1. The Manson Family’s Arrival in Los Angeles
Charles Manson and his devoted followers, known as the Manson Family, drifted into Los Angeles in 1967. They were lured not just by the city’s sun-drenched promise, but by Manson’s obsession with musical celebrity. Hoping to break into the industry, they settled on the fringes of Hollywood society, frequenting parties and befriending low-level musicians and actors. Their presence was quickly felt among the city’s dreamers and drifters, weaving them into the fabric of the entertainment world’s underbelly.
