Quote of the Week, Another Translated Article: Sharon Tate Knew Her Child Was a Boy and More on the Polanski Case

I thought I would start a quote of the week.  It will be by someone who knew Sharon, or by Sharon herself, or a quote that makes you think of her.
First one:  "She was nineteen years old, she was absolutely beautiful. I mean Sharon was the most beautiful girl I had ever seen."--Martin Ransohoff

Part of the translated article I referred to earlier:

Novella 2000 August 21, 1969


The terrible death of Sharon Tate, the most beautiful of Hollywood (Part I)


They killed the baby she was carrying


Bel Air, among the most elegant neighborhoods of the "Mecca of cinema," was the scene of a crime unprecedented five people were brutally killed, their bodies were desecrated. Among the victims, the actress Sharon Tate, who was to be a mother within the month.
 
By Paolo Pietroni
 
She spoke often of her child. Two months ago, Sharon Tate was at the sixth month of pregnancy. She was in London filming the latest scenes of her fifth film, Thirteen, and the 'belly' was so obvious that the director Lucignani was forced to devise special optical tricks to hide it.
 
And so she showed. "It will be a male, I know, I feel it," she told Vittorio Gassman, to Orson Welles, Terry Thomas, to all friends of the crew. And she said the usual things that mothers say. That the child must look like her in looks but as for the brain it had to be just like his father--as smart as his father. And sometimes, during pauses in work, it was easy to see Sharon in a corner talking to herself. It seemed that she spoke to her baby. Instead she spoke to her son as if he was already born. And she spoke as if he were already large and needed her advice. Once they heard her say, "You can be fat as Orson Welles, my friend. But only if you're talented like him. Otherwise, you will not eat much."
 
"She always spoke to him in the masculine," recalls the director Luciano Lucignani. "She was one hundred percent sure it was a male. She also accepted bets on it."
 
Sunday Aug. 10 in Los Angeles, the morgue, the coroner Thomas Noguchi has done the autopsy on the body of Sharon Tate, assassinanted the night between Friday 8 and Saturday 9 August. Thomas Noguchi announced that the baby that the actress had carried was that of a male.

More coming...
 
Polanski appeal may take a year?

Brosnan calls for 'closure' on Polanski child sex case
By Ken Sweeney Tuesday January 26 2010

ACTOR Pierce Brosnan , the star of controversial film director Roman Polanski's new film, has called for closure on the child sex saga.

"There's a sadness to the whole situation. What happened was wrong in every way, but I just wish the man well and closure for this time in his life. He's a magnificent director and iconic in the world of cinema," he said.

"My heart goes out to his family, to his wife and to his children.

"I hope this chapter can be closed quickly."

The 76-year-old French-born Polanski, who is under house arrest in Switzerland, last week lost his bid to be sentenced in a US court without having to return there.

Pierce Brosnan and Ewan MacGregor in Polanski's "The Ghost Writer."

He faces an arrest warrant over his conviction, 32 years ago, for unlawful sex with a 13-year-old girl. Polanski's lawyer said he would appeal the ruling.

In the film, Brosnan's character also faces a legal challenge. He plays a former British prime minister who is writing his memoirs with the help of a ghost writer, played by Ewan McGregor. There was some doubt last year following Polanski's arrest that 'The Ghost Writer' would be completed.

A number of leading artists, including Martin Scorsese, Salman Rushdie, Sam Mendes and Neil Jordan,signed a petition organised by French philosopher Bernard-Henri Levy demanding Polanski's release.

New Translated Article on Roman and Sharon: Polanski thought Sharon had a great life and career ahead of her and More

Here is a vintage article that I have just had translated.  It comes from an Italian magazine and it is an interview with Roman about his work and Sharon:


Novella 2000 August 21, 1969


Her husband remembers her well.


In an interview to our newspaper a few days before the crime in Los Angeles, the film director Roman Polanski said: "Sharon is an amazing actress. But now, I do not care about her career as an actress, but that of her role as a mother."


Roman Polanski was in Taormina on the 2nd of August. With the help of a interpreter we managed to get a brief interview. He had just won a prestigious award for Rosemary's Baby.  He starts the interview abruptly.


