actress and ’60s style symbol Sharon
Tate, played by Margot Robbie, and for
that, special attention to Tate’s person-
al look was required.

Sharon Tate was brutally murdered,
along with her unborn child and four
guests at her home, by members of the
Manson family cult on Aug. 9, 1969.
Just 26, she had been married for a year
to director Roman Polanski and the
couple lived an extremely glamorous
lifestyle in Los Angeles. She starred in
of-the-moment films like “Valley of the
Dolls”, and wore outfits by the era’s ‘It’
labels, Thea Porter and Ossie Clark.

Looking at pictures of her now is

her false eyelashes.

The Tate family published an an-
thology of photographs of the actress
in 2014, “Sharon Tate: Recollection,”
in which Debra wrote: “I always felt
it was very unfair for her life to be
remembered primarily for its final
moments. Sharon had a magnificent
life.”

Her sister spoke more about the
appeal of Tate’s style last year. “That
particular era was all about freedom
of spirit,” she said. “You were just
coming out of the buttoned-up ’50s
and early ’60s, where undergarments
were what I refer to as industrial. I
think that she was custom-made for
that era, because she was truly a natu-
ral beauty.”

Phillips has said that she and Tar-
antino approached the costume de-
sign job with great sensitivity. “It was
such a stylish era, and Sharon was one
of the most beautiful women and in-
credibly stylish,” she told FilmMaker.
“Very sophisticated and yet she had
a real sense of freedom. One thing I
learned from reading about her and
also [talking to] Debra was that she
loved to be different. She really had a
sense of ease and freedom.”

DINING REVIEW

Harbor Cove Bar and Grill: Delightful dinner surprise

BY TINA RONDEAU Salmon with Dijon Glaze.
Columnist
PHOTOS BY KAILA JONES
At the very south end of our island, on
the left just after you cross the rickety
drawbridge to Fort Pierce, is a marina
with a bar and restaurant.

The Harbor Cove Bar & Grill has
been there a long time, under several
ownerships. In the old days, we used
to drop by occasionally. The view from
a table on the deck, watching the boats
going in and out of Harbortown Ma-
rina, was great. The chowder, the fish
sandwiches, salads and drinks were
OK. It was a good spot for a leisurely
lunch on a nice day, but not with dish-

Key Lime Pie.

There were a number of other en-
trées on the dinner menu that sounded
tempting. I know I’m going to be try-
ing those sea scallops next time we’re
there. And having found the Harbor
Cove restaurant again after all these
years, there will be a next time.
