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. ALS signed “Sharon,” one page, 8.25 x 10.5, Chateau de Castel-Novel letterhead, September 23, 1965. Letter to her grandmother. In part: “I had a few clippings from various papers in London and I thought you may like to have them—since there [sic] my first. The pictures are bad but there [sic] special—since I waited so long for this to happen. I must say all of this is very exciting but to my surprise very dull. The only thing I can think about is, how soon can I go home to my little things & Jay…We’re on location in France now and will go back to London in two weeks and then home in a month & a half—I hope.” Accompanied by the original mailing envelope, addressed in Tate’s hand, with her full signature, “Sharon Tate” in the return address area on the reverse. In very good condition, with scattered toning and soiling, and some show-through from mounting remnants to the reverse. Tate wrote this while filming her first feature, Eye of the Devil. An exceedingly scarce letter with great content from the start of her career—just the third ALS from the blonde starlet that we have ever offered.
