For some, the movie’s success owes itself to Tarantino’s deft direction. For others, it’s all about Leonardo DiCaprio and Brad Pitt. But for Sharon Tate’s sister Debra, Margot Robbie’s performance sold the entire picture. Her role may have seemed limited to some, but for Debra, it was absolutely perfect. For Debra, she was Sharon Tate.

After Debra Tate saw the entire movie at its premiere, she was able to go into a bit more depth about how Quentin Tarantino’s film impacted her.
Debra Tate continued, wishing the film could’ve focused even more on her sister:
