Incredibly rare vintage glossy 10 x 8 photo from the 1967 comedy-horror film Fearless Vampire Killers, signed in fountain pen by Sharon Tate, "Sharon," and Roman Polanski, "R. Polanski." In very fine condition. Polanski and Tate met on the set of Fearless Vampire Killers, a film which he directed, co-wrote, and co-starred in. Their meeting is discussed in The Manson Family: More to the Story by H. Allegra Lansing: 'When Sharon was introduced to the diminutive but amusing Polish director, it was not love at first sight. Nor was Polanski impressed with her acting talents, claiming it took seventy takes to get a decent scene out of her. However, Roman was taken with her beauty. He pursued her aggressively, although he was dating actress Jill St. John at the time. Finally, Sharon agreed to spend time with her director one afternoon. The two dropped acid at her hotel room, had sex and then fell in love.'
