34. She is a close friend of Polanski. She did defend him in a libel suit, passionately.

She spoke of what a wonderful person he was. Are you denying something that everyone knows? She has never condemned him for what happened, and in that case Polanski admitted what happened, so she knows.

You can't 'smear' someone with facts. She remains his friend, which is her business but it raises a lot of questions about her claimed huge concerns about child molestation for a lot of people whether you like it or not.

Why people care so much about the wealthy Hollywood actors, is beyond me. All of them are doing just fine. There are real victims right now living homeless on our streets, being killed by our bombs, children.

Enjoy the tabloid discussion if it interests you that much, I'm more fascinated by the fascination with something that happened two decades ago, was resolved in the courts, and apparently everyone involved is better off than millions of people in this country.

Dylan, evidently, does not feel anything was resolved. The decision not to prosecute was not hers Jefferson23 Feb 2014 #38

If you don't know her why do you call her by her first name? I always assume sabrina 1 Feb 2014 #47

I'm suppose to call her Ms Farrow? lol. Your hostility is duly noted for wealthy abuse victims. Jefferson23 Feb 2014 #48

It's freeperland logic, in other words. redqueen Feb 2014 #6

I can't believe, in a way, I'm defending Polanski by defending Farrow justiceischeap Feb 2014 #5

You're not, though. You're helping to correct the mendacious smearing of Mia Farrow. redqueen Feb 2014 #7

thanks for that, j Cha Feb 2014 #14

Same reason some people keep saying Woody Allen was Soon Yi's stepfather. KittyWampus Feb 2014 #9

No. One is not technically true but an understandable misstatement. redqueen Feb 2014 #10

She was 20, so not a teenager Major Nikon Feb 2014 #16

Thank you for this, Jefferson.. Cha Feb 2014 #25

You're quite welcome, thought it was well researched vs other incomplete info out there. n/t Jefferson23 Feb 2014 #27

Polanski sued Vanity Fair over a 2002 article that claimed he was trying to seduce a young woman El_Johns Feb 2014 #15

Polanski is a no-shit convicted child molester who druged and raped a 13 yr old girl Major Nikon Feb 2014 #21

Soooo....wait a minute ProudToBeBlueInRhody Feb 2014 #22

I don't know how young the woman in question was supposed to be. A potential starlet. El_Johns Feb 2014 #31

Ah, I see now.... ProudToBeBlueInRhody Feb 2014 #32

Why do people keep saying marrying a younger woman is analogous to pedophilia? Bonobo Feb 2014 #17

Why do people keep saying... Jeff In Milwaukee Feb 2014 #18

oh come on treestar Feb 2014 #59

Soon Yi had a father figure that wasn't Allen and considered the idea laughable Major Nikon Feb 2014 #60

Nope. Not even close. Jeff In Milwaukee Feb 2014 #62

Nah, Allen had boundary issues and one needs to only look at the judge's opinion Jefferson23 Feb 2014 #35

I get the impression though that some seem to think it means he's innocent kcr Feb 2014 #36

Boundary issues do not make you attracted to pre-pubescents. Bonobo Feb 2014 #37

He was not able to keep boundaries, due to the nature of his urges. n/t Jefferson23 Feb 2014 #46

No. But it doesn't make it entirely unthinkable either. kcr Feb 2014 #49

True, she only defended him regarding the libel trial, however... edbermac Feb 2014 #23

You call being subpoenaed "goi(ng) out of her way to help him"? nt redqueen Feb 2014 #39

She was subpoened? Where is that information? edbermac Feb 2014 #40

Framing of her testimony aside - it's interesting that above it is cited that records were destroyed redqueen Feb 2014 #42

Huh? I just asked where you got that info about her being subpoened. edbermac Feb 2014 #43

No, your first reply to this OP was an attempt to imply her testimony was somehow meaningful. redqueen Feb 2014 #50

That's what they do. You'll never hear about that supoena. It doesn't exist. El_Johns Feb 2014 #53

Aren't you the one running around saying.... ProudToBeBlueInRhody Feb 2014 #45

There won't be a response, for obvious reasons. El_Johns Feb 2014 #54

you have been here a month and you are all that in familiarity with behavior and posters. seabeyond Feb 2014 #57

In all fairness, she could have me on ignore ProudToBeBlueInRhody Feb 2014 #61

Because witnesses are subpoenaed - that's how it works. byrne Jul 2014 #63
