SHARON TATE photographed by WILLIAM HELBURN for ‘Esquire’ magazine, 1967.

The first photograph on each slide is an outtake from the photoshoot, alongside the version that was featured in the publication.

DID YOU KNOW?: William Helburn believed that he should get to know his subjects before their photoshoots so that when the day came, they had a comfortable relationship and could thereby achieve better shots. His idea to get to know Sharon was quite extraordinary, and a little risqué, however. In his book, he claims that while he was on his way to meet her at the apartment she was staying in in New York City, he stopped in front of a pharmacy that was selling ‘massagers’. The adverts showed ladies using the devices on various parts of their bodies, but anyone could see what they were really for. He decided that it would be funny to purchase one for Sharon. When he arrived, he handed her the gift to open, and when she did, she shrieked, but comically quipped, “Bill, how did you know I needed a pink one?”