"Certainly you want to know if I like the awards. Yes, I like the prizes, because it always means something. What amuses me though is what people will do to get awards, but I do not do anything. However I say that I like the prizes and I have no desire to say that I do not like them just to please those who want to dispute them."


"Are you not tired of," we asked, "introducing the horror element in your films and the mysterious? There is mystery in Cul De Sac, Knife in the Water, in Rosemary's Baby, as if this were the only subject that you prefer to deal with."


Polanski replied, laughing: "My films are of horror?! But not at all! My movies are done for fun. These people who judge my films this way do not understand me.  I make a movie because I enjoy it: I bask in happy events and do not dwell on horror. Yes, I think the public generally misunderstands me."
"Mia Farrow said that Roman Polanski is her favorite director. She claims that he is the only major director who now exists. This is a big statement for a very young actress, who joined the film after much controversy, and some have said to question her credibility. What do you think?"


"I thank Mia Farrow and I agree with you that I have a great record so far with films. But do not forget Fellini and Bergman. As for Mia, I am of the opinion that she is a wonderful actress, the best that exists at this time.  But," he added, "Rosemary's Baby is just one film and I hope to make many."


"But your wife, Sharon Tate, has been found to be an excellent actress. There is a promise of a great career. Yes?"


"Sharon? Probably. What I would like her to concentrate on at this moment is not on her career as an actress, but that of her role as a mother. She is expecting a child very soon. She has went to America because we want our child to be born there.  After that, then we'll see."


"Sharon Tate is not jealous of your work with Mia Farrow?  Does this effect your personal life?"


"I do not want to compare their work! I have no intention of responding to an inquiry about my personal life," so says the director as he stood up, but his friend named Silver was detained so Polanski sat back and said: "I believe in Mia Farrow because she was the ideal interpreter for Rosemary's Baby. If it had not been Mia Farrow I would certainly have prefered to have Sharon. You can not see evil where there is none. On the other hand I am still convinced that my wife can play many more roles in my films.  Her name came out suddenly after the Dance of the Vampires and The Valley of the Dolls. Everyone says of her that she will be a great actress, but she is just waiting for the right moment. Her career is important to her but so is having a child, wouldn't you agree?"


Roman Polanski repeated this statement at a press conference that followed our interview.  Reporters in Taormina have gotten the impression of him being a man who can be obnoxious and arrogant.  This taken from a very personal speech he gave in which the opinions of others apparently had no place.  We noted in our own notebook:  "And a man not intimidated by the media who he seems willing to trample."  Our opinion had found this further confirmation:  "Sometimes I find it nice to tease people and keep them guessing," he told one reporter.

Under the photo the caption reads: They were happy in London. Sharon Tate in a recent picture with her husband, the Polish director Roman Polanski. Some days prior Sharon (who was eight months pregnant) had moved to Los Angeles: Polanski wanted his first child born in America.

There is another article in the same section about Sharon.  I will try to have it translated next.  It is a long one but it looks to have some good quotes.

Here is a nice tribute to Sharon with some lovely photographs:

Mae has always been in love with her best friend, Bogs. He on the other hand, is madly in love with his girlfriend, Anna. Mae is a very good best friend, but this doesn’t make her a very good prospective girlfriend. He never saw her in a romantic light. Mae has to go through college witnessing her best friend’s relationship blossom, and she has no choice but to love Bogs in silence.


Meanwhile. Bogs have always been in and out of relationships. The woman who caught his attention for the longest time is Anna. When Anna broke his heart, Mae then had high hopes that Bogs will romantically notice her. Mae knew how Bogs was with all his relationships. He is always proud, never the one who says sorry first in a fight. As a healing mechanism to his broken heart, he would always resort to having rebound relationships to girls and would retreat at the back of his auto shop to restore cars.


Only Mae knew how Bogs hurt deep down inside. So she willingly put herself in his sight so that he would heal but when Anna comes back— Mae struggles. Will she ever know if he really loved her? Can best friends really become lovers? Can rebound love finally become true love?[endtext]

Can teacher be arrested for showing Polanski's Macbeth? 




