More Art of Sharon, Movie Posters from her films and Polanski's "The Ghost" gets 'awards boost' from Film Comment

Here is some new art I have found on Sharon from Deviant Art, Flicker and just searching Google:

I like the colorization of the top photo.

Another cool one from 'FVK'.

I had to edit this one because, although it is very nice, it has something to do with the murders.  But the girl who did it was doing it for a criminal justice class, so I guess I see why she did it the way she did.  If you want to see the full version:

However, for the best Sharon art (in my biased opinion!) is always Kerstien's

Her link is here:

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:

Sharon in the satirical magazine CARICATOUR #1, May, 1968, More Sharon in Art and a Sharon song sent to me by a fan

But of course, she IS NEWSWORTHY!

Here is some more art I found on Sharon and art that reminds me of her:

From Deviant Art

I try to find as many different styles of art as I can.

And I cannot do Sharon art without adding Kerstien. :)  This is one of Sharon as a chess piece:

Amazing...right?  For more Sharon art please go to this link:

And here is a lovely but sad song dedicated to Sharon and her baby, Paul Richard Polanski sent to me by a fan, Sam Michael Nardone.  Thanks so much for sending this:

Paul Richard

Copyright © 1992 by Sam Michael Nardone.


Dedicated to Sharon Tate, and her unborn baby, Paul Richard.

Paul Richard,


with so much love,


your mother cared for you.


You were the apple of her eye...


an unborn little child...






Chorus:


And no one knows,


how your mother prayed for your life,


with pleading cries:


but it was denied.


And all her tears...


and unspoken fears...


couldn't give you one more day...


couldn't make the darkness go away...


Inside you felt all her pain:


like thunder, lightening and rain...


Thunder, lightening and rain...






Paul Richard,


for eight long months,


your mother rejoiced over you.


You were protected inside...


until that night...






Chorus:


And no one knows,


how your mother prayed for your life,


with pleading cries:


but it was denied.


And all her tears...


and unspoken fears...


couldn't give you one more day...


couldn't make the darkness go away...


Inside you felt all her pain:


like thunder, lightening and rain...


Thunder, lightening and rain...






Paul Richard,


joyous in heaven,


with your mother by your side...


No more pain inside...


no more tears and cries...


Just happiness in the light of sunshine...


the light of sunshine...






Chorus:


And no one knows,


how your mother prayed for your life,


with pleading cries:


but it was denied.


And all her tears...


and unspoken fears...


couldn't give you one more day...


couldn't make the darkness go away...


Inside you felt all her pain:


like thunder, lightening and rain...


Thunder, lightening and rain...






FADE:


O beautiful Sharon so long ago,


I look at your portrait,


while hearing your sweet echo...



Drew Barrymore Dolled Up As Sharon? Catherine Denueve Talks Roman Polanski and More

I think I was right in suspecting Drew Barrymore of copying Sharon's look lately.  In the new Harper's Bazaar she even came up with an idea to do a spread in a sort of "Sharon Tate and Veruschka" style.  Within the pages of the magazine,  you can definitely see the "Valley of the Dolls" inspiration:

Drew admits that the 60s is her favorite fashion era.

Here is the interview from the magazine with Barrymore:

http://kool.radio.com/2010/09/15/cats-pajamas/

Catherine Deneuve was interviewed recently and asked what it was like to work with Roman Polanski:

"It was one of the most important experiences I’ve had because I was quite young at the time when I did 'Repulsion.' And being a French actress working in London with him, who was a Polish director. We were very separated, you know, from the crew, we were very close and he’s really a director that loves to direct actors, I really listened to him very closely, I was very close to him, very close to him and very close to the film."

In the same interview, Denueve admitted that one of her own favorite actresses was Carole Lombard.  Lombard was also one of Sharon's favorites. 

For more of Denueve's interview go here:

Here are two more art pieces I found on Sharon:

Sharon Tate Compared to Jean Harlow, Kerstien Matondang and New Video, Rare Sharon Photo, Sharon's Style and More on Polanski

I haven't done one of these for awhile so I thought I'd do another comparison article on Sharon and Jean Harlow:

Jean was born at 5: 40 pm-CST time while Sharon was born at 5:47 pm-CST time (close), but on a different date.

Both were part of the studio system and were designed to show off their sex appeal even though they really could act and do more if the role called for it. 

Both were very close to their mothers who were in turn, very protective of their children.  Their mothers were never the same after their children's deaths.  In addition, both had their mother's laid to rest with them.


Both had kind natures and would give you the shirt off their backs if you needed it.


Both were generous to fans, happily signing autographs and answering fan mail--sending autographs.


Both worked for MGM and 20th Century Fox studios.


Harlow dated Max Baer, Sr while Sharon dated Max Baer, Jr though the second couple were actually more like good friends.

Other sex symbols/blonde bombshells have followed (including Sharon and Marilyn Monroe), but it is Jean Harlow who all others are measured against.


Both adored animals and had dogs.

Both were beautiful and married older men.


Both have been mentioned in song, for instance, Harlow was mentioned in Madonna's 'Vogue' song and Sharon was mentioned in The Aluminum Group song "Miss Tate."  Others have mentioned them in their music as well.


Both starred in bit parts in movies eventually leading to larger roles.


Harlow's first film, "Hell's Angels" was shot twice. Once with another actress as a silent film, then with Harlow as a talkie film.  Sharon had a similiar incident with her first major film when, Kim Novak backed out of filming "Eye of the Devil" and it had to be shot twice, the second time with Deborah Kerr in Novak's role.


Both displayed a talent for comedic performances and had a great sense of humor off camera as well.


Both were continuously on the ascendant in their careers, parts were starting to get better and show more range.


Neither wore underwear; Jean never did and Sharon stopped because she said Polanski didn't want the mark lines to appear on her beautiful body.  In addition, both were photographed in the nude.


Both smoked, Harlow's brand was Fatima while Sharon preferred Tareyton.

Both also appeared in fashion magazines and were cover girls on many of them.

Both lived at a time at the Chateau Marmont, the famous Los Angeles Hotel.  And both lived on Easton Drive in Benedict Canyon: this is where Harlow's husband Paul Bern committed suicide and years later, Jay Sebring bought the house and supposedly Sharon had a premonition there according to this video:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Ow3uOnkwcg

Both died tragically at the age of 26 and were buried in California. 

At the time of their deaths, everyone commented on how loved they were by so many and that neither had any enemies.

Do you have any to add?  Feel free to comment.

For Friday, April 2, 2010: Photo of the Week and Kerstien Matondang 's Great New Coppertone Tan Ad Featuring Sharon Tate,

Here is the photo of the week:

Kerstien has done it again with another great video of Sharon advertising Coppertone and "Don't Make Waves" here:

Please go to Kerstien's great website for more terrific art! :

More of the Sharon Tate Art Gallery, Sharon in "Don't Make Waves" and a clip from Polanski's "The Ghost Writer."

First of all, I apologize for making this short tonight but I have come down with an awful head and sinus cold. 

I found this art was reminiscent of Sharon from Deviant Art and iStockphoto:

Doesn't the above photo look like that one photo that was suppose to be Sharon but actually turned out to be some other actress?  I can't remember where I saw it but if you know email it to me and I'll put it here to show everyone.

And of course, I never can do "The Sharon Tate Art Gallery" segments without including the great Kerstien Matondang: 

From her website: http://www.kerstien.se/sharoninart.htm

 

Here is a review that focuses mainly on Sharon's performance in "Don't Make Waves."  A very interesting read:
