I know what you mean. That's why I found the photo so compelling. It's hard to believe he changed from that goofy teenager into a lunatic."Wow" on the Charles Manson photo, Dennis. I've never seen a picture of him where he isn't hirsute and flaming-eyed. He looks so sweet and young and innocent here.
Everyone's heard of the Tate-LaBianca murders. When Jamie and I lived in L.A., we lived a block away from the LaBianca house, although we didn't live there when the murders occurred. Always very, very spooky walking past that house.
