The New Beverly Cinema, an establishment owned and operated by Tarantino, expressed its condolences for the loss of Dalton by featuring a special marquee message, honoring him as “a remarkable actor.”
In the film, Rick Dalton resided next door to Roman Polanski and Sharon Tate in Benedict Canyon, Los Angeles. Alongside his stunt double and chauffeur, Cliff Booth (portrayed by Oscar-winner Brad Pitt), they faced an attack by Charles Manson’s followers and ultimately thwarted the real-life, gruesome 1969 murder spree.
