What's your favorite Polanksi film? 📽
The Tenant.
Bitter Moon
I liked all I seen... But Rosemary Baby and Pianist are my favorites.
Top 5 Diretor for me.
Death and the Maiden
@@edgarantao8618 he's in my top five as well.
History would be very different, If only Rick Dalton, Cliff Booth, Brandy The Pitbull and Francesca Cappuci were real.

In Tarantino´s universe,Sharon tate didn´t die so Roman never went crazy. He stayed at USA and lived happily ever after. He made a bunch of films and was never limited by european studios. He probably directed "Sliver".
i totally agree
I find this quite ironic as Polanski is criticizing the media for portraying the murder in certain ways and the Tarantino uses Tates murder as material for his movie. Seems pretty similar to what Polanski was criticizing, and also pretty disrespectful to the actual victims
WTF? The film was not only wrong about the true events at the end, but they got it wrong that Manson and his pos followers were hippies. They were just racist right-winger at the time.
The movie was good.
Nowadays you get questions like
"So is it true you once ate ice cream for breakfest?"
Exactly! This is why I don't watch 95% of television.
Well, he does have kinda specific situation.
You wouldn't be able to ask that question most of the other celebrities. 😏
Lol so true....

People saying you don’t get these real conversations anymore. Yeah you do, they’re just called ‘Podcasts’ now
Absolutely!
Good point,,, late night talk shows SUCK!!!!! DAVID LETTERMAN & JOHNNY CARSON asked some real questions but you'll never see a talk show like this again. Unfortunately
Even those are thinning as podcasts become more mainstream and therefore regulated! True though thank god for podcasts

There once was a time that American television was not just for children.
Well, the American public has been so dumbed down in the last 40 years it's mind numbing. Every day I meet adult with the mentality of 15 year olds.
Finally, post-youth culture: It's actually cool for adults to be real adults again.
Now TV is just for victims and females.
but there really isnt anything serious going on. its all manipulations.
@@enhanced6892 Nothing serious? Manipulation is the neo-Marxist subversion technic used to deconstruct the west.
I love the Dick Cavett Show, its too bad he's so underappreciated. He had real interviews with his guests, and he always talked to them like they were regular people.
I love his interview with Janis Joplin!
Not Eddie Murphy..
Except for Dalí
Sheri E I only read the first four words and suddenly wanted to become your best friend.
I disagree that he was underappreciated. He was very popular in his time. I was just a child but remember his popularity well...
RIP Sharon, Paul, Gibby, Voytek, Steve, and Jay. Never forgotten. Rest well tonight and know you are loved.
He says, 8 months was his limit for mourning, they were a Blood sacrifice ritual. He's an archon

It was recently brought to light the Manson Family were an MK-Ultra/CIA Experiment. Bugliosi was a fixer and pinned everything on them to cover up the for the CIA.
Amen 🙏 may they all rest in peace ❤️😭
@@TheKitchenerLeslie I've heard that theory - but I think it's a bunch of BS...
Picturing what this interview would have looked like with Fallon instead of that guy is a great way to get depressed about present times.
very good observation.
You mean you wouldn’t want to watch a contest where they smash eggs in their faces?
People are remaining children. Most people aren't acknowledging this or are desperately unaware.
SCharlesDennicon Good point.
isnt it obvious that there is an agenda? isnt it obvious that people are getting stupider and there's purpose behind it?
Lets not forget she was two weeks away from giving birth

@Del There's no stages in pro-choice philosophy. It has to be born...even then it's subject to extermination.
Politicizing the murder of Sharon Tate and her baby is disgusting. I don't care where you are on the political spectrum. Take your politics somewhere else! Damn!
It's amazing how careful and in-depth this interview is, compared to current late night shows.

He didn’t just lose his wife. He lost his unborn child. A child that would have been born in a few weeks had Sharon Tate not been murdered. 🌺 No one ever truly heals from that type of sorrow.
Never. You just have to cope with it.
He wasn't thrilled with the pregnancy at all, actually. This guy was not a great husband.
@@marieshaver4868 Esatto, Roman ha sempre tradito la povera e bellissima Sharon. Io credo invece che l'unico che abbia davvero amato Sharon, era Jay che per proteggerla, morì con lei quella notte...💔💔💔
@@123Claywalker He suffocated. A doctor told Doris Tate that it took 20 minutes for him to die. The whole thing was so horrible, brutal and utterly senseless.
He didn't want that child anyway
May Sharon Tate and her son rest in peace. 💔💔💔💔
@JJ KK Don't talk ballix
Right, a baby two weeks from being born isn’t human...My nephew was born 3 1/2 months too early, 1 lb 12 oz. He felt pain and stimulation, his little heart and brain were working away- he needed a lot of medical help to get him to where he would have been nearer his actual due date. But he got to come home perfectly healthy a month early, so at what would have been 8 months gestation. A perfectly functioning infant, and Sharon Tate’s baby was 2 weeks older than him... So just shut your ignorant face, don’t talk about stuff unless it’s what you watched on the Cartoon Network last night. Anything else is likely too deep for you
JJ KK what are they, aliens? I hope you never lose a child.
SenoritaTorres1 I hope that person does

Dick Cavett was a master interviewer, we have no one who approaches him these days. I used to love his show as he got such a wide variety of people to interview that no one else could get, such as Bette Davis and many others. Miss The Dick Cavett Show.
Totally agree. He was amazing at casual conversation with just about anyone. He had a gift of putting people at ease.
that murderer polanski still free he killed Sharon Tate and her xlover Jay serbing that night the crime happened conveniat roman polanski wasn't there he kept asking her to abort the baby he didn't like babies and saw them as unnecessary worry but she refused Jay told not to do that he was good friend to her the way that crime happened tell everything it was hate crime he tied shanon and Jay together like this what you get bird lovers Jay defended her to the last that manson was framed
He could be very funny and also a serious interviewer as seen here. Like every other late night talk show host, he was in the shadow of Johnny Carson. So, he didn't always get the acclaim he deserved.
RIP Sharon Tate (January 24, 1943 - August 9, 1969), aged 26
You will always be remembered as a legend.
If only Cliff Booth and Rick Dalton were real people.

