According to PopBuzz, Sydney Sweeney played the role of Snake in “Once Upon a Time…In Hollywood.” Snake was a member of the Manson Family, a commune cult led by Charles Manson, that was responsible for the deaths of five people. However, “OUATIH” explored a different reality in which the murder of Sharon Tate did not occur. Viewers first meet Snake in a scene with Brad Pitt and fellow Manson family member, Pussycat (Margaret Qualley). The two girls are looking to hitchhike, but Pitt, who plays Rick Dalton, turns them down. Viewers later see Snake on the ranch, acting as lookout for a room full of young girls.

While Sweeney’s part was smaller in comparison to Pitt’s, landing a role in such a high-profile film was a big deal. Though she auditioned (just like everyone else) the actor truly went the extra mile to secure her role. “I chose a different character that I liked, I wrote a letter from them to [Charles] Manson and I read the letter as if I was reading it to him. It was like a … love letter, from a Manson girl’s mind,” Sweeney revealed in an interview with tmrw. She also told the outlet that director Quentin Tarantino even kept the letter — so it’s safe to say she made a big impression!
