“She actually touched me in a way that convinced me that she was Sharon. She did such a damn good job that, for me, personally, the visit was a little short. I had Sharon back in front of me again, and it was too short a visit."

—Debra Tate on Margot Robbie's portrayal of Sharon Tate in 'Once Upon a Time in Hollywood'.

After her daughter’s murder in 1969, Doris Tate fell into a severe depression. Sharon’s younger sister, Debra, would state that “the lights were on, but nobody was home. She would have moments of lucidity, but most of the time she was sedated.” She remained withdrawn from public life and found it impossible to speak to anyone about her daughter’s death.

The murders caused the Tate family the worst distress imaginable, but also introduced Doris to the world of activism. Just over a decade after Sharon’s death, the Tate’s learned that one killer could possibly be granted parole. This impassioned Doris, who worked tirelessly to make sure there was noise against this proposal, receiving over 350,000 signatures in a petition to keep them imprisoned.

After a successful battle, she continued her work by founding the Coalition on Victims’ Equal Rights and also becoming a key member of the ‘Parents of Murdered Children’ organisation, in which she was able to assume the role of councillor for other families struggling to cope with their losses. In 1992, just before her death at age 68, president George H. W. Bush honoured Doris Tate as being one of the country’s “thousand points of light”. Her legacy continued through her daughter Patti and now Debra, who still fights to keep those who killed Sharon Tate and so many others in prison.

“You can’t make sense out of the innocent slaughter of Sharon and the other victims... The most that I, or any person touched by violence, can hope for is acceptance of the pain. You never forget it, not even with the passage of time. But, if, in my work, I can help transform Sharon’s legacy from murder victim to a symbol for victims’ rights, I will have accomplished what I set out to do.” — Doris Tate.

“She (Margot) asked very specific questions trying to get gestures. We did walking, talking, laughing...I instantly liked Margot...Now it’s not Sharon’s face, but no face will ever be Sharon’s face. So you’ve got to capture her spirit, her essence, and Margot did it. She did it. She nailed it, and I don’t think you can act that either. I think the reason she did it is because she has it. She’s authentic.”—Debra Tate
