Page "Sharon Tate" Paragraph 60

In July 2005, Polanski successfully sued Vanity Fair magazine for libel after it stated that he had tried to seduce a woman on his way to Tate's funeral.

Among the witnesses who testified on his behalf were Debra Tate and Mia Farrow.

Describing Polanski immediately after Tate's death, Farrow testified, " Of this I can be sure — of his frame of mind when we were there, of what we talked about, of his utter sense of loss, of despair and bewilderment and shock and love — a love that he had lost.

" At the conclusion of the case, Polanski read a statement, saying in part, " The memory of my late wife Sharon Tate was at the forefront of my mind in bringing this action.
