Christopher Jones(1941-2014)

Emotionally devastated by the August 9, 1969, murder of his friend Sharon Tate, he suffered what he described as a "nervous breakdown" and abandoned his acting career.

[in 1996, on why he left the film industry] I'd had a nervous breakdown over Sharon Tate's death. I had done three pictures in a row in Europe, and had so many love affairs I was exhausted. I was tired, man.
