(January 16, 1924-July 19, 1992)
Born in Houston, Texas
Mother of Sharon Tate
Namesake for the Doris Tate Crime Victims Bureau
Founder of COVER (Coalition on Victim's Equal Rights)

She was often grouchy (although the circumstances might explain why).
She called fellow Manson victim family member, Susan LaBerge, a ‘dumb shit.'
She gave birth at the age of 20.

She was the first family member of a murder victim to speak at a parole hearing.
She confronted her daughter’s killers face to face at parole hearings, determined to keep them behind bars.
Her surviving daughters continued her work after she died from a brain tumor.
She spoke to prisoners who she felt could be rehabilitated, hoping to convince them to not commit any more violent crimes.
She never made money as a result of her daughter's death.
