Sebring and Sharon Tate

Sebring met the actress Sharon Tate at a party at the Whisky a Go Go club in October 1964 and they began a relationship. Sebring bought the former home of Paul Bern, husband of Jean Harlow, on Easton Drive in Benedict Canyon, then owned by Sally Forrest. Tate spent much of her time there, and was also remembered by Sebring's clients as a constant presence in his Los Angeles salon.

Tate went to London in early 1966 to work on The Fearless Vampire Killers with film director Roman Polanski. They began a relationship, and Tate ended her relationship with Sebring, who travelled to London to meet Polanski. He befriended Polanski, while remaining a friend to Tate. Polanski would later comment that despite Sebring's lifestyle, he was a very lonely person, who regarded Sharon Tate and Roman Polanski as his family.

    Swimmer of noonday, lean for the perfect dive

    You had not seen take amber light alive.
