“She was almost supposed to represent normalcy in the film. She doesn’t have any plot to do, we’re just watching her live her life because that’s what was robbed from her, was living her life. And the fact that she’s a person consigned to history for the most part defined completely and utterly by her tragic death, and in these last four weeks people have watched Margot play this person, and they saw that she was more than that. And that she was a lovely person and they get a sense of her spirit and they get a sense of her life, and you actually watch her doing things that people do in a life, running errands, driving the car, just life stuff. And you even got to see the real Sharon juxtaposed into that. And now I actually think people will think about her differently than they thought before. It’s not the beginning and end-all of Sharon, there’s still more to learn about her and everything, but as far as saving her from her tombstone, the movie has kind of done that, to a small degree but to a significant degree.” -Quentin Tarantino.

"Even caught off-guard, Sharon was a study of elegance and poise." — David Bailey.

Is it normal to read about Suki Waterhouse in Vogue, then feel extremely jealous but also sad that you might never get as beautiful of a life as her, and I know “don’t compare your life to celebrities’, it’s not always as you see it” but I don’t really care. All I want is a pretty house with a beautiful garden, a baby and to not have to work at an awful minimum wage job forever. I then decided that I want to be a film director, oh no, two minutes later I change my mind, now I would like to model, oh no I’m not pretty or confident enough. Maybe a singer, but I can’t sing. An actress? Anxiety and talentlessness. A writer perhaps, I dislike writing most things…

If only I was a nepotism baby. I would be so happy. I would make beautiful films like Quentin Tarantino’s and Sofia Coppola’s. I’d make a movie about Cass Elliot or the Mamas and the Papas or finally create the Sharon Tate biopic she deserves. I’d buy a gorgeous old house with a garden filled with hydrangeas and roses. It would look much like Cass Elliot’s garden with the views from Sharon Tate’s love house, 10050 Cielo drive with the white fence of Sharon’s rented Summitridge drive home.

I would have a baby and care for it without worry of having to work; However, I’d still be independent and not rely on anyone else for money. I’d do work that doesn’t feel like work, something I love doing. I’d homeschool my child and give them the best opportunities and experiences in life. I’d travel but only to place I want to. I’d have an iced coffee every day. It would come with me on my daily walks with my baby and my husband too (if needed.) We would listen to the Mamas and the Papas and I would have many friends who love and understand me.

I will have met Michelle Phillips at this time, that’s probably my biggest wish of all, that we could meet and she would like me. I fear that if I do ever get the chance, I will either embarrass myself, not emphasise how much of a fan I am (without scaring her,) or she just won’t like me and I’ll annoy her.

My life would not be absolute perfection but it would still be beautiful. I can’t bear the thought of having to live in dirty, grey, English suburbia. I think I’d rather off myself.

I pray that it will all work out, I pray that it will be beautiful if nothing else. I pray for my baby. I pray for my home. I pray for warmth and comfort. I pray for life worth living

“All the leaves are brown

And the sky is grey

I’ve been for a walk

On a winters day

I’d be safe and warm

If I was in LA

California Dreamin

On such a winters day”

I truly am California Dreamin’

“She is the new Venus and she is trapped in a Dream Factory. She is the Princess of the World — yet it is a world she never made. She is shimmering blonde over high-cheekboned pale skin. She is a cascade of hair. She is lakewater hazel eyes. That thing of innocence. She is Sharon Tate, a name to remember, a talent to be reckoned with, a goddess who's got everything.” — Johnny Columbus, ‘Sharon Tate — “Venus on a Treadmill”’, Photo Screen magazine, June 1968.

"Ah, Sharon, it’s very hard to talk about her without getting a bit weepy. The word exquisite perfectly sums up this lady. Almost other-worldly, so beautiful and sensitive. But in no way wishy washy, she was smart and not taken in by the shallowness of the industry. Well grounded and natural, very much in tune with her life and very happy when I last saw her in London in 1969. A hideous tragedy her being killed and the grotesque speculation of the press. She was such an innocent and unspoilt by her success. I couldn’t recognize any of the Sharon I knew in the newspaper reports. An enormous loss. Too, too sad." — George Harrison

The dress she is wearing in these two photos is presumably the same genie mini-dress she wore during the promotional photoshoot for her film in “The Wrecking Crew”

“I think it is a mistake for a girl to work at having sex appeal or to pay too much attention to popularity. Making friends is something that should develop naturally as you develop. At school I was a lone wolf, and I feel I enlarged my horizons by not being preoccupied with being part of the pack. I have always tried not to be a rubber stamp of my environment. The best advice I can offer is to listen and watch. In this way, you learn to know who you are and what you want.” — Sharon Tate, taken from Lydia Lane’s article ‘Sharon Discusses Clothes’, 20 October 1967.
