(via facebook.com) How much more can one person’s memory endure? A few months ago I discussed the long term exploitation and overexposure of Marilyn Monroe’s image for easy publicity. There are only a few other iconic, deceased women to experience the same attention, and one of them is Sharon Tate. If it’s not Marilyn, Princess Di, Selena or Aaliyah; it’s Sharon and her unborn child pop culture and true crime aficionados are continuingly dissecting the tragic end of. And unlike Marilyn and Diana Spencer, Sharon’s fame was an even shorter amount of time [just six years from 1963 to 1969]. So many questions can be asked regarding how Sharon’s life and career would have turned out if she had lived beyond age 26. Would she have become A-list? Would she have stayed married to Oscar winning filmmaker and infamous fugitive Roman Polanski? [No, in my opinion.] Did Goldie Hawn have the career Sharon was originally predicted to have? I wish Sharon could have lived long enough for us to get the answers to these ponderings.
