Actress Sharon Tate was born on January 24, 1943, in Dallas. She had several key roles that led to her success on the small screen, particularly in the television series The Beverly Hillbillies.
Her work in the film Eye of the Devil in 1965 was significant in Tate’s life for two reasons: It was her first major role in a feature film, and it was shortly after making it that she met movie director Roman Polanski, who would eventually become her husband. On August 9, 1969, while eight and a half months pregnant with Polanski’s child, Tate was murdered by a group run by Charles Manson.
