Quentin Tarantino's latest, Once Upon A Time... In Hollywood finally arrives in UK cinemas today, and features Margot Robbie playing real-life actress Sharon Tate. When Empire sat down with Robbie to talk about the film, we asked her what her favourite Tate performance was. Her answer? Eye Of The Devil.
"She was so good in it," Robbie says. "Funnily enough, when I spoke to Debra Tate she said the same thing. She’s like, 'No, that’s my favourite performance of Sharon's.' She was so assured, and it’s strange because it was her first movie and she seemed very assured in her acting choices. It was a good character for her. I love watching her in Valley Of The Dolls and her playing Malibu, all that kind of stuff is fun. But I think those characters are more people projected onto Sharon as opposed to what she was really capable of. Eye Of The Devil showcased what she was actually capable of, and which I think if she had had more time in this industry she would’ve circled back to those kind of roles."
In the film, we see Tate going to see another of her movies, 1968's The Wrecking Crew, which stars Dean Martin. Once Upon A Time... In Hollywood is out now, and Empire's review can be found here.
