Holy Helter Skelter. This shot isn't disturbing at all - being the young actress who was married to Roman Polanski would soon be brutally murdered by members of The Manson Family. Tate met Polanski when he directed and co-star in 1967's The Fearless Vampire Killers - which she also appeared in.

One of Tate's early roles was on the 1964 "Giant Jackrabbit" episode of The Beverly Hillbillies, where she wore a dark wig and played the character, Janet Trego.

On August 9, 1969, Tate and four others were murdered by members of the Manson Family in the home she shared with Polanski. At the time of her death, she was eight-and-a-half months pregnant with the couple's son.
