Pitt, DiCaprio and Robbie Reconcile a Changing Hollywood

Associated Press

   LOS ANGELES - Once upon a time, not too far from Hollywood, two of the
   world's biggest movie stars were talking about what it's like to screw
   up on set.

   "Messing up the lines in front of the entire cast and crew?" Leonardo
   DiCaprio said. "It's the going to school in your underwear nightmare."

   "It's awful," Brad Pitt chimed in. "When a scene's not working. When
   YOU'RE not working in a scene...It goes beyond not being able to get
   the lines. You have 100 people there who are all ready to get on with
   their day and get home."

   DiCaprio hasn't exactly had to resort to dunking his head in ice water
   after a too-late and too-fun night out, as his actor character does in
   "Once Upon a Time ... in Hollywood."

   But Pitt? "Oh I've done that," he laughed.

   The two actors, who skyrocketed to fame around the same time more than
   a quarter century ago, have joined forces for the first time in a major
   motion picture to take on their own industry, their own town and even
   their own egos in a time of great change -- 1969 Hollywood. Out
   nationwide Friday, it's also reunited them with Quentin Tarantino.

   Once known only as "Tarantino's Manson Movie," the actual film is
   something very different. Manson is a character, as are his most
   notorious followers. And of course, Sharon Tate is depicted too and
   played by Margot Robbie. But as with most Tarantino movies, it's not
   exactly what you think.
