Back on the big screen: Remembering Sharon Tate 50 years after her murder

Fifty years after Sharon Tate’s murder, four movies are set for release about her life – and death, writes Suzanne Harrington.

In 1969, on August 9 and 10, the love and peace of the Sixties was abruptly ended by the splattering of blood on the walls of two wealthy but unconnected addresses in Los Angeles. Sharon Tate, a young Hollywood actress, became the famous face of what would soon be known as the infamous Manson Murders. Six other people were also randomly stabbed and shot to death.
