So, a question to the Hollywoodenheads: Does this finally raise the “Yuck” factor of Roman “Admitted Rapist” Polanski high enough that even your cluelessness is shattered?
I’ve got a copy of RoPo’s memoir, Roman by Polanski (get it???), sitting on my desk. Would you like to see an excerpt involving the sexing up of girls not of driver’s permit age? Too late! This section describes events from October 1976:
One day a German gossip columnist invited me out on a double date with two girls he wante me to meet. Both were young and, in different ways, strikingly beautiful. One of them was rather dowdily dressed. I asked her name. “My friends call me Nasty,” she said. [...] Very late that night, after a long round of discos, the four of us ended up in my suite. Leaving Nasty with the journalist, I took the other girl, a stunning blonde, to bed. By the time I surfaced the journalist had gone. Nasty was half-asleep in an armchair in the sitting room. Taking her by the hand, I led her back into the bedroom.
We never repeated this threesome, though I saw a lot of both girls thereafter. I dated the blonde for several weeks, but it was Nasty who grew on me more and more. [...]
Nastassia introdued me to her mother, who discussed her career with me [...]. That was when I first learned Nastassia’s age. She was only fifteen.
We made love more than once during my three months in Munich. [...] On the night we met I’d thought her a couple of years older than her friend, who was, in fact, seventeen.
Charming! Just a couple of months later came The Incident. Yes, he describes it in the book. I’ll keep the nauseating excerpt to a minimum:
Then, very gently, I began to kiss and caress her. After this had gone on for some time, I led her over to the couch.
There was no doubt about Sandra’s experience and lack of inhibition. She spread herself and I entered her. She wasn’t unresponsive.
Polanski was “incredulous” that anyone would consider his actions a crime.
Good, old Roman. He has an appetite for girls well below what is considered the age of consent in anywhere but Hollyweird, apparently.
