Style Icon: Sharon Tate

It's hard to wrap our heads around the fact that someone this beautiful could even exist.  Even harder to fathom is how this promising young actress and model could have met such a brutal and untimely end at the hands of a mass-murdering cult. Sharon Tate's story is as heartbreaking as she was beautiful. The Texan-born stunners' career was just taking off at the time of her death, with a golden-globe nomination for her role in Valley of The Dolls and several still to be released film projects under her belt.  She was also a newlywed and expectant mother, making her loss that much more tragic.

A true icon of 1960s style, Tate's memory lives on through her timeless beauty.
