She really inhabited the Manson character.

SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY Despite this small role, Sweeney proved her ability to commit and immerse herself in the character of Snake by writing an in-character letter to Charles Manson as “extra credit” for Once Upon A Time In Hollywood’s audition process. During an interview with British GQ, Sweeney reflects on her fond memories from the set of the film and being able to work beside an acclaimed director like Tarantino.
