Legendary director Quentin Tarantino’s favorite TV show is a 20-year-old sitcom that, while unexpected, isn’t as surprising as some fans might think.
Debicki is an Emmy and Golden Globe winner who’s partly known for her acclaimed work as Princess Di in the Netflix series The Crown. Marvel fans will recognize her as Ayesha from the Guardians of the Galaxy movie series directed by James Gunn. She last appeared on the big screen in the horror movie MaXXXine, with her other film credits including The Great Gatsby, The Man from U.N.C.L.E., The Cloverfield Paradox, Tenet, and Widows.
Released in 2019, Once Upon a Time in Hollywood is serving as Tarantino’s penultimate film as director, as he’s been consistent with his claims that his next feature film will be his last. The film was set in 1969 in Los Angeles, following actor Rick Dalton (Leonardo DiCaprio) and his stunt double (Pitt) navigating Hollywood as the infamous Manson Family murders approach. Along with Pitt and DiCaprio, the movie also featured Margot Robbie, Emile Hirsch, Margaret Qualley, Al Pacino, and Austin Butler.
