Meer over het boek

Considered one of the most beautiful women of her time, Sharon Tate remains a captivating pop icon and emblem of the 1960s. Her gentle nature and striking features were complemented by her talent, as seen in films like Valley of the Dolls, Eye of the Devil, and The Fearless Vampire Killers, solidifying her status as a Hollywood legend. Over forty years after her last film, her spirit and charisma continue to resonate, influencing fashion, beauty, art, and film. This unique photo book celebrates Sharon's life and career, exploring her impact as a fashion icon while providing a sociological portrait of the 1960s—its youth culture, sexual revolution, independent cinema, and Hollywood's evolving studio system. Sharon's story unfolds through quotes and essays by her sister, Debra Tate, and others who knew her. Highlights include a foreword by her husband, Roman Polanski, remembrances by Debra Tate, previously unseen childhood photos, and original essays by notable figures like Jane Fonda and Kelly Osbourne. The book also features retrospective quotes from cultural icons and rare photographs by renowned photographers, including never-before-seen images from Valley of the Dolls, digitally reproduced from original negatives by the 20th Century Fox archive. This collection serves as a stunning tribute to an unforgettable life.
