Sharon Tate, the iconic actress known for her roles in the 1960s, was photographed on the set of the gothic horror-comedy film ‘The Fearless Vampire Killers’ (1967). In the film, she portrayed Sarah Shagal, a beautiful Transylvanian innkeeper’s daughter who becomes the object of pursuit by the aristocratic vampire Count von Krolock. The character spends most of the movie as a mortal ‘maiden in distress’ before being bitten and transformed at the film’s conclusion.
