There will probably be another show about Manson, so they should get their headshots up to date.

I am fascinated about the Manson family more than Manson himself. Tv show focusing on the life of the Manson family pre-Charles Manson, and how they end up in that dark place would be cool and interesting. It would be interesting to see a background of Manson early life as a teen or child, or get glimpse about his relationship with his mother.

My casting for the Manson family would be like this:

Kit Harington as Charles Manson:

Kit is not really a strong actor, but He looks like Charles a bit more than the actor he is playing him right now. He is short, and has heavy lidded, dark big eyes like Charles has.

Celina Sinden as Leslie Van houten

Faye Marsay as Patricia

Halely Mcferland as Susan

I have no idea who any of those people are, but they need more than just to just look like the people they're portraying.

The mansons seems like hard roles to play. Kit and Faye plays characters on game of thrones. Halely was in the conjuring and in lie to me. Celina is in cw tv show called reign.

Closest you will ever get to that is the book: Manson In His Own Words By Nuel Emmons:
https://books.google.com.au/books/about/Manson_in_His_Own_Words.html?id=pl3KHfExjN4C

However you have to factor in that Nuel Emmons says himself that he did not have a tape recorder, pencil or paper during the conversations and had to go by memory writing things down when he returned to his car. Plus I guess you have to wonder how much of it is also Manson just saying things for his own benefit, though most of his early childhood stuff is accurate as it is mostly on public record from back then.

Manson painted his mother as a bad person. She rejected him. Part of me think that is somehow accurate. After all he was a criminal and his mother was a prostitute. However, this is a personal opinion. Nothing is really sure with Charles Manson. He is deceptive.

That's what makes it difficult to determine, Manson flips and flops a lot.

ie: from Rolling Stone in 2013:

Did you go over and try to clean up the mess they made, which some books say you did, but never with proof, and, if true, would put you at the scene of the crime?


"Well, yeah, I had to look out for my horses. I look out for what looks out for me," he says, although later on he will say he misspoke, that he never went to the Tate house that night.
Like I said, the early stuff like how his Mother gave him up to the state when he was 12 and he bounced around juvenile homes from there, is about all that you can be certain of (as it's public record).

Everything else as Manson says is perspectives:

http://www.rollingstone.com/culture/news/charles-manson-today-the-final-confessions-of-a-psychopath-20131121

Forty-four years on, the facts in the Manson case aren't really facts anymore – they're beliefs and conclusions fashioned out of bits and pieces of bent and redirected light, or, as Charlie likes to call them, they're "perspectives." "Helter Skelter wasn't a lie," he says. "It was just Bugliosi's perspective. Everybody's saying it the way they want to remember it. Sooner or later, we all got to submit to each other's point of view. Sure, it was going on. But it was just part of the part. The reasons was all kinds of different things that were happening in Tex's mind and all of our minds together, and there's lots of different discrepancies in there that don't correlate to be straight. There was a lot of motives, man. You got a motive for every person there. It was a collective idea. It was an episode. A psychotic episode, and you want to blame me for that?"

There are so many stories floating around out there that no-one really knows the truth and likely they ever will. As let's face it, some of the family had mental issues to begin with then add on top of that the LSD taking (in vast quantities) and it all becomes blurred.

The squad seemed to come from disturbing childhood or they seems to be neglected by their parent. Patricia and Leslie seemed like the least who went through troubling childhood. Susan and Charles were distrubed people. I don't the other part of the gang.

Ouisch (Ruth Ann Morehouse) was given to Manson by her father when she was only 14-15. Needless to say there were many "kids and young adults" in the family that had issues. They were consuming large quantities of drugs to boot. They were certainly drinking up Manson's Kool-Aid.
