The Resume

    (August 18, 1933- )
    Directed 'Knife In The Water,' 'Repulsion,' 'Rosemary's Baby,' 'Chinatown,' 'Death and the Maiden,' 'The Ninth Gate' and 'The Pianist'

Why he might be annoying:

    In 1978, he fled to Europe to avoid sentencing after being convicted of the statutory rape of a 13-year-old girl. He will be arrested upon entering the US.
    It was rumored he slept with then underage Nastassja Kinski, star of his film 'Tess.'
    He once said 'Normal love isn't interesting. I assure you that it's very boring.'
    He was arrested on behalf of the US 1978 warrant while in Switzerland (September 27, 2009).

Why he might not be annoying:

    His eight months pregnant wife Sharon Tate was murdered by the Manson family (1969).
    Polanski had planned to direct Tate in an adaptation of 'Tess of the D'Ubervilles,' and he dedicated the 1980 film to her.
    Though he and his father survived World War II, his mother died in a concentration camp.
    He was freed when the extradition request was rejected by Swiss authorities (July 12, 2010).