NORFOLK, Va., Jan. 27 (UPI) -- The father of a Virginia high school student threatened to have a teacher arrested for showing a class Roman Polanski's 1971 movie of Shakespeare's "Macbeth."


Bill Thompson, a Norfolk police officer, told The Virginian-Pilot he would take out a warrant for contributing to the delinquency of a minor if Great Bridge High School does not take action.

The teacher showed the class several filmed versions of the play. The Polanski movie, which got mixed reviews when it came out, is marked by graphic violence and nudity.

Tom Cupitt, a spokesman for the Chesapeake schools, said the district is investigating. He said the teacher is likely to be disciplined for using outside materials without getting them approved by an administrator.

Morgan Thompson said she was not the only student upset by the movie. She said the nudity started with the first scene.

"It was disgusting. All the boys in the class were making noise, hollering and hooting," she said. "It was entirely offensive to show that. Even if you were going to show that version, at least fast-forward through that."

I guess some of Polanski's vintage films are still causing a stir.

Roman Polanski working on a new movie? Great Cartoon Art of FVK, VOD Trailer and More

Apparently Polanski is already contemplating his next film:

Roman Polanski Working on 'God of Carnage' Adaptation, Says Wife

By: Leonard Jacobs

The embattled Roman Polanski may have a new project in the works: adapting and directing a film version of Yasmina Reza's Tony-winning play 'God of Carnage.'

Of course, he has vital details to work out first, such as remaining under house arrest at his Switzerland chateau and fighting extradition to the U.S. in the still-unresolved 33-year-old sex case against him.

Even from house arrest, however, Polanski is still at work as he finishes post-production on his latest film, 'The Ghost Writer,' which will have its world premiere at the 60th annual Berlin International Film Festival next month. Based on a novel by Robert Harris, 'The Ghost Writer' stars Ewan McGregor and Pierce Brosnan.


'God of Carnage,' meanwhile, has proven a worldwide hit. In Paris, it starred Isabelle Huppert; in London, it starred Ralph Fiennes. And on Broadway, the cast on opening night in March 2009 included James Gandolfini, Marcia Gay Harden, Jeff Daniels and Hope Davis. Now in its 10th month on the Great White Way, the current New York cast features Christine Lahti, Annie Potts, Jimmy Smits and Scottish actor Ken Stott.

The L.A. Times picked up on Polanski's involvement in 'God of Carnage' following an Elle magazine interview with Polanski's wife, Emmanuelle Siegner, co-star of 'The Diving Bell and the Butterfly.' Siegner offered no further details on the project, which has yet to be confirmed, officially.

Marcia Gay Harden, James Gandolfini, Hope Davis, Jeff Daniels

Reza's play examines two sets of parents brought into contact when their respective children come into conflict. As hope for resolving their children's differences fades, the conversation between the parents devolves into accusations, insults and a raucous four-way argument, suggesting a fine line between adults and children.

Last week, a California judge ruled that Polanski could not be sentenced in absentia for slipping out of the U.S. in 1978 after pleading guilty to unlawful intercourse with a minor -- tantamount to statutory rape. Polanski's lawyers are appealing.

Here is a great cartoon drawing from DeviantART from "The Fearless Vampire Killers":

If one using FA for supermx , he will never cut loss @ RM 2.50 , that is 4 sure , y ? simple..take a look at supermx 's eps , on July 10 , its eps stood @ 17.15 ( 2qtrs ) , theoritically its full year earning shld give u eps ard 17.15 x 2 = 34.3 cts , at 2.50 , its PE stood ard 7 + , way below average PE of rubber industry which stood ard 15 +-! couple with d high demand on rubber glove due to h1n1 n other desease (renher ) , if one using FA on supermx , he will never sell @ 2.50 !!!

On oct 15 2009, earning of supermx jumped triple up , giving u eps of 15.14 ( 1qtr ) hence, 15.14 x 4 = 60.56 cts , that's y supermx shot up like a rockect from 2.50 to 6.00 last week ! see d beauty of FA ???

