Although she no longer has the media coverage of a few years ago, Jennifer Lawrence is still one of the best young actresses in the industry. At the age of 30, he has already accumulated four Oscar nominations, taking one of the awards for his performance in The Good Side of Things . Knowing the deification that they have in Los Angeles with the work of Meryl Streep, it had taken a long time for the American press to name her a worthy replacement. It is precisely with her that he will share the cast in Don´t Look Up, the story directed by Adam McKay that brings together the present and the future of acting with such acclaimed names as Leonardo DiCaprio and Timothé Chalamet. So it is strange that someone like her could have been in the latest Tarantino tape without succeeding. The director recounted on Marc Maron’s WTF podcast the role that Jennifer Lawrence was about to play in Once Upon a Time in Hollywood .
At this point, anyone would believe that the character destined for Lawrence was the one who finally played Margott Robbie but no, the Oscar-winning actress was not going to play Sharon Tate , Polanski’s wife. Tarantino spoke to her to be Squeaky Fromme , a member of the Charles Manson cult who was ultimately Dakota Fanning. “At first, I researched the idea of Jennifer Lawrence playing Squeaky. She came down to the house to read the script because I wouldn’t let it go out. So, she went down to the house and I gave her the script and I said: ‘Go to my living room or go out to the pool and read it ,’ said Tarantino, but unfortunately the association did not work and as the director remarked: interested in doing it, but something didn’t work out. But she is a very nice person and I respect her as an actress ”. Tarantino is currently presenting the book of the film that delves a little more into the character of Cliff and that will contain scenes and passages that were left out of the story by editing.
However, the role that Jennifer Lawrence was about to play in Once Upon a Time in Hollywood and which was later attributed to Dakota Fanning did not disappoint the director: “I could not be happier with what Dakota Fanning did, she is one of the best movie performances ”.
