Sharon Tate's sister Debra has handed in a petition with 139,000 signatures on it to California governor Jerry Brown, appealing to him to intervene in the parole release of a Charles Manson follower.
The actress was murdered by Manson's gang at the age of 26 in August 1969.
Tate, who was eight months pregnant by film director husband Roman Polanski, was one of seven people killed in two separate massacres.

Sharon Tate was not in the Beverly Hillbillies.
Leslie Van Houten.
It’s MUCH easier to do what Ms. Tate is doing than it is to endure life with those killers on the streets.
As long as any of them are alive, the ordeal continues for Ms. Tate and any other living relatives/friends.
All of those killers should have received death penalties, but apparently Cali hasn’t the stomach for justice. If each Cali resident got to have a taste of what the Tates went through, I’d venture to say that a good many of them would change their minds in a NY minute.
I applaud and sympathize with Ms. Tate’s efforts. Someone should have thrown away the cell keys of each of the Manson monkeys.
And the one who wants out...she’s lying. She is the same person now as she was when she went in...just older. Only now, the world has changed so much, she couldn’t cope with it and she’d end up back in the joint anyway. Just keep her there.
Teens ARE children. You don’t consider a 13 year old a child???
I think she would go back to being on the fringes of life and society and end up under the thrall of a new master.
If Manson was an illegal from El Salvador he would have been out in 2 weeks.
Jerry Brown has released 40,000 criminals so far. One more will not matter to him.
They did...

This is one of the most terrifying murders ever committed in my lifetime. I was pretty young when it happened, but it was so horrifying to everybody, you were compelled to follow it as it evolved, until the Manson gang was caught and sent to prison. You can never forget it.
“Had Van Houten been involved in a murder that was not notorious and not of a person that notable, she would have been paroled years ago.”
Maybe. But she also might have gotten life without parole (especially post-’70s). And Karla Faye Tucker was executed.
ALL received death, but the Rose Bird Court overturned CA’s death penalty.
I haven’t read this particular story yet but did just see on TV that Jerry Brown didn’t meet with Tate’s family and they were told he was “unavailable,” apparently meaning “unavailable” to meet THEM.
Democrats need to be held accountable for the parole board’s decision and the governor even apparently considering releasing one of the murderers.
Leslie Van Houten - parole board recommended her.
“Sharon Tate (at right wearing a dark wig) as Janet Trego in the 1964 “Giant Jackrabbit” episode of The Beverly Hillbillies with Max Baer, Jr. and Nancy Kulp”
Ah, but you know that that was not the inference, don’t you? ;-)
“And the one who wants out...she’s lying. She is the same person now as she was when she went in...just older. Only now, the world has changed so much, she couldn’t cope with it and she’d end up back in the joint anyway.”
What a contrast in times. In ‘69 there were maybe 1/2 dozen channels available on TV. News came on twice or three times a day.

Lawyers and prescription drugs didn’t advertise.
A McDonalds burger cost .20
A six pack of beer was $1.
Coffee was just coffee.
Shopping malls were all the rage.
Sears was the biggest retailer on the planet.
The Soviet Union was our enemy.
Mexico was a fun place.

You could show up 10 min. before the plane took-off, buy a ticket with cash and board it.
