ZURICH/LOS ANGELES, Sept 27 (Reuters) - Fugitive director Roman Polanski, whose tumultuous life has overshadowed his film career, was arrested this weekend in Zurich after U.S. authorities sought to have him extradited to face sentencing for having sex with a 13-year-old girl in 1977.


Polanski, 76, was taken into custody on Saturday after arriving in Switzerland to receive a lifetime achievement award at the Zurich Film Festival the next day.

Just saw your Facebook comment about this. That is kind of cosmic to have Susan Atkins die in the same week as Polanski gets arrested in Zurich. And both in the 40th anniversary year of Sharon Tate's murder.....
