"Hollywood. 1969. #OnceUponATimeInHollywood," Robbie captioned the image.

The ninth film from Pulp Fiction and Reservoir Dogs writer-director Quentin Tarantino is set for theatrical release on July 26.

Robbie's co-star Leonardo DiCaprio posted a photo of him and Brad Pitt as their characters -- a fictional fading television star and his stunt double -- on Monday.

The movie, which is set against the backdrop of the real-life Manson Family murders in Los Angeles, is slated to screen at France's Cannes Film Festival in May, The Hollywood Reporter said Tuesday.

Best known for her work in the 1967 film Valley of the Dolls, Tate was pregnant and married to filmmaker Roman Polanski when she was stabbed to death by Manson's followers in her home in 1969. She was 26.
