A backlash was growing last night against the actors and directors who leapt to the defence of Roman Polanski after his arrest on a child sex charge.
Celebrated cinema luminaries including Woody Allen, David Lynch and Martin Scorsese called for Polanski to be freed immediately from arrest in Switzerland on a US extradition warrant.
Its no surprise to see Woody Allen on the list, Allen started having sex with his adopted daughter when she was in her teens and then married her, David Lynch‘s film usually have a bizarre sexual angle, but god knows what Scorsese is thinking adding his name to this list perhaps he is only showing solidarity with a fellow Director,but it is naive of him to think he can support Polanski and not get caught up in the fallout.
One other notable name that has been conveniently dropped from this sordid story that of Jack Nicholson, the incident in question with Polanski and the 13 year old child happened at Nicholson’s house with Nicholson Present, there was and is no suggestion he was involved but he must have been aware of what was going on, another example of Hollywood looking after his own.
I am still confident the Americans will try their utmost to convict this pervert and will not be swayed by the “Luvvies” looking to protect one of their own.
