Charles Manson, leader of murderous '60s cult, dead at 83
By Steve Almasy and Brandon Griggs, CNN

(CNN) Charles Manson, the wild-eyed 1960s cult leader whose followers committed heinous murders that terrorized Los Angeles and shocked the nation, died Sunday of natural causes, according to the California Department of Corrections. He was 83.
The diminutive and charismatic Manson orchestrated a wave of violence in August 1969 that took the lives of seven people, spawned headlines worldwide and landed him and his "Manson Family" of followers in prison for most of the remainder of their lives.
Manson served nine life terms in California prisons and was denied parole 12 times. His notoriety, boosted by popular books and films, made him a cult figure to those fascinated by his dark apocalyptic visions.
"He was the dictatorial ruler of the (Manson) family, the king, the Maharaja. And the members of the family were slavishly obedient to him," former prosecutor Victor Bugliosi told CNN in 2015.
To the point they would kill for him.
The brutal killings began on August 9, 1969, at the home of actress Sharon Tate and her husband, famed movie director Roman Polanski. He was out of the country at the time. The first set of victims were Tate, who was eight months' pregnant; a celebrity hairstylist named Jay Sebring; coffee fortune heiress Abigail Folger; writer Wojciech Frykowski; and Steven Parent, a friend of the family's caretaker.
The next evening, another set of murders took place. Supermarket executive Leno LaBianca and his wife, Rosemary, were killed at their home.
Although Manson ordered the killings, he didn't participate.
Over the course of two nights, the killers took the lives of seven people, inflicting 169 stab wounds and seven .22-caliber gunshot wounds. Both crime scenes revealed horrifying details. And a few details linked the two crime scenes.
The word pig was written in victim blood on the walls of one home and the front door of another. There was also another phrase apparently scrawled in blood: Helter Skelter (it was misspelled Healter). The reason for the disturbing writings, the prosecutor argued, was because Manson wanted to start a race war and had hoped the Black Panthers would be blamed for the killings.
On June 16, 1970, Manson and three of his followers -- Susan Atkins, Patricia Krenwinkel and Leslie Van Houten -- went on trial in Los Angeles.
All of those details came tumbling out in the trial that both mesmerized and horrified the nation. During the trial, Manson and his followers created a circus-like atmosphere in the court with singing, giggling, angry outbursts and even carving X's in their foreheads.
The charges came after a major break in the case when Atkins, who was already in jail on another charge, bragged to a fellow inmate about the Tate murders. She said they did it "because we wanted to do a crime that would shock the world. ..."
Manson was originally sentenced to death but the death penalty was briefly abolished in the state and his concurrent sentences were commuted to life in prison.
He also was convicted in the connection with the killings of Gary Hinman, a musician, and stuntman Donald "Shorty" Shea in 1969.
Early life
Charles Manson was born Charles Maddox in Cincinnati in 1934 to an unmarried 16-year-old mother. He later took his then-stepfather William Manson's last name.
At age 12, Charles Manson was sent to Gibault School for Boys in Terre Haute, Indiana, for stealing. Over the next 20 years, he was in and out of reform schools and prison for various crimes.
In a 1987 prison interview with CNN, he said, "I spent the best part of my life in boys' schools, prisons and reform school because I had nobody."
After marrying twice and spending half his life in prison, 32-year-old Manson made his way to Berkeley, California, by way of San Francisco in 1967. He established himself as a guru in the summer of love, and soon shared a home with 18 women.
By 1968, race riots, the Black Panther movement, and anti-world violence convinced Manson that Armageddon was coming. He called it Helter Skelter after the famous Beatles song.
Charismatic figure
The so-called Manson Family made a dilapidated old movie set called Spahn's Ranch near Los Angeles their home.
"I was mesmerized by his mind and the things he professed," Manson Family member Leslie van Houten once said.
At the ranch Manson, who was 5-feet-2, hosted LSD fueled orgies and gave sermons. His followers were in thrall of Manson, who told them he was Jesus Christ -- and the devil, rolled into one.
"They worshipped Charlie like a god," former Manson Family member Barbara Hoyt told CNN.
Music a part of his life
While in prison as a young man, Manson would listen to the radio. Inspired by the Beatles, he started writing songs and performing in prison shows.
Manson believed that the Beatles were speaking to him through the lyrics of the White Album, which was released in late 1968. The apocalyptic message, as Manson interpreted it: Blacks would "rise up" and overthrow the white establishment in a race war. Manson and his Family would be spared by hiding out in a "bottomless pit" near Death Valley until he could emerge to assume leadership of the post-revolutionary order.
After moving to California, Manson met Hinman, a music teacher who introduced him to Dennis Wilson of the Beach Boys.
Wilson took one of Manson's songs, "Cease to Exist," and turned it into the Beach Boys' "Never Learn Not to Love." Manson was furious when he didn't get a songwriting credit.
Wilson had introduced Manson to record producer Terry Melcher, the son of actress Doris Day. After initially showing interest in Manson's music, Melcher declined to work with him further.
Melcher later moved out of his house, which was then leased to Polanski and Tate.
Cult figure
Manson got people everywhere to pay attention to him.
With their brew of violence, music and anti-establishment youth counterculture, the 1969 murders and ensuing trials established Manson as a perverse cultural icon that endured until his death. Along the way, the mastermind transcended his victims, and the Tate-LaBianca murders became known as the Manson murders.
Laurie Levenson, a professor at Loyola Law School who follows high-profile cases, described Manson in 2009 as the worst of the worst, evil incarnate.
"If you're going to be evil, you have to be off-the-charts evil, and Charlie Manson was off-the-charts evil," Levenson told CNN.
Manson's image can still be found on posters and T-shirts. In 1998, the animated television series "South Park" featured Manson in a Christmas special. There have been books, a play, an opera and television movies about Manson and his followers.
CNN's Ann O'Neill and Sara Sidner contributed to this report.

