Newsom denied Beausoleil's parole recommendation on April 26, 2019, saying he felt that Beausoleil's release could still pose a danger to society. As of 2022, only one person who has been convicted of murder in the killings committed by the Family has been released from prison: Steve "Clem" Grogan, who was paroled in 1985. Several others, including Manson and Atkins, have died in prison. Bruce Davis remains incarcerated after having had seven recommendations for parole denied by California governors. Private life Beausoleil has three biological children. Film roles Beausoleil was to star in Kenneth Anger's 1967 version of the film Lucifer Rising, but little footage was shot before the two had a falling out, and the project was abandoned. Some of the footage was later used in Invocation of My Demon Brother (and again in the resurrected Lucifer Rising film). Beausoleil appeared in a western-styled softcore porn film titled The Ramrodder (a.k.a. Savage Passion), which also featured his friend Catherine Share. Share later became a full-fledged member of the Manson Family. This film was shot at a small ranch in Topanga Canyon. Beausoleil at the age of 16 had a brief appearance as Cupid in the 1967 film Mondo Hollywood, a documentary about the social, political, and cultural climate of Los Angeles. It included a wide cast of Hollywood figures, including hair stylist Jay Sebring, who would later become a Manson Family murder victim himself. Beausoleil, with his prison band The Freedom Orchestra, completed his soundtrack for Kenneth Anger's Lucifer Rising in 1979. The film premiered in New York in 1980. Music career In 1965, Beausoleil was a member of Arthur Lee's band the Grass Roots. (This is not to be confused with the San Francisco Bay area recording artists of the same name.) To avoid confusion, Lee's group later changed its name to "Love". Beausoleil has claimed that Lee told him the band was named Love in reference to one of Bobby's nicknames "Cupid". In early 1966, Beausoleil formed a band called The Orkustra. Bandmate violinist David LaFlamme later had success with his single "It's a Beautiful Day". Incarcerated for most of his adult life, Beausoleil has nonetheless produced a significant body of musical recordings, visual art, and writings. Among his most notable works is the soundtrack for the indie-underground film Lucifer Rising by filmmaker Kenneth Anger. This is a prog-rock symphony describing a fallen angel's mythical journey. To
