^Lot 1104 Sharon Tate

Promising American actress (born 1943) and wife of director Roman Polanski who was propelled into infamy when she was murdered by the Manson Family at the age of 26, in the notorious killing spree that shook the nation in the summer of 1969. Marvelous vintage glossy 9.5 x 7 photo of Tate and Barbara Parkins in Valley of the Dolls, signed and inscribed in blue ink, “For Pierre, Warmest Wishes, Sharon Tate” and “To Peter, Barbara Parkins.” In fine condition, with some light surface creasing, impressions, and a bit of irregular ink adhesion to Tate’s signature. Any signed images from Tate are highly desirable, and this one serves as a particularly fantastic example, featuring both the tragic actress and Parkins.
