Tarantino Scolds Robbie Over Mom's "Once Upon a Time" Secret
19 Feb
Summary
- Robbie kept Sharon Tate's survival a secret from her mother.
- Her mother feared seeing her character die in the film.
- Tarantino advised Robbie to at least tell her mother the ending.
Margot Robbie shared an anecdote about Quentin Tarantino's strict approach to secrecy on the set of "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood." The director insisted that the film's major plot twist, the survival of Robbie's character Sharon Tate, remain undisclosed to everyone. Robbie adhered strictly to this rule, even when her mother attended the film's premiere at Cannes.
Her mother, anticipating a violent depiction of her daughter's character, expressed dread about watching the movie. Upon learning Tate survives, she was relieved and surprised. Tarantino overheard this exchange and playfully admonished Robbie for not revealing the ending to her own mother, emphasizing the importance of familial disclosure even while respecting the broader secrecy mandate.
