Did you know Sharon Tate was a regular on The Beverly Hillbillies beginning in the second season, in a black wig playing Janet Trego, an employee of the Commerce Bank where the Clampetts kept their millions?
Her first guest star role was as ’Sharon’ in the episode "Elly Starts To School”, the fourth episode of the second season. Thereafter she would return to portray Mr. Drysdale’s minion Janet.

Sharon Tate and four others were murdered by members of the Manson Family on August 9, 1969, in a home she shared with her husband, director Roman Polanski. At the time of her death, she was eight-and-a-half months pregnant with the couple's son.
