- Summary
- "The celebrated and controversial Roman Polanski has long been the object of worldwide fascination. In this gripping and comprehensive account of the life and career of the Oscar-winning film director, Holocaust survivor and exile, acclaimed biographer Christopher Sandford weaves together the dramatic events that have given Polanski his unique charisma. Sandford chronicles the development of the master director from his childhood in a Krakow ghetto to his life in Hollywood and the making of such classics as Rosemary's Baby, Chinatown and The Pianist. This book also examines the dark side of Polanski's life, including the gruesome Manson Family murders of his pregnant wife Sharon Tate and friends, and the disputed sexual assault charges against Polanski in 1977-1978."--BOOK JACKET.
