About this episode

This episode explores Sharon Tate's connections to Charles Manson and Roman Polanski, revealing a complex narrative surrounding the Manson family murders.

Sharon Tate’s entanglement with Charles Manson and her husband, filmmaker Roman Polanski, as well as her involvement in some of the long-rumored hedonistic events at her home on Cielo Drive put her at the center of a counter-narrative that explosively disrupts the supposed motive for the Manson family murders. Was Sharon Tate blissfully ignorant of the darkness that had been bubbling beneath Hollywood’s shiny veneer for years? Or is there more to this story than we’ve been told in the past?   This episode contains themes that may be disturbing to some listeners, including sexual assault.   See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
