I'm reading Quentin Tarantino's novelization of his "Once Upon a Time... in Hollywood" and wondering how true is Sharon Tate's portrayed adulation of the Raiders.
It states she found their records left behind by Mark Lindsay, a former renter of the pad she and Roman resided in. Speculation according to hearsay--or outright fictionalization?
