Here is what she says about Sharon:

Patty Duke

Capone (Interviewer) : I had read somewhere that your relationship with Sharon Tate on the film, that she was really the first person to teach you about wearing makeup and doing your hair.

PD: Oh God! First of all she was as much an angel on the inside as she was on the outside, and people like to think of beautiful people like that, especially blondes, as if they are airheads. There was nothing airhead about this lady. At any rate, we had fun. She taught me how to make up my eyes. She wore this pencil thing over her lid and she perfected it and she taught it to me. Unfortunately I didn’t have her lids.

Capone: I think people don’t give her enough credit as an actor either, because her talent was often kind of lost behind this pretty face.

PD: Exactly, yeah. You are so stunned by that kind of beauty, that you often don’t look past it, and I actually thought of all of us, she did the best acting job in the movie, because she never went over the top. She couldn’t have, because I was taking up all of that space.

Jerry Schatzberg talks about Roman and Sharon

I did my usual searching tonight and found an interesting short interview where photographer and filmmaker, Jerry Schatzberg talked about Roman and Sharon:

"There was a sad side to the sixties," Schatzberg says. "We lost some great people like Jimi Hendrix, Brian Jones and Sharon Tate.

"Sharon was such a sweet girl. Roman was in London when Sharon was murdered. Honestly, I don't know how he kept from losing his mind after her murder."

"I took a photos of Roman in 1963 outside my studio and I took photos of Sharon in 1967 in the bathroom."

"Roman and I--were and still are--close friends."

I found this on a Norwegian website and had it translated. I include the photos he discussed here. Along with one of him then and now.
