Earthboy demonstrates his dastardly hair disguise technique

"I've become a mature person. We're renting Patty Duke's house, but Roman is in England now. I find that I just like to sit. Patty's husband collects old clocks and he must have a hundred of them. And they all say a different time. I like to sit and look at them-l've learned that there really is no such thing as time, is there? I'm a calm person, a very calm person. I don't have time to get worried and upset about things. There’s no point to it."

—Sharon Tate to Dick Kleiner, 1968

Sharon Tate, photographed in Los Angeles by John Verzi on March 30th, 1967 and February 19th, 1968. In the photo on the left she was at The Daisy nightclub. In the photo on the right, she was attending her Los Angeles wedding reception. Both original slides are currently in the collection of the Los Angeles Public Library.

“The John Verzi Collection consists of approximately 13,000 mounted slides taken between 1960-1990 of actors and actresses, musicians, politicians, and other notable personalities. John Verzi (1934-2018) was a postal worker who took images of celebrities as a personal hobby. Possessing an uncanny ability for recognizing aging stars of Hollywood’s Golden Age as well as up and coming personalities, Verzi pursued his hobby primary in Los Angeles, but also in New York, England, France, Mexico, and Sweden. Despite the volume of the collection, Verzi’s interest was purely recreational, and he never shared or monetized his images. The Los Angeles Public Library acquired the collection in 2022.”
