These characters all make up the dynamic and system that is Hollywood. Rick and Sharon are the face of it all, the attractive leads who draw people into the cinemas. Cliff and Marvin are the people who actually make the movies possible, however, in opposite ways. Cliff is at the bottom of the pyramid, the man who is doing hard work but lacks all the power in the project. On top of the pyramid is Marvin, who doesn't do any of the heavy lifting, but controls who the Rick Daltons and Sharon Tates of the industry are. Then there are the people who move the Industry, Trudi, who advances the industry from within by trying to better the art of cinema, and Pussycat, who pressures its change from the outside through social movements. All of these dynamics tie together to make up the dynamic of Hollywood. On top of that, all of these characters are at least somewhat lovable. Cliff, Sharon, and Rick are just cool people who you'd want to be hanging around. Marvin and Pussycat both have darker undertones, but have a lovable exterior that you can't help but be friendly with. Finally, Trudi at first comes as someone taking their job way too seriously, but after hearing her talk for long enough, she convinces you that everyone else isn't taking their job seriously enough. On top of their lovability, their character design tells you almost everything you need to know about them. Cliff wears a stylish but mismatched outfit that gives him the aura of a carefree Marlboro cowboy. Pussycat's knitted rainbow top and high-rise jeans tell you almost everything you need to know about her, except that she's in the Manson family, and this persona of just a random hippy girl gives you the same impression that Cliff gets. Marvin, on the other hand, is constantly well put together and in some kind of tailored suit. His look of a fat old man makes you want to trust him, which works to benefit his career. Then Rick and Sharon are both in regular but expensive attire, reflecting the kind of actors that each of them are. Rick's leather jacket and pompadour give you the impression that he's a John Wayne kind of man who likes the persona of being tough, but really isn't. Then Sharon's youth and range of outfits show that she doesn't conform to one style, mirroring all the opportunities that she has due to how new she is to the industry. Finally, there's Trudi, whom we never see out of her costume. There's never a moment where we see her in her everyday clothing, reflecting how she is her character. The focus on these parts of the three actors' careers also reflects what they will be remembered for (I am pulling information from the book, which works as a remix of the story, but I treat it as canon). Rick will always be remembered as a second-rate Steve McQueen who had a good career but few remarkable moments. Trudi never became an award-winning actor, but her coworkers will always remember her for how seriously she took her craft. Finally, Sharon Tate's fate is unknown in this universe, but we can assume that once upon a time in Hollywood, her status went beyond just a rising actress, and she got to make more of her career than she was able to.
