Julia Butters first stole a scene from Leonardo DiCaprio in Quentin Tarantino’s Once Upon a Time in Hollywood and now she’s stealing our hearts on the 2020 Oscars red carpet. The 10-year-old actress revealed she packed a turkey sandwich into her purse, which retails for almost $2,500. Butters played Trudi Fraser, a child actress who helps get DiCaprio’s Rick Dalton into character in Tarantino’s latest movie.
