After Sharon Tate's murder her mother Doris backed California's 1982 Victims' Bill of Rights and became the first victim's relative to speak at a state parole hearing

Sharon Tate, 26, married to director Roman Polanski and eight and a half months pregnant, was murdered with four others by followers of Charles Manson at 10050 Cielo Drive on 9 August 1969. Her mother, Doris Tate, joined the campaign for California Proposition 8, the Victims' Bill of Rights, which voters passed in 1982 and which allowed victim impact statements at sentencing. In 1984 she became the first member of a victim's family to speak at a California parole hearing, at the hearing of Charles "Tex" Watson. In 1982 she campaigned against parole for Leslie Van Houten; the figure of 350,000 signatures is unsourced^†. She sat on victims' boards, lobbied against Chief Justice Rose Bird, whom voters removed in 1986, and died on 10 July 1992. Her daughter Patti took her place at hearings and died on 3 June 2000. Her daughter Debra took over; in November 2011 she opposed Watson at the hearing where he was denied parole for the 16th time. The house was rented by Trent Reznor, who recorded there in 1992. It was torn down in the mid-1990s, with 1994 the most cited year^†, and the new house was given the address 10066 Cielo Drive. Reznor took the front door to New Orleans. It sold at Julien's Auctions in 2023 for $127,000 against an estimate of $2,000 to $4,000.
