make yourself into an avatar just like the ones in James Cameron's film:

New Update on the Polanski case:

http://www.nytimes.com/2010/03/19/movies/19polanski.html

Remembering Sharon Tate from a young age; One person who knew her and another who admired her from afar and Sharon as a Babe of Yore

Found some rare glimpses into Sharon on the net tonight that I thought I'd share...

 

Remembering Sharon:

Former Hollywood talent agent Chappy met Sharon when he was seven years old, and remembers her well. The following is Chappy's memories of Sharon Tate and the affect her murder had on him.

I met Sharon when I was little. I was 7 years old and recognized her with my mom at the market. She had on this tight bright yellow mini dress and that was shoulderless, but wrapped around the neck, with a big white vinyl belt she wore around it. Her hair was straight, perfectly combed straight and she had some sort of flower printed silk scarf around her head, that was wrapped around the hairline and underneath her hair. She wasn't wearing it like a bandana on the top of her head. She had big dark squarish-round sunglasses on. I had commented how pretty she was. How REALLY pretty she was, and I remember her saying to my mom, "Oh, isn't he the cutest!"

 

Then on occassions mom and I would bump into her again at the market. It got to be almost a random thing that she invited us to a cookout at her home.

Sharon was always friendly. You could never say a mean thing about her. She always made you feel comfortable around her.

 

I remember she had Christmas-type lights around the rail fence, that looked just beautiful at night. Sharon loved to decorate!

Roman was there and several of there friends on-and-off throughout the day would come to and fro there. I might have seen Voyteck and Gibby there, but I was to young to remember! If I bumped into Roman today, I don't think he'd remember me! Too many people came in and out of that place! I remember Cass Elliot from the Mamas & the Papas was there. She smoked alot! Sharon did too! Taryton cigarettes if I remember. She wasn't pregnant at the time! This was about the time her career started off!

 

I remember swimming in the pool alot and there were at least 4 or 5 dogs roaming about. I remember Sharon's [dog] Prudence...was always running around or in Sharon's lap, and how she'd lick my face all the time.

Prudence that is...not Sharon! Sharon always cradled Prudence like a baby! Hence the motherly instinct. I later learned through Debra Tate in a phone conversation, when I asked her "whatever became of Prudence?" Debra was quiet at first and told me when she learned to drive, she accidentally ran over Prudence when she was sleeping under the car! She felt really sad and guilty about it for the longest time and I told her that Prudence is with Sharon, and her Mom and Patti.

They [Sharon and Roman] had the grill in the driveway and I remember that I always thought it was so damn hot to have a grill there, with the sun beating down.

We went to 2 or 3 of these outings and then my dad was offered a new job and we moved [and] settled in Barrington, Rhode Island.

 

I didn't learn of the murders till after we moved! People don't realize how heinous the crime was! How violent it was!! People just figure it as another killing without so much knowing the details of it! Doris Tate always wanted people to see Sharon IN the crime & autopsy photos, so they knew how severe the crime was. And if people knew, then Watson, Atkins, Krenwinkle, and Van Houten wouldn't get out!!! Though Houten wasn't in the Tate killings, only LaBianca's!

I din't really mourn about it till years later when I understood about the crime itself, when I started getting back into Sharon memorabilia. I have about 700 some-odd photographs of her that I've collected over the years. In fact, I just won an Ebay item! It was a DVD of the tour of the Tate/Polanski home and the Spahn Ranch. It was suppossibly filmed by "Nine Inch Nails", Trent Reznor who lived there in '93 and '94! So I can't wait to see it and remember it more!


Thanks for this from Vanessa and Elizabeth.

 

And a blogger remembers Sharon as Janet Trego:

http://www.liketelevision.com/blog/2009/09/sharon-tate-as-janet-trego.html

Well, as a young boy (age 6-8 years old) - I loved the episodes with Miss Jane's assistant Janet Trego, played by Sharon Tate. She was really pretty and had a wonderful innocence about her that I found especially appealing. I was way too young to understand all the sexual innuendo jokes and I was a big fan of her white rain helmet hair, a style worn by many of the young women and mothers of the day. And though I did not really know what it meant, I always thought she was really cool. I had no idea who Roman Polanski was or anything, I was just a kid.

 

And I will never forget the news one day (August 9, 1969) - when I learned that a lady named Sharon Tate, the actress who played Janet Trego on the show, was murdered. And worse - she was very pregnant when it happened, so her soon to be born baby was also killed in the murder. It is hard to describe how awful such things are in the mind of a young boy, but I remember it to this day. And I was a huge fan of The Beatles too, but for a long time, The White Album, filled with songs like Helter Skelter and Little Piggies gave me the creeps for several years. Till I was a teenager - and had grown as creepy as the society I lived in. (for a sample of the times, check out Angels as Hard as They Come, Maybe I'll Come home in the Spring, or Born to Win) - Lots of people thought the "new age" of the 1960s with free love (see Harrad Experiment) and all the new way of thinking was really cool, but as a young kid, I am awful glad my parents were squares.

Anyway - Susan Atkins, the woman who killed Sharon Tate died today of cancer. She was 61. That is all the ink she is going to get from me today. Personally, I would rather remember Sharon Tate, and how I thought she was really pretty when I just a seven year old kid. Nothing nasty like so much of today's world. I just thought she was really pretty, and as one often does at that age, I imagined she was also quite a nice person. Of course I never knew her, but I am happy to remember her today.

Sharon Tate as one of the Babes of Yore:

I certainly agree that she's one of the world's best ever!

Debra Tate Disturbed to Find Murder Scene Items Used in Exhibition, Rare Photos of Celebrities, and Some Rare Videos

I got the computer tonight and was surprised by the news that the LAPD had items on a display at a homicide investigators conference in Las Vegas that were very graphic and 'too close to home' for victims.

Apparently, the rope that hung Sharon and Jay was on display and even Robert Kennedy's shirt from his assasination was there.  There were also some weapons used at the Manson murders on display.  The items have since been removed.

"This is supposed to be a learning experience," Police Chief Charlie Beck told The Associated Press on Wednesday. "It wasn't intended to cause anyone grief or to be prurient or salacious in any way."

 Debra Tate, the sister of Sharon Tate, said she and family members of other victims should have been notified in advance that evidence was going to be shown.

"A little warning would have been nice so we could prepare ourselves emotionally," Tate said. "It's part of the insensitivity the department shows toward victims. We're being victimized over and over again.

"From my perspective it's very disturbing. Number one, I didn't get any notice that this was going to occur.

"These are very personal artifacts to me. These are things that bring back horrible memories, not only for myself, but other Manson family victims."

Tate plans to complain to the LAPD. However, she said she understands the value of the exhibit.

"I understand using it as a teaching tool and keeping the public aware of how heinous these murders were," she said. "From that aspect it's very important."
