With Once Upon A Time In Hollywood, Quentin Tarantino victimises Sharon Tate all over again

Once Upon A Time in Hollywood rewrites the real-life victimhood of Sharon Tate. Then, it treats her like the victim of a true crime tale.

Quentin Tarantino's newest film is an ode to '60s Hollywood. And while the story's focus is on fading star Rick Dalton (Leonardo DiCaprio) and his stunt double-turned-man Friday Cliff Booth (Brad Pitt), it is set in the same timeline and location as the shocking murder of actress Sharon Tate.

Tate was eight-and-a-half months pregnant when she was murdered by three members of the "Manson Family" — a cult headed by the notorious Charles Manson. Along with Tate, three of her house-guests, and a fifth person — a student who had been visiting the property — were also stabbed, shot or bludgeoned to death.
