Is Sharon Tate in Rosemarys Baby?
This rumor has been floating around since the movie came out. I don’t think there has ever been a definite answer. Wikipedia says this: “Polanski returned to the United States, and was contracted to direct the film version of Ira Levin’s novel Rosemary’s Baby. He later admitted that he had wanted Tate to star in the film and had hoped that someone would suggest her, as he felt it inappropriate to make the suggestion himself. The producers did not suggest Tate, and Mia Farrow was cast. Tate provided ideas for some of the key scenes, including the scene in which the protagonist, Rosemary, is impregnated. She also appeared uncredited as a guest in a party scene. A frequent visitor to the set, she was photographed there by Esquire magazine and the resulting photographs generated considerable publicity for both Tate and the film.
