Thanks to everyone for welcoming me back as well.  Hope everyone is doing well too!;)

More Art of Sharon, Movie Posters from her films and Polanski's "The Ghost" gets 'awards boost' from Film Comment

Here is some new art I have found on Sharon from Deviant Art, Flicker and just searching Google:

I like the colorization of the top photo.

Another cool one from 'FVK'.

I had to edit this one because, although it is very nice, it has something to do with the murders.  But the girl who did it was doing it for a criminal justice class, so I guess I see why she did it the way she did.  If you want to see the full version:

However, for the best Sharon art (in my biased opinion!) is always Kerstien's

Her link is here:

Here is a site that has some reproduction movie posters of Sharon's films:

Sharon Tate Tattoos? More Sharon Tate Art and Some Rare "Fearless Vampire Killers" Photos

I have found that many are having tattoos done now and Sharon is apparently one that is requested:

Here is some more groovy Sharon Tate Art for Our Sharon Tate Art Gallery...

Of course, I must include Kerstien...;)

This one reminds me of Sharon when she was trying out for "Bonnie and Clyde."

And since Halloween is coming up I thought I'd show some rare "Fearless Vampire Killer" Photos:

Sharon in the satirical magazine CARICATOUR #1, May, 1968, More Sharon in Art and a Sharon song sent to me by a fan

Found this interesting clipping from this site today:

But of course, she IS NEWSWORTHY!

Here is some more art I found on Sharon and art that reminds me of her:

From Deviant Art

I try to find as many different styles of art as I can.

And I cannot do Sharon art without adding Kerstien. :)  This is one of Sharon as a chess piece:

Amazing...right?  For more Sharon art please go to this link:

And here is a lovely but sad song dedicated to Sharon and her baby, Paul Richard Polanski sent to me by a fan, Sam Michael Nardone.  Thanks so much for sending this:

Paul Richard

Copyright © 1992 by Sam Michael Nardone.


Dedicated to Sharon Tate, and her unborn baby, Paul Richard.

Paul Richard,


with so much love,


your mother cared for you.


You were the apple of her eye...


an unborn little child...






Chorus:


And no one knows,


how your mother prayed for your life,


with pleading cries:


but it was denied.


And all her tears...


and unspoken fears...


couldn't give you one more day...


couldn't make the darkness go away...


Inside you felt all her pain:


like thunder, lightening and rain...


Thunder, lightening and rain...






Paul Richard,


for eight long months,


your mother rejoiced over you.


You were protected inside...


until that night...






Chorus:


And no one knows,


how your mother prayed for your life,


with pleading cries:


but it was denied.


And all her tears...


and unspoken fears...


couldn't give you one more day...


couldn't make the darkness go away...


Inside you felt all her pain:


like thunder, lightening and rain...


Thunder, lightening and rain...






Paul Richard,


joyous in heaven,


with your mother by your side...


No more pain inside...


no more tears and cries...


Just happiness in the light of sunshine...


the light of sunshine...






Chorus:


And no one knows,


how your mother prayed for your life,


with pleading cries:


but it was denied.


And all her tears...


and unspoken fears...


couldn't give you one more day...


couldn't make the darkness go away...


Inside you felt all her pain:


like thunder, lightening and rain...


Thunder, lightening and rain...






FADE:


O beautiful Sharon so long ago,


I look at your portrait,


while hearing your sweet echo...



Drew Barrymore Dolled Up As Sharon? Catherine Denueve Talks Roman Polanski and More

I think I was right in suspecting Drew Barrymore of copying Sharon's look lately.  In the new Harper's Bazaar she even came up with an idea to do a spread in a sort of "Sharon Tate and Veruschka" style.  Within the pages of the magazine,  you can definitely see the "Valley of the Dolls" inspiration:

Drew admits that the 60s is her favorite fashion era.

Here is the interview from the magazine with Barrymore:

Catherine Deneuve was interviewed recently and asked what it was like to work with Roman Polanski:

"It was one of the most important experiences I’ve had because I was quite young at the time when I did 'Repulsion.' And being a French actress working in London with him, who was a Polish director. We were very separated, you know, from the crew, we were very close and he’s really a director that loves to direct actors, I really listened to him very closely, I was very close to him, very close to him and very close to the film."

In the same interview, Denueve admitted that one of her own favorite actresses was Carole Lombard.  Lombard was also one of Sharon's favorites.
