'Both are struggling to make it in a Hollywood they don’t recognize anymore. But [DiCaprio's character] Rick has a very famous next-door neighbor… Sharon Tate.'
Manson Family members Charles 'Tex' Watson, Susan Atkins and Patricia Krenwinkel butchered Tate at her and her husband Roman Polanski's Los Angeles home in August 1969 - leaving the word 'PIG' scrawled on the front door in Tate's blood.

Charles Manson himself served life in prison and only died this past November, exactly a week after his 83rd birthday. Margot Robbie stars as the late Sharon Tate.
