The most popular and in most opinions the best film on Manson is called Helter Skelter ,starring Steve Railsback as Manson. The movie was based on the True Crime Bestselling book of the same name written by Manson prosecutor Vincent Bugliosi.
The best time to look for the airing of this movie is when one of the Manson gang are up for a parole hearing. Airing the movie keeps the crime fresh in the public's eye as a move to keep the murderers in prison.
It is working, too. Manson has been up for parole many times but has always been denied because in part, public outcry. Sharon Tate's mother was at every parole hearing of Manson and the 3 women who were convicted with him until her recent death. Rumor has it that he is up for another parole hearing in 2010.
The 2-part made for TV movie is called Helter Skelter and is based on the New York Times Bestseller Helter Skelter by Vincent Bugliosi, Manson's prosecutor. The actor's name is Steve Railsback. After Helter Skelter Railsback wasn't seen much. His portrayal of Manson was so eerie and accurate that he was typecast and work slowed a bit. Years later Railsback portrayed another serial killer, Ed Gein of Plainsville, WI. He was great in this movie also.
Manson spent time at California Mental Facility (CMF) located in Vacaville, California, east of San Francisco. It appears treatment did little good for Manson. In most of his TV interviews he still rants and rambles on making no sense most of the time.
The most recent interview I could find was from March 19, 2009 for the Inside Edition TV show.
Yes. The Charles Farmer movie is a true movie. I just wathced it on tv.

Sharon Marie Tate was an American actress. During the 1960s she played small television roles before appearing in several films. Charles Milles Manson is an American criminal who led what became known as the Manson Family, a quasi-commune that arose in California in the late 1960s. Steve Parent, Jay Sebring, Wojciech Frykowski, Folger and Sharon were killed in the Tate's house that night.
Not in the least. Don Mancini who wrote and directed the film based his story more so on Cabbage Patch Kids and the craze that they used to induce in the young when they first came out. His original script was going to be more of an analytical statement about the effects of television advertising with children and the ramifications of that as well as he wanted it to be ambiguous if it was actually Chucky committing the crimes or if it was in fact Andy, and it was all a delusional fantasy that the doll was actually committing the crimes and not him. Ultimately, this all got scrapped really, but in the end Charles Manson had no part to play in the film or the choice of name.
Zeena LaVey has: Played herself in "Sally Jessy Raphael" in 1985. Played herself in "Geraldo" in 1987. Played herself in "8-8-88 Church of Satan Mansonite Rally" in 1988. Played Narrator in "Charles Manson Superstar" in 1989. Played herself in "Speak of the Devil" in 1995.
He does not. With the passing of the 'Son of Sam' law, which prohibits criminals to benefit financially from their crimes, he can receive no money whatsoever. Although I do believe if he holds the copyrights on some of his music that is his to keep.
