Benedict Canyon Deaths

Before Princess Leia's golden bikini, there was Sally Forrest (nee Sally Feeney):


Sally & her husband, Milo Frank, owned the former home of Jean Harlow and Paul Bern (on Easton Drive, off Benedict Canyon Drive, Beverly Hills, California). They purchased the home in 1955, and by 1956 Hollywood columnist Mike Connelly 'reported' that "Sally Forrest and Milo Frank, who live in the old Jean Harlow home in Beverly Hills, swear it's haunted by Jean..."

Perhaps that's why the couple rented the home to tenant Jay Sebring (nee Thomas John Kummer) -- the famous hair stylist & owner of Sebring International (salons in West Hollywood, New York and London).

Sebring dated and was engaged to Sharon Tate -- and remained friends with her and husband, Roman Polanski. Sebring was murdered along with Sharon Tate at Tate & Polanski's home in Benedict Canyon on August 9, 1969.
