Sharon Tate Autopsy Photos Baby Upgrade Your BrowserPlease upgrade your browser and improve your visit to our site.STF AFPGetty Sharon Tate was murdered in the early hours of August 9, 1969.She was 26. Her funeral was held four days later, and by then the papers were speculating about the ritualistic Manson family murders at 10050 Cielo Drive and the sex-drug cult that might have committed them.Reports of the autopsy noted that her unborn childshe had been eight months pregnanthad been perfectly formed, partly to stave off any speculation stemming from her husbands film Rosemarys Baby. As her mother bent to kiss the closed casket, I heard her say as plain as if she was standing beside me. Thats what saved my sanity and thats what gave me strength, because I do believe in life after death. It feels cruel and unjust that a person could be reduced to a detail in the lurid story of their killers. Any personTate died along with her friends Jay Sebring, Abigail Folger, and Wojtek Frykowski, as well as 18-year-old Steven Parent, who had been visiting the property.) But Tate left little more to the public than her image, and her impressions on famous friends; shed been featured in only six films. Meanwhile, her death has been packed with symbolism: the demise of the 60s, the loss of innocence, the suffering of women. In his new biography, Sharon Tate: A Life, the poet, archivist, and musician Ed Sanders notes that while there may be thousands of photos of her Sharon Tate apparently did not keep a written and annotated trail of her life. Without detailed diaries to draw from, or detailed recollections from many of her intimates, he has sequenced her history, comparing various sources, as a tapestry of America during the twenty-six years she was given. In other words, he worked with what he had: arranging her in negative, stacking details around the short path of her life. Since the 1970s, Sanders has amassed scores of Manson archival matter, which he keeps in a barn on his property in Woodstock, NY. The book is a set of coordinates, some crucial, others of mysterious relevance, arranged as flatly as documents on a harvest table: A paragraph on Tates pregnancy segues into several on husband Roman Polanskis film trajectory; a note on Tates marketability after Valley of the Dolls becomes a 14-page diatribe on the Robert F. The book refuses to sensationalize Tates death, and avoids scavenging her memory for symbolism. But it tells us more about Sanderss preoccupations than hers, and makes sense by his logic, which is compelling elsewhere. Sanders wrote Sharon Tate mainly because of the mystery that still surrounds the close of her life, but it raises more questions than it answers: The murders might have been Mansons attempt to spark a race war, or it might have been a contract killing, Sharon Tate having heard too much about something, possibly the R.F.K. Rumors abound, of satanist cult orgies, about the rape and torture of a drug dealer at Mama Casss house. And the matter of why Tate was murdered seems less interesting than the question of who she was. Raised in Blue Springs, Missouri, Sanders bought and memorized Howl while in high school. I used to shout it out to my beer-drinking buddies as we drove around the Independence courthouse square drinking Griesedick Brothers beer, he told Steve Paul in an interview. In the summer of 1958, he hitchhiked to New York City, where he studied Greek and Latin, published Fuck YouA Magazine of the Arts, opened the Peace Eye Bookstore in the East Village, and formed beloved rock band The Fugs. In early 1970, struck by the horror and intrigue surrounding the Tate-LaBianca murders, which had rippled into his social circle, he began a frenzy of continuous day and night activitya deep, perilous investigation that resulted in The Family, the first complete, authoritative account of the career of Charles Manson, as Robert Christgau wrote in The New York Times Book Review. The Family is flamboyantly matter-of-fact, jammed with details relevant to an investigation but not a narrativea report written in Sanders Americanese, as Christgau called it. Terms like sleazo inputs are dropped casually, weird reveals are punctuated with oo-ee-oo, haughty language is alloyed with hippie (during the gobble the girl went nuts and, all in one incision, bit in twain Mansons virility). Some reviewers scorned this approachthe onslaught of unprocessed detail, the conspicuous voice, and the lack of psychological insight into Manson himself. There is no theorizing, and no new journalism eitherno fabricated immediacy, no reconstructed dialogue, no arty pace he represents a sensibility that has pretty much rejected such devices and his book is truer and more exciting for it.
