Just FYI, an update on Kate Bosworth/Michael Polish's adaptation of my book:...

Maybe Watson said that because, oh, I don't know, he's a freaking amoral, psychotic, sociopath murderer?

No facial wounds. There was bruising along one cheek, but her face was otherwise unmarred.

An interesting if circular bit of trivia: in 1955, actress Ruth Roman went off to Italy to work on a film. While away, she learned that he second husband Mortimer Hall was apparently having an...

My copy is on it's way - I can't wait to read this mess and see what it says and how it says it, as the author seems to have an iffy rep with being cautious - but no denying that he had a special...

Wasn't that strange once wife-to-be intending to somehow embalm him after death a la Lenin and put his body on display? Of course that plan fell through - and who in their right mind would want to...

Alive or dead, the raw pain is still there, but maybe some measure of justice in knowing he died in prison.

Whereas I most remember her as the screaming virgin sacrifice in Torture Chamber of Dr. Sadism! Along with Romy Schneider, she was one of the great European beauties.

I spent hours watching her as Baroness Mary Vetsera in Anatole Litvak's film Mayerling, opposite Charles Boyer's Crown Prince Rudolf, while working on my book on the subject that's out next month. ...

Thanks - as always with a book, once finished THEN people suddenly get candid and tell you what they kept back. But I'm tied up with my next book, on Mayerling, which is out in November, so at the...

I can confirm Kate and Michael optioned the book. The idea is for a film on Sharon, not Manson. It's in the works, but having been through this process with a couple of my other books before, I am...

Thanks to everyone who signed!

Debra asked me to alert people that Krenwinkel has a hearing tomorrow morning, based on her claim to have been a battered woman. If you want to sign a petition please go to...

There was a hilarious segment about him on the Seattle news this morning - he lived in Idaho and in the phone book, he somehow got authorities to do the following:

1. Listing for Adam West: Says...

Those pictures were taken on the afternoon of Sunday, August 17

But your question made no realize that these idiots most likely got out to wash blood off of themselves while still wearing their bloody clothing, since they apparently dumped the bloody clothing as...

They washed off at a house on Portola in Benedict Canyon, one block north of Easton Drive, where Jay lived. I'd have to look but I think the clothing was not dumped until they were somewhere up...

Thanks for posting - I have the two issues here but was too lazy to look for them.

There was a great, 2 part interview with him from around 1997 in the magazine Scarlet Street. He was still sharp and witty, and quite open about choosing to live with his boyfriend over caving in to...

Oh, I'm a total political geek - as I'm sitting in front of my computer working on a book I must watch at least 5-6 hours of CNN, MSNBC, Fox, CBC political coverage a day. And having been harassed...

Breaking my own self-imposed rule on never discussing politics on the net, but in the interest of factual accuracy...

The sentence, as said by Clinton related to taxes and the middle class was:...

If I'm not mistaken, Peter Folger, Abigail's father, did attend one of the parole hearings in the late 1970s or early 1980s. Steven Parent's sister Janet has attended parole hearings, as has Jay's...

She used to live in Seattle - I met her a few times and she was always incredibly nice and generous with her time. A lovely lady.

I think you mean Linda Kasabian. She was living outside of Seattle. She did a History Channel documentary based on her version of events, in which she made some rather questionable additions to the...

I think Watson is up next, sometime this fall, though Debra mentioned Krenwinkel also has a hearing date to be set in the next few weeks. Frankly, although I'm relieved at Brown's decision, I...

Don't be so sure. The laws in California regarding parole have recently changed, giving favored parole status to inmates over the age of 65. It is now incumbent on those opposing parole to...

Thanks guys - as far as I know anyone, from anywhere, can sign.

Thanks, Cindyt!

Debra wanted me to make sure that everyone knows about the link below, where you can easily sign online petitions against parole - this is especially important with Van Houten, as Jerry Brown will be...

ah.. just KNEW it was going to be one of those days....

Once I saw "Sandy Hook hoax" I knew we were headed down the rabbit hole. This guy unfortunately knows nothing about the house on Cielo, the...

Restless Souls, in a word...No. I would avoid it.

Oops...you're right! Sorry! Last time I was at 10066 the backside looked very different, but then that's been a decade ago!

Hey Mansfield67...just FYI, the pix you posted last are of the vastly remodeled 10040 Cielo Drive, the "Twin" house down the hill.

Things got even murkier...his sister Sarah married for the third time a Greek who was one of Onassis's close friends and they used to roam about on Christina with Ari and Jackie - avoiding all talk...

Yes, Kathleen, known as Kick, married Billy Hartington (Marquis of Hartington, heir to the Dukedom). He was killed in the war, and a few years later she herself died in a plane crash. But Debo kept...

She was a great, funny, amazing lady. I'm lucky that I got to know her a bit back in 1989 when she had me up to Chatsworth. Amazingly blue eyes, and I kept thinking to myself, "Oh god, don't...

That's the one with Ryan Gosling and Kirsten Dunst, right? I watched it a few months back and thought it was really well done - it prompted me to want to learn more about the case as well.

I don't Mansfield, sorry. I do recall Jim saying that he was out of the house within a few years after that, so imagine his parents stayed for a while.

I met Jim Asin when we were both filming a documentry for Fox News a few years back - he said he had been up late that night and was sleeping by an open window - but his room was down a flight and...

His next parole hearing isn't even for years now.

Having seen Debra's book I can only say that it is beautiful and filled with amazing photos

OK, so last night THREE hours on this on Discovery Channel. Did anyone else see? TONS of photographs and information. Also apparently two books have been written in the last year or so. I'm not...

Wasn't Grandma Walton as well? (Ellen Corby)

Hey, everyone's free to think what they want - I am just saying that from Doris and her neighbor Dorothy I got the essentials that bolster in general what Debra said happened that Saturday.

All I remember is Doris saying to me that the police wanted someone to go check who was dead (we REALLY did not talk much about the murders or anything at that point - mainly about Sharon's...

I only briefly covered the subject in early talks with Doris, but she did say they were waiting for news and police had asked for someone from their house to go up and she couldn't leave. So Debra's...

The police told the Tate household that something had happened on Cielo, and asked if anyone could go with them to identify the people there - they didn't mention murder at that point. Doris was a...

As far as I know, Davis has admitted to Shea and to accompanying Manson to Hinman's house when CM attacked Hinman and cut his ear. The problem comes when blame is affixed - it's the usual "Manson...

Passing two items along from Debra:

1. The delay in her book is perfectly normal (this happens all the time in publishing) and it will be out, Manson free, June 3. There is also a website at...

Take Sunset to Benedict Canyon Drive, turn, follow the road into the canyon; about a mile in, on the left side, you will see a hillside and fences yards on both sides - that's Cielo. Turn left. ...

Having had a chance to see some of the advance work and pages, I can tell you this book will be a must-have for Sharon fans.
