Sharon Tate: A Life

With Ed Sanders, an American Book Award winner and the author of “The Family,” “Fug You,” “Tales of Beatnik Glory,” and numerous volumes of poetry.

This illustrated lecture takes a close look at Tate’s life—from her itinerant childhood and early career in fashion to her transition to film, passionate marriage to the brilliant and troubled Roman Polanski, and violent murder at the hands of the Manson family cult. It offers new insights into what happened on the night of her death and explores new motives for the targeting of the Polanski household.
