HOLLYWOOD - Mia Farrow told a London court July 19 Roman Polanski was in "reallybad shape" when he was alleged to have tried to seduce a woman in a restaurant
just days after his wife Sharon Tate was murdered.
Polanski is suing Vanity Fair magazine, after they alleged in a 2002 article
he pursued a "Swedish beauty" at Elaine's restaurant in New York in 1969 - even
though they later conceded the alleged event took place several weeks after
Tate was buried.
Farrow--who starred in Polanski's 1968 movie Rosemary's Baby--told the
court, "He was in really bad shape at that time.
"He was unable to talk about anything else. When we walked around and around,
he kept saying 'Why?' and 'Who could have done this?"'
When quizzed by Vanity Fair's lawyer about Polanski's admission he had casual
sex with several women after Tate's death, Farrow replied, "I feel there's a
big distinction, especially for a man, between relationships and having sex. I
could never pass judgment if someone in that frame of mind seeks comfort in any
way that does not harm anyone."
Polanski has been giving evidence via video link from his home in Paris,
because he is wanted in America after pleading guilty to having sex with a
13-year-old girl there in 1977. If he steps foot on British soil he risks
extradition.
