Photo Comparison of the Week and Others Who Look Like Sharon...

Here is our photo comparison of the week:

I know we have discussed before how it would be interesting if Keira Knightly played Sharon in a movie and I found this stunning photo of her with ash blonde hair reminiscent of Sharon:

Speaking of others who look like Sharon, in the news a Julianne Moore series of ads that also brings Sharon to mind has been banned in Venice, Italy.  I wonder what Sharon would think of this?

And a Sharon and Roman fan recently told me about a model named Snejana Onopka who, they tell me looks like a combination of Sharon Tate, Nastassja Kinski and Emmanuelle Seigner.  (I would also add that she also resembles "What?" Polanski star Sydne Rome.)  She was wondering if Roman Polanski had ever seen her and how interesting it would be if Polanski cast her in one of his future projects?

What do you think?

Hope you are all enjoying your holiday weekend!

Here is the photo of the week that went for big bucks on ebay recently:

And more new rare screen capture photos from ebay of Sharon as Janet Trego on "The Beverly Hillbillies":

Here is a film that is said to be reminiscent of Polanski's work.  It's called "Black Swan" and stars Natalie Portman.  Look at the second and third review here to see the connection:

Sharon in the News for September 1st: Don't believe rumor that new novel is based on, Hollywood's Egyptian Theatre Shows "Valley of the Dolls" today, and Walter Chappell's son Robin shows off some rare never-before-seen photos of Sharon

I am trying continuously to get back to blogging daily for Sharon's memory.  Sorry for all the delays.  I will try to get caught up on everything as soon as I can but it may take awhile.  I will update some of the past blog entries with news from the months of April thru August soon.  So all will be updated shortly.

A recent photo of Sharon sold on Ebay.

For today...

Here is the news I found for Sharon:

There is a new novel called 'Sick City' that even showcases a photo of Sharon on front.  Unfortunately it is based on one of the worst rumors ever printed about Sharon and some of her friends.  It has a character who comes across a famous video tape of Sharon having an orgy with Steve McQueen, Mama Cass, and Yul Brynner.  There are other rumored tapes of Sharon but none truly exist.  Writer Dominick Dunne asked Vicent Buglosi if these tapes really existed and he said no.  And there was a collector of Sharon memorabilia in the 1970s who was offered a tape of Sharon supposedly with two men but on close inspection, the collector comfirmed it was someone who looked a bit like Sharon but was definitely NOT Sharon.  He said that someone from the LAPD had sworn it was her and tried to sell it for a lot of money.  None of the rumors of these tapes have ever been able to be confirmed by anyone.  They are just part of the horrible rumors and false stories that were told about the victims after their sad deaths.  Such a shame anyone would ever do this. 

The only tape that does exist is one of Sharon and Roman and Polanski confirms it in his biography.  There were some other tapes found but none like what the media and rumor mill would have you think.  Also, there is a tape of a girl swimming in the nude in the backyard pool.  Some think that this is Abigail Folger and that Frykowski shot it.  However, none of the actual tapes sound that bad.

Anyway, if you are still interested in the book, here is a recent review with a photo of the cover:

And Robin Chappell sent me a link to a new website showing some of his father, Walter Chappell's rare photos of Sharon.  Some great stuff here:

41 Years Ago Today We Lost Sharon, Her Baby and her friends...

Hello everyone,

I am going to try to be back now.  Sorry for being gone so long.  Thanks for everyone's patience.

For my first post back I would just like to say please say a prayer and light a candle for the victims of August 9, 1969: Sharon Tate, her baby, Paul Polanski, Jay Sebring, Abigail Folger, Voytek Frykowski, and Steven Parent.
