In a surprising revelation, acclaimed actress Anjelica Huston recently shared her nonchalant reaction to stumbling upon director Roman Polanski with a 13-year-old girl at Jack Nicholson's residence.
Back in 1977, Huston found herself at Nicholson's home, where she encountered a peculiar sight – Polanski's jacket and cameras left in the kitchen, hinting at his presence along with teenager Samantha Geimer.
Recalling the moment in an excerpt from her memoir featured in the Sunday Times Magazine, Huston described how she was introduced to the girl by Polanski, who mentioned they had been taking photographs together.
The actress noted the girl's appearance, attired in platform heels and appearing tall, as Polanski retrieved his belongings before departing with the young girl, leaving Huston with no apprehensions about the encounter.
Polanski, known for directing iconic films like Rosemary's Baby and Chinatown, faced severe allegations of drugging and s**ually assaulting Geimer, an incident that shed light on the darker side of Hollywood.
Despite vehemently denying the rape accusations, Polanski confessed to engaging in unlawful s**ual intercourse and fled to France just hours before his sentencing, fearing incarceration or deportation.
Huston, now 63, admitted that the incident did not register significantly for her until plainclothes officers raided her residence the following day, discovering incriminating evidence.
During the invasive search, authorities uncovered a gram of cocaine in Huston's possession, leading to her and Polanski's immediate arrest and subsequent legal turmoil.
Following the ordeal, media frenzy ensued, with headlines detailing Polanski's alleged assault on the young girl at Nicholson's house, marking a turning point in both their lives.
Despite the controversy and legal repercussions, Polanski, an Academy Award winner, managed to continue his filmmaking endeavors, collaborating with industry heavyweights while evading US jurisdiction since his abrupt departure in 1978.
Anjelica Huston's memoir ‘Watch Me – A Memoir' hits shelves this week, offering readers an intimate glimpse into the actress's personal encounters and reflections on a bygone era in Hollywood.
This article includes contributions from the Press Association and sheds light on a poignant moment in the entertainment industry's history.
