Picture of Sharon Tate

“In the years I’ve been studying I’ve had the opportunity to observe girls who try to make it here without training, by dating Mr. So-and-So, and who end up lost. I’ve seen what happens to starlets—a word I hate—who all look alike and have no individuality to offer…A pretty face really isn’t all that important. It will open doors and that’s it. You have to have the talent to back up what you have going in front.”
—Sharon Tate to Kevin Thomas for the January 18th, 1966 issue of The Los Angeles Times
