Describing Hollywood as “magic,” Robbie and Tarantino also discussed the luck some have in the business.
“That’s how this town is,” thePulp Fictiondirector said. “With some people, it can take 12 years to have any sort of movement; other people it takes six months. Or sometimes people have six months then it takes them 12 years to get to the next place.”
TheI, Tonyastar added, “There’s no specific timeline, I guess, and you’re right, that’s the magic of Hollywood. Everything can change so quickly. People often ask me what’s been the best part. I couldn’t sayWolf of Wall Streetwas better than my time onNeighboursand I couldn’t say thatZ for Zachariahwasn’t as important to me asTarzan. It’s all been so exciting.”
Robbie’s most recent role was playing Sharon Tate in Tarantino’s biggest opening film, OnceUpon a Time in Hollywood.
As Tate, Robbie flits through the screen bringing to life one of cinema’s most beloved stars before her untimely death on August 9, 1969, at the hands of Charles Manson’s family. The actress revealed in the July issue ofVoguethat playing the innocent and happy Tate washarder than some of her more intense roles, like her Oscar-nominated turn inI, Tonya.
“It was such a strange challenge,” she said. “I find it much easier to go dark and angry. With Tonya [Harding], I wanted to go really heavy, almost like she had weights on her feet. This time I was trying to do the reverse.”
