![]() After a 311-episode apprenticeship on Neighbours playing Donna Freedman (her first appearance was in June 2008, her last in January 2011), Gold Coast-raised Robbie looks well-positioned for a crack at the big time.Īlthough she confessed to Kimmel that she thought she blew a signing with her US agency 360 because she told the agent about a time that she ate 1.8 kilograms of spaghetti on the set of Neighbours. Indeed, that increasingly looks like the story of Robbie's Hollywood adventure. You will have no problems from here on out.” ![]() “The good news,” added Kimmel, “is that everything after this is gravy, everything after this is a Disney film by comparison. ![]() “I'm hoping I'm going to be home when it comes out and then I'm just going to fly the coop so I can miss the aftermath,” the 23-year-old said.

And I was like, 'Oh, technology these days, you wouldn't believe what they do in Hollywood'.”Įventually, Robbie said, she came clean to her family and urged them to read Belfort's memoir, on which the film is based, before seeing the film. “My family don't have anything to do with the entertainment industry so they totally bought it. The lie evolved to, 'Well actually it's a body double, and they just CGI-ed my head onto someone else'. Basil said that dancing “was partnering, it was jitterbug” before the 1960s, but during the counterculture era it became “freedom - what the ’60s were about.” With dancers no longer holding hands, the “arms started to dance.” Such was the foundation of creating Robbie’s Playboy Mansion dance moves.“And then I thought, 'Well, the movie's going to come out and they'll see there's nudity', so I changed that.

The extras “who could twist, who could jerk, and who could pony” were chosen to be featured more prominently in the scene. The Playboy Mansion party required Basil to oversee a cast of 240 extras, all of whom were given Basil’s dance training video “Popular Dance Crazes of the ’60s” to study.

Basil knew Sharon Tate personally and has worked closely with Bette Midler and David Bowie throughout her career. Writing for The New York Times, dance critic Debra Levine recently spoke with Toni Basil, the 1960s dancing “it” girl Tarantino hired to choreograph the massive Playboy Mansion party. ![]() As IndieWire’s Kate Erbland has explained, Robbie’s lack of dialogue does not diminish Tate’s overwhelming presence in “Hollywood.” One of Robbie’s most spirited moments occurs when Tate attends a party at the Playboy Mansion, her infectious dancing doing more to showcase her lively optimism and spirit than any dialogue could. Robbie’s low word count prompted TIME magazine this week to count every word ever spoken by Tarantino’s female characters, much to the annoyance of Tarantino fans and surely the moviegoers sitting next to that reporter. ![]() Ever since “ Once Upon a Time in Hollywood” touched down at the Cannes Film Festival, much has been made over Margot Robbie’s lack of dialogue as Sharon Tate. ![]()