From d above , u shld know y i am so anti TA ! y i said TA is a kiss of death !? y i said all TA users r loser !?

Philippe Forquet and Sharon, Great Sharon Tate Photos, Another Star from the Sixties Passes

I saw this on a web page for Forquet:


Philippe Forquet
http://www.whosdatedwho.com/celebrities/people/dating/philippe-forquet.htm

He fell in love with Sharon Tate, who was also a young contract player at Fox and they became formally engaged. This interfered with the plans a certain well-known producer had for Sharon, including some romantic ones, and the proud young Frenchman locked horns with some pretty powerful people. He made some very influential enemies and was the victim of a largely made-up negative publicity campaign aaying that he had raped and beaten Sharon Tate. These allegations were never proven (as is mentioned in Biography Channel`s bio of Sharon Tate.)

Philippe couldn`t deal with the culture shock of Hollywood of the Sixties. Discouraged and brokenhearted, the sensitive young actor moved to New York and studied at the Actor`s Studio. His friends were the literary crowd, well-known writers of books, and Broadway plays. His family was demanding that he return home and in 1966 he acquiesced vowing never to return to Hollywood unless they sent for him.

Linda Morand

Does anyone know who the producer is?  Also, I have heard that there was once an interview with Forquet's ex-wife, Linda Morand on the internet that discussed Sharon but it is no longer there?  Does anyone know anything about this?   Please email me a link or a copy if possible?



This past weekend some other fans posted some great pictures of Sharon in honor of her birthday:

The episode “Lamang Lupa” features some of the most sought-after young stars of the Kapamilya and Kapuso Networks: Jennica Garcia, Rayver Cruz, Iya Villania, Mart Escudero, Bangs Garcia and twin brothers Dominic Roco and Felix Roco. The story revolves around a group of friends who went camping only to find themselves relentlessly pursued by ferocious creatures called “lamanglupas.” Director for this episode is Jessel Monteverde.

The second episode, “Diablo,” will pair Maja Salvador with Mark Anthony Fernandez for the very first time. Directed by Rico Gutierrez, the episode tells the story of Claire, a young doctor-intern at a provincial hospital is haunted by demonic visions after she encounters a female patient who is suspected of carrying a deadly flu virus. Claire’s aunt brings her to Fr. Ronnie who turns out be Claire’s ex-boyfriend. Old flames are rekindled with both Fr. Ronnie and Claire battle the demons.

Completing this horror trilogy is “Ukay-Ukay,” which reunites former reel and real sweethearts Ruffa Gutierrez and Zoren Legaspi. Ruffa and Zoren play would-be couple Kayla and Harold whose wedding plans are deterred by a “possessed” gown from “ukay-ukay.” Because of this, the couple embarks on fighting the evil spirits before proceeding with their wedding. Writer-turned-director Don Michael Perez is at the helm of this episode.“SRR 11, of course, will have the scare and excitement that endeared it to fans, but this eleventh installment will show how the shrieks, and shouts of the past SRR movies will be multiplied,” says producer Roselle Monteverde. “This year, we’re tackling horror concepts that are very unique to our culture in more thought-provoking and exciting ways.”

Drew Barrymore and Sharon Tate?

http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/alltherage/2010/01/sag-awards-red-carpet-drew-barrymore-channels-a-sixties-starlet.html


Drew Barrymore Channels a 60s starlet

Drew Barrymore's '60s bouffant and pale makeup were inspired by Brigitte Bardot and Sharon Tate, two references the actress gave makeup artist Debra Ferullo when creating the overall look to compliment her midnight-blue Monique Lhuillier dress.

To get the look, Ferullo used Cover Girl clean liquid makeup and Simply Ageless blush in Plush Peach. To the eyes, layers of Dior Show mascara were applied along with Cover Girl Shadow Blast in Bronze Fire and Silver Sky. For that perfectly frosty, pale pink lip, Ferullo used Dior Addict lip color in Beige Negligee and Dior Addict Ultra Gloss in Jersey Pink.


Frosty pink gloss, a silvery smoky eye along with that teased and twisted up-do, Barrymore looked like she stepped straight out the '60s.
