The Early Years of Her Life
On January 24, 1943, Sharon Tate was born in Dallas, Texas, to a family of three daughters. Her father, Paul James Tate, was a US Army Officer. Her father’s work caused them to constantly move from city to city.
Tate found it challenging to maintain friendships because of this and was very shy-natured as a result. Despite this, she won a large number of beauty pageants early in her life. She won both Homecoming and Senior Prom Queen during her school days.
