Mountain FogRoman Polanski and Nastassja Kinski
May 29th 2008 22:38
Roman Polanski was a colourful character in cinema, having created two fantastic films in Hollywood, "Chinatown" and "Rosemary's Baby", as well as an entire catalogue of well-received films in Europe and America.
He might be remembered best, though, as the widowed husband of Sharon Tate, the actress that was murdered by the infamous Manson Family.
No, wait... actually, Polanski is probably best known for the fact that he plead guilty to having sex with a 13-year-old girl in 1978, and is considered a fugitive from the United States.
Polanski certainly liked young girls... reader Sugar Hush sent in a link about movie controversies which reminds us that Polanski actually dated Nastassja Kinski, who was 15 at the time.
"If found guilty Roman Polanski would face a 50-year prison sentence in 1977, and he eventually filmed the British novel in France to avoid being extradited for prosecution. It became one of Hollywood’s most famous controversies, darkly overshadowing the movie to this day. (Wikipedia claims Polanski had previously had an affair with the movie’s star, Nastassja Kinski, when she was 15, and IMDB quotes her as saying that “As a director, he was 10 times more wonderful than as a lover.”)"
Hmmm... given the critical success of Chinatown, Polanski must have been dynamite in bed...
