Margot Robbie transforms into Sharon Tate for Tarantino flick

Margot Robbie has shared the first photo of herself in character as tragic 1960s Hollywood actress Sharon Tate.

The 28-year-old Aussie beauty, who plays Tate in Once Upon A Time In Hollywood, shared the sneak peek to her Instagram on Monday showing her dressed in a black turtle neck and white miniskirt.

Margot appears to be posing in front of a sliding door on the studio lot as she shows off long blonde extensions and a white calf-high boots to match her skirt.

The Oscar nominee was confirmed to be taking on the role back in May and has previously revealed it's been a longtime dream of hers to work with director Quentin Tarantino. 

The film's storyline, set against the backdrop of the Manson Family murders, casts Leonardo DiCaprio and Brad Pitt as Hollywood has-beens looking for a way back on top in the 1960s.

Leo and and Brad respectively play a “former star of a western TV series, and his longtime stunt double,” Deadline quoted Quentin as saying.

“Both are struggling to make it in a Hollywood they don’t recognize anymore. But [DiCaprio's character] Rick has a very famous next-door neighbor…Sharon Tate.”

Manson Family members Charles “Tex” Watson, Susan Atkins and Patricia Krenwinkel butchered Sharon at her and her husband Roman Polanski's Los Angeles home in August 1969 - leaving the word 'PIG' scrawled on the front door in Sharon's blood. 

In the house with Sharon, who was pregnant, were coffee heiress Abigail Folger, Abigal's beau Wojciech Frykowski, and Sharon's hairstylist friend and ex Jay Sebring. 

All of them were killed as well - as was Steven Parent, 18, who had swung by the premises that evening to pay a call on its caretaker Bill Garretson, 19. Fortunately for Bill, the Manson Family never came across him. 

The next night, Manson Family members entered the home of grocer Leno LaBianca and his wife Rosemary LaBianca, and murdered them too.

Charles Manson himself served life in prison and only died this past November, exactly a week after his 83rd birthday.
