Didn’t Polanski dedicate this movie to Sharon Tate’s memory? (BTW, watch a few reruns of “Beverly Hillbillies” to see her play Mr. Drysdale’s secretary).
haha
Apparently you’re right. Had to look it up. Also didn’t know Sharon Tate played Drysdale’s secretary.
“Roman Polanski gave away all of his possessions after the murders, unable to bear any reminders of the period that he called “the happiest I ever was in my life”. He remained in Los Angeles until the killers were arrested and then traveled to Europe. His 1979 film Tess was dedicated “to Sharon”, as Tate had read Thomas Hardy’s Tess of the d’Urbervilles during her final stay with Polanski in London and had left it for him to read with the comment that it would be a good story for them to film together.”

Sorry I thought you were referring to the Miss Hathaway character.
