CANNES, France — “Once Upon a Time ... in Hollywood, ” the Quentin Tarantino movie that had its world premiere at the Cannes Film Festival on Tuesday, revolves around the August 1969 murder of the actress Sharon Tate, played by Margot Robbie.
Glamorously coifed and outfitted throughout the film, the Australia-born actress does get screen time. She goes into a movie theater by herself one day to watch one of her own films, putting up her bare feet as she takes in the scenes. She spends time in Hollywood with her husband, the director Roman Polanski, and dances riotously at an outdoor party, as male guests eye her with desire. Yet she doesn’t have many lines in the movie, which runs 2 hours and 40 minutes.
At a news conference for the film on Wednesday, I asked Tarantino why Robbie, an Oscar-nominated actress who starred in “I, Tonya, ” didn’t get more dialogue. It must have been a deliberate choice on his part, I added.

Robbie, who was seated beside him and was also asked to comment, smiled at the director’s response, and said: “I think the moments that I got onscreen gave an opportunity to honor Sharon and the lightness.”
“The tragedy, ultimately, was the loss of innocence, and to really show those wonderful sides of her, I think, could be adequately done without speaking, ” she noted. “I did feel like I got a lot of time to explore the character, even without dialogue specifically, which is an interesting thing.”
“Rarely do I get an opportunity to spend so much time on my own as a character, going through a day-to-day existence, ” she said. The actress added that she “actually really appreciated the exercise and felt that I could deliver what I wanted to onscreen.”

[Tate] is an angelic presence throughout the movie, she’s an angelic ghost on earth, to some degree, she’s not in the movie, she’s in our hearts.
I gave her a script to read early on, Tarantino told IndieWire. I went to visit her in Santa Barbara, spent a weekend with her. We talked about it. She came on set when we were doing the Bruin [Theatre in Westwood] sequence.
Quentin Tarantino Loses Temper At 'once Upon A Time' Press Conference
Quentin Tarantino’s upcoming film Once Upon a Time in Hollywood was met with a standing ovation during its premiere at the Cannes Film Festival, despite the controversy that came before it surrounding the character of Sharon Tate, played by Margot Robbie. Some people felt that tackling the murder of Tate by Charles Manson’s followers was “exploitive, ” especially once Tate’s sister came out against the project. However, a new interview suggest there’s
, a journalist stood up to ask Tarantino a question about the lack of lines that Robbie reportedly has in the new film.
“Quentin, you have put Margot Robbie, a very talented actress, in your film, ” says the journalist. “This is a person with a great deal of acting talent, and yet you haven’t really given her many lines in the movie. I guess that was a deliberate choice on your part. I just wanted to know why that was, that we don’t hear her actually speaking very much.”
Quentin Tarantino Asked Margot Robbie Not To Clean Her Feet On Set
It was then up to Robbie to explain the choice. Unlike Tarantino, she seems to suggest that her lines may have been limited, but ultimately that decision served the story they wanted to tell.
“I think the moments that I got on screen gave me an opportunity to honor Sharon, she said. I think the tragedy was, like Brad [Pitt] mentioned, ultimately, the loss of innocence. I think that can be done without speaking.
I think I did have enough time to explore the character, even without dialogue specifically, which is an interesting thing as I often do look to the interaction with other characters to inform me on the character. Rarely do I get to spend so much time on my own as a character, in a day to day existence. That was an interesting thing for me to do as an actor, I really appreciated the exercise. I felt that I could deliver what I wanted to onscreen.

She's not a blonde bombshell who stops time every time she enters a room, nor does she bathe in Evian water in her trailer between takes. She's a hardworking producer whose company is juggling nearly 50 projects, and an extremely dedicated, physical performer who takes pride in her craft, while not taking herself too seriously. In her down time, she hangs out with her friends, and husband and co-producer Tom Ackerley. She
Quentin Tarantino Says Margot Robbie Was His First And Only Choice To Play Sharon Tate
Asked at the Cannes Film Festival why someone as talented and high profile as Robbie had so few lines in the movie, the director waffled and essentially refused to answer the question. He has since given an explanation, but as the film's July release looms closer, it's an issue that's likely to come up again.
And then there's the fact that Tarantino, who worked so closely with Harvey Weinstein for years, has been embroiled in the controversy over Uma Thurman's allegations of sexual assault against the disgraced producer. Thurman further alleged that Tarantino was complicit with the Weinstein-owned Miramax in creating a toxic environment on the set of
For all the fun, quirky facts alluded to in the interview, the most relatable turns out to be Robbie's answer to the question about why a woman who prioritizes spotlighting women's work in own company would choose to work with Quentin Tarantino.

“I don’t know, ” she added. “I don’t know how to say what I feel about it, because I’m so grateful to be in a position of power and to have more creative control when that is embraced and encouraged now. At the same time, I grew up adoring movies that were the result of the previous version of Hollywood, and aspiring to be a part of it, so to have those dreams come true also feels incredibly satisfying. I don’t know. Maybe I’m having my cake and eating it too...”
It's a carefully nuanced, but still frank, answer — the kind we rarely get in celebrity profiles. And it's to Robbie's credit that she didn't avoid the question, and instead is up front about the ambivalence that many women share when it comes to films helmed by men who have been tainted by the cloud of #MeToo scandals.
To have a production company, Robbie continued. To not hire first- and second-time female directors, and stake millions of other people’s money, and put my name to it and everything I’ve worked for, but I’ve made the
