Now looking back on it, it was probably more of a guy who knew how to manipulate emotions and say what his audience wanted. And I guess a guy who chooses his stage name after the most notorious murderous cult leader isn't going to be a stand-up fellow afterall. Almost like a cynical lesson of growing up and realizing that you can sometimes judge people by their covers.
I'll have to watch the series but was she not like in her mid 20s when she dated Manson?

She had just turned 18 when they met.
Her intro to Hollywood was creepy in general. Like she’s always been groomed as a Lolita. She was 14 when they filmed Thirteen and she made out with a 23 year old as part of the role.
