Leslie, a.k.a. Leslie first meets Charlie when she’s brought by a friend to the Spahn Movie Ranch, the rundown location and tourist attraction where the family has set up ramshackle house. There, amid the dust and scrub and sagging old-timey wooden buildings, Charlie lords over a gaggle of hangers-on, mostly women. Leslie (Lulu at the ranch) loves Charlie and has surrendered to him. Part of what is so tragic and ghastly about the Manson family is that sometimes this surrender looks like liberation.
