Actress and wife of film director Roman Polanski; murdered by members of Manson’s "Family" on Aug. 9, 1969, when she was eight-and-a-half months pregnant.  The perpetrators of the violent crime went undetected until Susan Atkins, in prison for association with a car theft, bragged to another inmate that she carried out the murder of Sharon Tate.  Tate’s mother, Doris, went on to advocate for victims’ rights and played an instrumental role in the denial of parole for "Family" member Leslie Van Houten.
