Candice Bergen (Full Episode) | Where Everybody Knows Your Name
"Terry came home and he said we're moving and I went oh oh when? He said today. Terry had found out that Manson now knew where he lived and he was afraid of Manson coming to exact revenge for not giving him a recording contract or whatever. So we left and moved to his mother's house at the beach. And then the house on the hill was rented by Sharon Tate and then Sharon who was at the time pregnant was had some guests over and the Manson family and they were all murdered and they were all horribly murdered."
Candice Bergen was living with music producer Terry Melcher when Charles Manson visited seeking a recording contract. After Melcher rejected Manson, he became afraid and moved Bergen out of the house immediately. The house was then rented to Sharon Tate, who was murdered along with guests by the Manson family in August 1969. Bergen testified when the family was arrested.
