More on Roman Polanski
Description from Wikipedia:
Roman Raymond Polański (born August 18, 1933) is an Academy Award-winning Polish film director, writer, actor and producer.
Polanski began his career in Poland, and later became a celebrated director of both art house and commercial films, making such films as Rosemary's Baby (1968) and Chinatown (1974).
Polanski is one of the world's best known contemporary film directors.
He is also known for his turbulent and controversial personal life.
Polanski survived the Holocaust in German occupied Poland during WWII.
In 1969, his pregnant wife, Sharon Tate, was murdered by the infamous Manson Family.
In 1977, he was arrested in Los Angeles and pleaded guilty to "unlawful sexual intercourse with a minor", a 13-year-old girl.
Released after a 42-day psychiatric evaluation, Polanski fled to France.
He is considered by U.S. authorities to be a fugitive from justice and cannot return to the United States without risking arrest and imprisonment.
Polanski has since avoided visits to countries that were likely to extradite him, such as the United Kingdom.
As a French citizen, he is protected by France's limited extradition with the United States, and Poland is also unlikely to extradite him.
He travels mostly between France, where he resides, and Poland.
