Discovered by a Famous Man
While Lee had been in movies many times, his true talent as a martial arts star went undiscovered until 1964 when he had a chance meeting with hairdresser Jay Sebring. Sebring took Lee to a television show screen test where his skills were finally put on display for television for the first time. Sebring was murdered on August 9, 1969, by the Manson Family in one of the most infamous crimes in American history.
