For 76-yr-old Roman Polanski, legendary director of the macabre, a nightmare has returned. In an incredible turn of events, the man once known as husband of Manson family victim, pregnant actress Sharon Tate, was just arrested in a Zurich airport–as he arrived to collect a lifetime achievement award.

Accused in 1977 of sexually assaulting an underage girl–a Tinseltown hopeful, the adolescent was handed over to Polanski, by her mother, then taken to Jack Nicholson’s house for a photo shoot that culminated in the sexual assault. The Academy-award winning director fled LA, just before sentencing, & has been exiled in Paris all these years.
