Here’s the True Story Behind Lena Dunham’s Unnerving Once Upon a Time in Hollywood Character

Catherine Share, who inspired Gypsy in the film, is speaking out about Manson in the upcoming special “Manson: The Women.”

In Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, a fictionalized version of Charles Manson and his followers play a supporting role to the story of two fictional characters (Leonardo DiCaprio and Brad Pitt) in the entertainment industry. Quentin Tarantino took a lot of liberties with the story of the so-called Manson Family, some of whom ultimately carried out the murders of actress Sharon Tate and four others the night of August 8, 1969. But many of the characters in the movie are based on real people.
