Jennifer Lawrence Discusses Losing Role in Tarantino's Once Upon a Time in Hollywood

Jennifer Lawrence revealed on the Happy Sad Confused podcast that she lost the role of Sharon Tate in Quentin Tarantino's 2019 film Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, which went to Margot Robbie. She suggested that online criticism about her appearance, with claims she was 'not pretty enough,' may have influenced the casting decision. Tarantino clarified Lawrence was considered for a different role, Squeaky Fromme, ultimately played by Dakota Fanning. The film, set in 1969 Los Angeles, depicts events around the Manson Family murders.
