10 Donfeld Costume Sketches from Estate Sale from "Don't Make Waves", The Life and Films of Roman Polanski article and a Special Photo Tribute to "The Fearless Vampire Killers" for Halloween!

Apparently, Donfeld who did the costume design for "Don't Make Waves", has had a recent estate sale and someone got quite a treasure of his sketches for Claudia Cardinale:

I'd love to see his sketches for Sharon's character.   I wonder who has those?

Here is a new web mention and short article on Roman Polanski his life and films:

Photo Comparison of the Week, Halloween Photo of Sharon, More on Tony Curtis, and a New Poem for Sharon

Here is our Photo Comparison of the Week:

Perhaps I should call this one a comparison of hair photo:

Madonna's hair is very "Valley of the Dolls" here.

Here is a lovely photo of Sharon to start the Halloween season off with:

Here is a new article on Tony Curtis mentioning "Don't Make Waves" and Arthur Penn (who also passed away recently).  Sharon almost worked with Penn on "Bonnie and Clyde" but lost the part to Faye Dunaway in the end.:

I found this poem today that reminds me of Sharon and all her beautiful clothes, her body, and even her disguises (like the black wig and clothes she wore on "The Beverly Hillbillies" or when she was so properly dressed and disguised as Freya in "The Wrecking Crew" :

Dressed By Brian Patten

Dressed you are a different creature.

Dressed you are polite, are discreet and full of friendships,

Dressed you are almost serious.

You talk of the world and of all its disasters

As if they really moved you.

Dressed you hold on to illusions.

The wardrobes are full of disguises,

The dress to be unbuttoned only in darkness,

The dress that seems always about to fall from you,

The touch-me-not dress, the how-expensive dress,

The dress slung on without caring.

Dressed you are a different creature.

You are indignant of the eyes upon you,

The eyes that crawl over you.

That feed on the bits you’ve allowed

To be naked.

Dressed you are imprisoned in labels,

You are cocooned in fashions,

Dressed you are a different creature.

As easily as in the bedrooms

In the fields littered with rubble

The dresses fall from you,

In the spare room the party never reaches

The dresses fall from you.

Aided or unaided, clumsily or easily,

The dresses fall from you and then

From you falls all the cheap blossom.

Undressed you are a different creature.

Sharon Tate Tattoos? More Sharon Tate Art and Some Rare "Fearless Vampire Killers" Photos

I have found that many are having tattoos done now and Sharon is apparently one that is requested:

Here is some more groovy Sharon Tate Art for Our Sharon Tate Art Gallery...

Of course, I must include Kerstien...;)

This one reminds me of Sharon when she was trying out for "Bonnie and Clyde."

And since Halloween is coming up I thought I'd show some rare "Fearless Vampire Killer" Photos:
