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. Christmas card, signed “Love, Sharon xxxxx,” measuring 5.5 x 7 closed, with a color image of The Adoration of the Shepherds on the front cover. Inside bears a pre-printed sentiment, beneath which Tate writes, “I will be leaving for home the 24th of Dec. You know we are starting the movie over with Deborah Kerr. Thank God.” Scattered light creases, and scattered toning to inside of card and back cover, some lightly affecting a few words of note and signature, otherwise fine condition. Tate is referencing her 1966 film Eye of the Devil, starring David Niven and Deborah Kerr. Filmed in 1965, it marked Tate’s first major role in a film. She was cast by Filmways executive Martin Ransohoff, who hailed her as his great discovery. Tate is rare in any form, and any correspondence, particularly regarding her acting, are few and far between.
