Overview
- On the Happy Sad Confused podcast, Lawrence said Quentin Tarantino wanted her for his 2019 film until chatter that she was "not pretty enough" to play Sharon Tate gained traction.
- She acknowledged she might be conflating details but reiterated that internet attacks on her looks shaped the outcome or, at minimum, targeted her regardless.
- Debra Tate previously told TMZ she preferred Margot Robbie for Sharon Tate and called Lawrence "not pretty enough," a remark that fans have been revisiting online.
- Tarantino later said he considered Lawrence for Squeaky Fromme, a part that went to Dakota Fanning, and Lawrence said she earlier declined the Daisy role in The Hateful Eight.
- Tarantino has since paused film plans after shelving his tenth movie and has said he is focusing on live theater.
