Tits and Ass comodity...lol..yet you have a point..Sharon in my opinion was much more talented than her early roles gave her credit....like in DMW where the first real shot of her is her b/side, or VOD where shes sweet but untalented...which gave ppl the impression that real life was mirroring her role-I think TWC and 12+1 showed glimpses of her talent!I assume she was freelance @ the time of her death tho as i thought she was lookin to be a HW aswell but read she had signed for Story of O?

You are right. Martin Ransohoff who was a big time producer then, bankrolled her career. he spent thousands. She wanted out because she wanted to be the house wife. Also it was just a matter of time before the tits and ass comodity would start running out. They gave her a career based on her looks.

I too have read this - tho it was William Tennant who I think was Roman's business manager who ID'd the bodies..to my knowledge Sharon didnt have an agent @ the time of her death (someone correct me on that if im wrong)she'd bought herself out of her filmways contract in 1968....

I remember this. I was 12 then. This was an horrific murder. Years later, I was told that Sharon's agent threw up when he had to identify the bodies

Wow, you can almost touch the 60s with this news videotape.I bet it was really August hot during this taping. This is really the only footage around immediately following the discovery of the bodies. I was a little boy when the murders happened so I didn't learn about the murders till Helter Skelter book came out in 74. I do remember Walter Cronkite talking about the Manson trial but didn't know the whole story.

this is the hypocracy of people demonstrated, he may be a great director who wins oscars but due to his sexual assault on a young girl polanski is a fugitive from u.s justice. manson on the other hand is a serial killing evil bastard.

This video in itself should not be seen by children never mind "swears" that's unavoidable in this day and age. Corruption and a loss of innocence too soon is.
