The year was 1969. Sharon Marie Tate Polanski was 8 ½ months pregnant and on the cusp of a beautiful, successful career in Hollywood with husband Film Director Roman Polanski's support, when Manson cult followers struck. But Quentin Tarantino's ninth film ( the first without Weinsten as producer) isn't as much about her as it is about that period in Hollywood where the tinsel world appears to have lost its sparkle – embodied here, by a fictional once popular cinema and TV star, budding alcoholic Rick Dalton ( Leonardo DiCaprio) and his struggle to navigate the fast changing Hollywood landscape, alongside an ever loyal gofer buddy, Cliff Booth(Brad Pitt), his regular stunt double. Tarantino's film incorporates multiple subplots, true to that age and its milestones, in a bid to paint Hollywood history in an augmented 'Western' halo. This film is also the last film Luke Perry acted in before his unexpected demise.
