Margot Robbie says Once Upon a Time in Hollywood director Quentin Tarantino watched everything she had ever been in before giving her a role in his movie.
Margot was cast as murdered model and actress Sharon Tate in Once Upon a Time in America by Tarantino.
Tate was murdered in 1969 by members of Charles Manson’s twisted sex cult along with four others in a killing spree that shocked the US.
Tarantino chose Robbie after going through almost all her roles. From Pan Am to Neighbours, and even her screen tests, the brains behind films Pulp Fiction and Reservoir Dogs was said to have lapped up what he saw.

Speaking candidly in the Five Things with Lynn Hirschberg podcast, Margot said Tarantino’s approach to casting was indicative of his attention to detail.

However, he was seemingly impressed, and gave Margot an opportunity to reprise one of her roles in the short-lived ABC period drama, Pan Am.
Margot said: “That’s the amazing thing about Quentin, his attention to detail.
“He watched everything I had done before we met, even Neighbours, even Pan Am, all of that.”
Hirschberg then told her that Tarantino had watched her screen tests, and told her they were really good.
“Did he really?” said a surprised Margot.
“He’s just so thorough like that, he’s really like detail oriented.”

She added: “He’d watched all Pan Am, he’d watched a bunch of Neighbours, and I was like ‘oh goodness, please still give me the job’.
“Because I, obviously, wasn’t a very good actor back then.
“But there’s a brief glimpse of a Pan Am stewardess in Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, and that is me.
“And I got to dance, that was when I was being Sharon Tate on the Pan Am plane, but I actually played one of the Pan Am stewardesses, you just never saw my face.”
“It was just my hands making a Bloody Mary for Leo, I think.”
