Christmas 1965, at Jay Sebring’s home on Easton Drive. Sharon and Jay began dating in 1964 and she moved into his home shortly after. Their relationship would end by mid-1966.
Sharon was briefly back in Los Angeles in December 1965 for the Christmas holiday. She had spent the previous 5 months in Europe to work on the film, Eye Of The Devil. Production was running much longer than anticipated because Kim Novak was forced to leave the film due to a back injury she sustained while shooting a scene. At the time she left, production was nearly complete. However, there were still some important scenes involving her character which still needed to be shot.
MGM paused production in December so that the cast and crew could spend Christmas with their families. They would then start the entire film over in January, with Deborah Kerr replacing Kim Novak.
When Sharon flew to Los Angeles she was accompanied by Guinness, the Yorkshire terrier puppy which was given to her as a gift by David Niven and the crew of the film. In early-1966 when her work schedule became much more hectic and required frequent travel, she gave Guinness to her mother. In late-1966 after Sharon settled into a home in Santa Monica, Doris Tate gave her a Yorkshire puppy that had been fathered by Guinness.

“I thought she was a dream. Really, just wonderful. In fact, years later, that whole time spent with her and Roman sort of feels like a dream sequence from a movie—Sharon was always beautiful, and she was never fussy. She didn't care what angle I was shooting from, never demanded that I get this side or that side of her. Ingrid Bergman, when I photographed her around that same time, had a similar ease about her. She and Sharon had this incredible, natural beauty, and they didn't worry about the wind blowing their hair around or looking less than perfect. And that, of course, just made them that much more appealing"

LECTURE 19: COMING APART (PART 2): This is original CBS News footage from 1969 about the Tate–LaBianca murders (a.k.a., the Manson Family murders) that took place on August 8 – 10, 1969, in Los Angeles, California. This brief news segment focuses on the brutal slayings at the home of Sharon Tate and her husband director Roman Polanski (Polanski was away at the time) on August 9, 1969. In addition to Tate, members of the Manson Family cult murdered her friends Jay Sebring, Wojciech Frykowski, and Abigail Folger. They also murdered 18-year-old Steven Parent, who had been visiting the property's caretaker. The following night, August 10, Manson Family members murdered supermarket executive Leno LaBianca and his wife Rosemary, who co-owned a dress shop, in the Los Feliz section of Los Angeles. The ghastly nature of the crimes, along with ritualistic elements of the crime (such as the painting of the word “PIG” in blood on the front door of the Tate – Polanski house and “DEATH TO PIGS” on the wall at the LaBianca residence) sent shock waves through Los Angeles, across the United States, and around the world. The murders gave people the mistaken impression that hippies, the overwhelming majority of whom were peaceful people, were cold-blooded killers. Moreover, Manson and his crazed followers later revealed that they were inspired by songs on the White Album – namely, “Helter Skelter” and “Piggies” – to commit the crimes. This brought the White Album into close scrutiny, with a handful of unhinged reactionaries claiming the Beatles some responsibility for the crimes.
