Roman Polanski Death and the Girls His father was a Polish Jew named Richard Liebling.

. He took surname Polanski after divorce with his first wife. At the time, he was in Paris, where he met Russian Jewess, which will leave her husband for him. Richard will marry her, and in 1933 she will give birth to a son, which name should be Raymond Liebling, but who will become Roman Polanski, world known film director. Roman was born in Paris, where his parents met, but, in 1937 Richard decides to move back to Krakow, in Poland and soon after that, will become clear how disastrous decision that was. Two years later Nazis will kill Roman's mother and he and his father will survive. Although his father survived, Roman was growing up alone. He spent childhood on the streets, in the dark of cinemas, and death was breathing right behind his neck, almost all the time. Formally, Oliver Twist is movie based on Charles Dickens novel Oliver Twist, but, in fact it's autobiographical movie. Almost the same can be said for Pianist, movie based on autobiography of Wadysaw "Wadek" Szpilman, Polish pianist even more, in this movie, connection with life of Roman Polanski is more obvious. Although Polanski denies any trace of autobiographical in his movies, common denominator for more than half of his movies could be Death and the Girl: from Knife in the Water, over Chinatown and The Tenant to Frantic and Bitter Moon. Life of Roman Polanski is marked with death of young girls from his mother to his wife. Right after he graduated, becomes ultimately famous with Knife in the water. Scene from that movie was on Times cover on September 20th of 1963. Polanski gets the chance to work in England, where he meets Sharon Tate who didn't delighted him at first sight. In spite of that, he gave her a role in his next movie The Fearless Vampire Killers, and they became lovers. Soon after that Sharon Tate will become his wife. After wedding couple moves to California, where Paramount engages Polanski to film Ira Levin's novel Rosemary's baby. Charles Manson with his followers killed pregnant Sharon Tate as epilogue of this, a bit satanic, movie. This incidence will change Polanski's attitude to women: he will constantly go through superficial affairs with younger women, trying not to tie emotionally. In 1976 he had affair with 15 years old Nastassja Kinski who he will photograph soon for magazine Vogue. As that was successful project, Vogue engaged him again for photo session, which will result with accusation for the sexual assault of 13 year old Samantha Geimer. Polanski photographed her in Jack Nicholson's house, and what happened later is defined by American law as statutory rape. In short, Polanski flees to France, and from that time, he is wanted in America. In Europe he will film Tess, and later Frantic movie where main role will play Emanuelle Seigner. She will become last Polanski's wife ( at least for now ).
