‘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.
In the house with Tate, who was pregnant, were coffee heiress Abigail Folger, Folger’s beau Wojciech Frykowski, and Tate’s hairstylist friend and ex Jay Sebring.

All of them were killed as well – as was Steven Parent, 18, who had swung by the premises that evening to pay a call on its caretaker Bill Garretson, 19. Fortunately for Garretson, the Manson Family never came across him.
The next night, Manson Family members entered the home of grocer Leno LaBianca and his wife Rosemary LaBianca, and murdered them too.
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.
