Tate was a murder victim of the Charles Manson’s Family in 1969. She was killed while eight-and-a-half months pregnant with both her and her husband,director Roman Polanski’s, first child.
“They all said how kind, loving, and good-hearted she was,” the actresstold PEOPLE. “I was fortunate enough to step on to set with Debra Tate’s blessing, Sharon’s sister.”
The film also starsLeonardo DiCaprioandBrad Pittwho play Rick Dalton and Cliff Booth, respectively, two aged Hollywood actors who try to make their way around a changing industry while Charles Manson is on the loose.
On Wednesday, Tarantino, 56,had a curt responsefor a female reporter fromThe New York Timeswho asked why Robbie wasn’t given more to say or do in the film, according toVariety.
“I reject your hypothesis,” he said during a press conference for the movie.
Robbie then attempted to answer the question, saying, “I think the moments I was on screen gave a moment to honor Sharon.”
“I think the tragedy was the loss of innocence,” she continued. “To show the wonderful sides of her could be done without speaking. I did feel like I got a lot of time to explore the character without dialogue, which is an interesting thing.”
She added, “Rarely do I get an opportunity to spend so much time on my own as a character.”
