There was definitely a suggestion of a connection- however you want to interpret that- between doc Sportello and Manson. The height factor, altitude v. attitude, the sexual seductions- including the beauty parlor discussions about affecting a "Manson-chic" look as a way to keep doc's attention. I haven't read the book, but it's hard not to think of any study of Manson that wouldn't include large swaths off speculation- not necessarily a bad thing, I think,
