1969: Manson Girls (4/30)
April 26, 2019
LYNETTE FROMME AND DIANNE LAKE DESCRIBE WHO CHARLES MANSON REALLY WAS, JOINING HIS GROUP OF FOLLOWERS AND WHY THE MANSON FAMILY LOVED AND KILLED FOR HIM, TUESDAY, APRIL 30, ON ABC
“Manson Girls” – Two young women, while still in their teens, fell in love with Charles Manson and became part of his group of devoted followers. Lynette “Squeaky” Fromme and Dianne Lake describe in revelatory detail the journeys that led each of them to join the so-called “Manson Family.” The two former Manson Family members give an inside view of what life with Charles was like; how the counter culture of the ‘60s that extolled sex, drugs and rock ‘n roll shaped their view of the world; and the convictions that moved the group toward a violent drug-fueled murder spree that left seven dead, including actress Sharon Tate, who was more than eight months pregnant at the time and living in the home she shared with her, husband, Roman Polanski. The special episode airs TUESDAY, APRIL 30 (10:00-11:00 p.m. EDT), on The ABC Television Network and will be available on streaming and on demand.
The series director and executive producer is Jeanmarie Condon for ABC’s Lincoln Square Productions. “Manson Girls” is directed by Sean Gulette.
