ROMAN POLANSKI - POLANSKI'S WALK OF FAME STAR UNVEILED

POLANSKI'S WALK OF FAME STAR UNVEILED

Embattled filmmaker ROMAN POLANSKI has been given a star on a Walk of Fame in Poland - one week after he was arrested over a 1977 sex crime.
The Chinatown director was taken into custody by Swiss officials on 26 September (09) and is now battling extradition to the U.S. to face sentencing for having unlawful sexual intercourse with a minor - a charge he pleaded guilty to before fleeing to France in 1978.
But the controversy has done little to keep Polish film bosses from honouring the controversial director, who was honoured with a plaque in Warsaw at the weekend (03-04Oct09).
The sidewalk tribute, which sits alongside stars for film icons like Marilyn Monroe, is emblazoned with a quote from Polanski reading, "Nothing is too shocking to me".
