I imagine the speech from Clem is exactly what everyone heard from Charlie on a regular basis. They all look like such a mess, not knowing what to do without constant direction and the rookies trying to play along
@medium patty.......I dont know this for certain, but I have a feeling those still photos you mention were taken by Gregg Jakobson (or associates of his) in the Spring of 1969 as part of the proposed Jakobson/Melcher documentary film on Manson. I would certainly love to know what happened to the video/film footage shot at Spahn Ranch in connection with this project.
I thought I'd read a British news company bought all the hendrickson footage and used essentially the same shots we've already seen in some of the many new documentary type pieces?
It's hard to imagine there's footage that hasn't been released. I'd be interested in every second filmed. I remember once seeing a photo of the film cans in Hendrickson's house. Looked like quite a few - an 800ft reel is probably 20-30 minutes, and I remember there being quite a few.
Thanks for sharing. What a great narration and capture of the “essence” of this era. I applaud the effort and sincerity of what I consider an important work.
If you look at their eyes, you can actually see the mice running around inside the girls' heads.

DeleteDoes anyone know whether Mrs. Hendrickson is still alive? I don't remember an announcement of her death.
ReplyDeleteLooks like Toby has passed
DeleteThank you, Matt. I can see why Robert fell for her.
DeleteDoes anyone know who has all of the footage?
ReplyDeleteI would like to know that also if anyone has the answer. Thanks.
DeleteI'm curious about the still photos of the girls in the opening credits. Who took those photos? Are they available to view somewhere?

ReplyDeletecorrect
DeleteCol do you know how many hours of raw footage there is and did you make an offer?
DeleteNaked Entertainment LLC / Fremantle produced the two-part "The Lost Tapes" (2018). Do they own Hendrickson's footage?
