Sharon Tate was called a star before her first movie even came out. From the start, Tate was singled out by her sheer potential. She was destined for big, bright things.

What to Know About Sharon Tate, Pregnant Actress Killed by Charles Manson's Followers 50 Years Ago

Sharon Tate was 26 in 1969 and about to begin a new chapter of her life: The successful actress was married to director Roman Polanski and was eight-and-a-half months pregnant with their first child.

But that was all cut short when Tate was killed — along with Jay Sebring, Abigail Folger, Wojciech Frykowski and Steven Parent — in a horrific stabbing at her Los Angeles-area home by followers of cult leader Charles Manson.

The murders occurred on August 9, 1969 — 50 years ago today.

Manson, whose name became synonymous with evil after his arrest in connection with the 1969 murders of Tate and the others, died in 2017. He was 83 and serving a life sentence in California’s Corcoran State Prison at the time of his death.
