Considered by many to be the most beautiful woman of her
generation, Sharon Tate remains a fascinating pop icon and a poster
child for the 1960s. What struck most about Sharon was her gentle
nature and the sheer perfection of her face, but she was far more
than just a beauty. The few films she made during her brief career,
including "Valley of the Dolls," "Eye of the Devil," and "The
Fearless Vampire Killers," have secured her position as a Hollywood
legend. Over forty years since her last film, Sharon's spirit and
charisma lives strong in the memories of those who knew her best,
and her style continues to inspire the worlds of fashion, beauty,
art, and film.
"Sharon Tate: Recollection" is a one-of-a-kind celebration of
Sharon's life and career, her influence as a fashion icon
throughout the world, and in effect presents a sociological
portrait of the 1960s--its youth culture, the sexual revolution,
the rise of independent cinema, and Hollywood's changing studio
system. In this impressive photo book, Sharon Tate's story emerges
through quotes and short essays--recollections--by her sister,
Debra Tate, as well as by those who knew and have been influenced
by her.
What emerges from these pages is a stunning tribute to an
unforgettable life.
Highlights include:
A foreword note by Sharon's husband Roman Polanski.
An introduction and remembrances by Sharon's sister Debra
Tate.
Previously unseen childhood photos from the Tate family
album.

book by Jane Fonda, Kelly Osbourne, Bert Stern, Michelle Phillips,
Patty Duke, Lee Grant, Elke Sommer, Joan Collins, Viva, Tony Scotti

Avedon, Dominick Dunne, Warren Beatty, Mia Farrow, Orson Welles,