Betul according to wiki:
On November 17, 2014, it was announced that Manson was engaged to 26-year-old Afton Elaine "Star" Burton while still in prison, and had obtained a marriage license on November 7.[33] Burton had been visiting Manson in prison for at least nine years, and maintained several websites that claimed his innocence.[34] The wedding license expired on February 5, 2015, without a marriage ceremony taking place.[35] It was later reported that, according to journalist Daniel Simone, the wedding was cancelled after it was discovered that Burton only wanted to marry Manson so she and a friend, Craig "Gray Wolf" Hammond, could use his corpse as a tourist attraction after his death. |

First plot details revealed for Quentin Tarantino’s next film  Quentin Tarantino is reportedly eyeing up DiCaprio for a role once more Credit: Getty
It's set in the summer of '69. The first plot details have been released for Quentin Tarantino’s next film, amid rumours that it will focus on Charles Manson and the 1969 murders carried out by his followers in California.
The director has signed his first distribution deal with Sony after the collapse of The Weinstein Company, and he’s held discussions with Brad Pitt, Tom Cruise, and Leonardo DiCaprio about the prospect of starring in the film.
Despite Tarantino claiming that it will not focus on the Manson murders, it has also been revealed that Margot Robbie is being sought for the role of murdered actress Sharon Tate, with the film being set against the backdrop of her death.
“Set in Los Angeles in the summer of 1969, Tarantino’s upcoming movie, according to a source who read the script, focuses on a male TV actor who’s had one hit series and his looking for a way to get into the film business”, Vanity Fair claims.
“His sidekick—who’s also his stunt double—is looking for the same thing. The horrific murder of Sharon Tate and four of her friends by Charles Manson’s cult of followers serves as a backdrop to the main story.”
The film is reportedly set to shoot in June next year, ahead of a proposed release in 2019.

Quentin Tarantino Is Ditching Weinstein for Sony
Various studios put out all the stops to win over the director, who has parted ways with his longtime distribution partner Harvey Weinstein.

In the end, the whiskey sours weren’t enough. Deadline Hollywood announced Friday morning that Sony Pictures, led by Tom Rothman, has pulled off the impossible, securing worldwide rights to Quentin Tarantino’s ninth film, which is currently untitled. The deal comes after Sony, Warner Bros., and others pulled out all the stops trying to lure Tarantino after the 54-year old filmmaker decided to part ways with his longtime distribution partner Harvey Weinstein, following the massive sexual harassment and assault scandal that has engulfed the Weinstein Company.
Warner Bros., in particular, went all out trying to grab Tarantino’s attention. In an effort to replicate the setting for his new film, it transformed the front of the studio into a façade straight out of 1969, complete with vintage cars and an old-fashioned marquee. The studio even brought in cocktails—whiskey sours and bloody marys—from famed L.A. restaurant Musso & Franks. The thinking, as one source familiar with the presentation told V.F., was that Tarantino was looking for a new family—and since famed filmmakers like Clint Eastwood and Christopher Nolan enjoyed a supportive home at the studio, Tarantino would find one there too.
But in the end, according to Deadline, Rothman’s vast knowledge of film plus his studio’s ability to release the movie worldwide were what swayed Tarantino.
Set in Los Angeles in the summer of 1969, Tarantino’s upcoming movie, according to a source who read the script, focuses on a male TV actor who’s had one hit series and his looking for a way to get into the film business. His sidekick—who’s also his stunt double—is looking for the same thing. The horrific murder of Sharon Tate and four of her friends by Charles Manson’s cult of followers serves as a backdrop to the main story. Deadline says Tarantino wants Margot Robbie, currently enjoying accolades for her role as Tonya Harding in I, Tonya, for the role of Tate.
He’s also said to want a production budget of close to $100 million, first-dollar gross and final cut on the film. It’s not yet clear if Sony has agreed to all these terms.
Tarantino is expected to start shooting the movie in June in Los Angeles, and actors such as Tom Cruise, Brad Pitt, and Leonardo DiCaprio are being considered for the lead.
Though he has now severed ties with Weinstein, Tarantino has also admitted to being aware of his longtime friend and partner’s alleged misconduct long before it became publicly known—and to feeling guilty that he did not take action sooner.
“I knew enough to do more than I did,” Tarantino told The New York Times in October, citing several troubling alleged episodes involving both Weinstein and prominent actresses. “There was more to it than just the normal rumors, the normal gossip. It wasn’t secondhand. I knew he did a couple of these things.”
“I wish I had taken responsibility for what I heard,” Tarantino added. “If I had done the work I should have done then, I would have had to not work with him.”
Tarantino’s most recent film, 2015’s Hateful Eight, was considered a box-office disappointment, grossing just $54 million at the box office. It’s a far cry from his biggest hits, including 2012’s Django Unchained ($162 million) and 2009’s Inglourious Basterds ($120 million). Those who have read the most recent script are high on its box-office potential.
