Sorry for english, I am in school now. Of course not. Sorry if the original article is way too brief. You will easily see if you take a look at Polanski's life on the Web. Just a brief explanation is that, Polanski is a Jewish in Poland (or Polska). His mother was dead in a gas chamber of Nazi, where he barely escaped. "Kinfe in the Water" is one of his early works, which made him famous. His wife Sharon Tate was killed by Charles Manson's followers. I found it because I have been a little bit interested in life of serial killers like Jeffrey Dahmer. Abigail Folger is a heiress of Folgers coffee company. She was also killed by Charles Manson's followers. Polanski is in Europe, and his movie "Pianist" will probably get Oscar but he is not allowed to come inside the States. Because, Polanski raped one teenager in Jack Nicholson's house a long time ago. A few years ago, Polanski finally admitted that he had done it. http://my.netian.com/~windyss/list2.htm http://www.cine21.co.kr/kisa/sec-001100101/2003/03/030303180546040.html PS: I heard that Frank Sinatra was also accused of teenager rape, not to mention Charlie Chaplin?
