An article on a new documentary movie about Roman Polanski jumped out at me and took hold! The movie, Roman Polanski: Wanted and Desired, mostly covers the legal case that caused him to leave the country and never return.
After the success of Rosemary’s Baby in 1968 and the murder of his wife Sharon Tate the following year, Polanski was pegged a naughty boy. In 1977 while filming Chinatown a Star Mother fed her 13 year old daughter to Polanski who at the time was dating 15 year old Nastassja Kinski. Polanski admitted to consensual sex with the girl, the mother pressed charges, Polanski went to trial, the prosecutor was a Mormon and the Judge let it be known he was going to make an example of Polanski. The famous director drove to the airport and left his Mercedes parked and fled to Europe and never came back. He won the Best Director Oscar for the Pianist in 2003. Hollywood’s Most Beloved Fugitive
Well well well… What was Mr Polanski thinking! He had a Mormon right there in the courtroom he could have talked to about this. Fleeing to Europe and losing everything he had made when he could have just driven off to West Texas, opened the gate to the Eldorado Zion FLDS cult compound and screwed, diddled, and done whatever he pleased to as many 13 year old girls as he wanted. With not lawsuits but the blessings of their mothers. He could kept all his money, enjoyed all his fame and gone on directing movies at his leisure. You don’t have to run to Europe if you like molesting children, just become a priest or a fundamentalist Mormon and you get a free ride here in America.
