1 Sharon Tate

Most of us remember Sharon Tate as one of the victims of the tragic Mason Family murders. She, along with four others, was found murdered in the home she shared with her husband, director Roman Polansky, on August 9, 1969. Tate was also eight months pregnant at the time of the attack.

But the above snapshot also helps us remember her talent and beauty. Tate is pictured on the set of Valley of the Dolls where she portrayed Jennifer North and for which she got a Golden Globe Award nomination.

Her character Jennifer was a girl in show business that sadly gets addicted to pills. The movie is based on a novel that went on to become the best selling sensation in the year 1966, written by Jacqueline Susann.