Anyone check his pulse? He looks kinda pale...
Hey, we have the same name!
Don't forget Brandy...🐶
Well...they are
Despite Polanski’s reputation, what he has said about the press still holds true to this day.
Only the press is worse today.
Reputation meaning factual rapes of children? Yeah.
Sharon was so beautiful...RIP :(
Ed Miller he meant beautiful inside and out
Ed Miller How do you conclude that? She was only stating that she was beautiful.. sheesh

this is an honest, mature conversation. you dont see that on tv today
If it was honest then Polanski would have been arrested before leaving
Wow Stanley kubrick was the only one who showed him empathy and understanding . It's exactly as Roman said he was a wise man.
@cubomania3 KUBRICK
Really Though K U B. R. I. C. K
of course it has to be Stanley fucking Kubrick

Don’t take lessons on morality from someone like Stanley Kubrick. Ever.
I have always felt sorry for Sharon Tate. She wanted to see her unborn son so bad. I feel sorry for the others to. Rest in peace 😢❤
All she wanted to do was have her baby.
What a shame he ended up also doing a monstrous thing.
He had already been doing it. Apparently a book is now saying he filmed porn films of his wife in threesomes. Something Manson as well mentioned in an 80s interview with Reagan Jr.
Billy Beattie what did he do?
Gracie Gutierrez Research it .... you can’t miss it. Start with Roman Polanski sexual abuse ...

@@glenbellefonte9620 If they had any proof. I agree with you and the parents that allowed as well like elvis preselys in laws
The death of a beautiful wife and baby is so traumatizing but later having intercourse with a child is sickening and baffling. If not famous he'd be extradited back the the USA and doing a long stretch,
BRUTUALTRUTH you gotta remember he's famous so there's a big possibility he gets probation for a few months plus he's considered white

If you see Hollywood interviews nowadays, you think everyone is stupid, fake and really shallow.
They are all just there to sell their products. No real adult conversation. It's all surface and lacks depth.
Listen to podcasts instead.
They actually are......
@@ephemera5714 I don't like both, but sometimes we drift away on RUclips :) some podcasts or independent journalists channels are good for sure :)
Wow, Kubrick and Polanski on the phone for hours. Wish I could hear that.
Who would’ve thought that Kubrick of all people would’ve been the one to suggest taking some time off
Barney Os. Probably because Kubrick was intelligent and perceptive enough to know trauma shouldn’t be buried under more stress (I.e. working on a big movie project) and that Polanski would find that spark to go back to his job once he had time to process what had happened in his personal life. Although Kubrick was infamously a workaholic, he was always comfortable at home with his family and pets when not shooting, and he edited his films in a big shed on their property.
my thoughts exact.
Didn't Kubrick make A Clockwork Orange soon after? Maybe drew some inspiration for the home invasion scene?
Steven Nieto Holy shit, that’s a good point.
It actually made me jump when the clip immediately played. It's so rare to see a video without ads now.
I just don't like ads interrupting musical talent.
It’s amazing that his words from nearly 50 yrs ago concerning the press/media ring true today
Last year I was in Krakow, Poland. It’s a really lovely city, especially the Old Town. I went to Oskar Schindler’s enamelware factory which is now quite a good museum. One of the exhibits was a small handwritten note by Roman Polanski when he and his family were effectively imprisoned in the ghetto. He’s a complex man who has seen his fair share of tragedy, and who has visited tragedy on others.
I was there about 3 weeks ago and i noticed that aswell

It is jarring to see Roman Polanski looking so baby faced. I realize this interview is from 48 years ago, but it still takes a moment to register.
Cindy BoBindy surprising to read he was about 38 years old during this interview
I dont trust him. He's not normal
He doesn't have baby face. He always looked creepy like Woody Allen.
@@enhanced6892 do you know him?
@@lftma you don't have to know celebrities personally to know a bit about them. haven't you read anything about polanski since the 70s?
Dick Cavett -- a consummate gentleman approaches this entirely tender subject with the most professional, compassionate and empathetic posture. Truly impressed with the depth of warmth communicated towards Polanski without a word being spoken.
A talk show like this sadly wouldn’t garner any ratings today. People seemed smarter back then. Now the only thing smart is a phone.
They WERE smarter. His show always was more esoteric. I watched it a lot. The only show that comes close these days is Steven Colbert.
they seemed and were smarter, but the cretinization of the American public is as much the fault of tv, movies and news as anything else. tv has historically been called the boob tube, but there was a time when tv was educational and enlightening and stimulating. those days have passed.
Sorry for my inglish.
Well dont you think that maybe in each era their are smart people or smart conversations like this?.and its just that in each era older people tend to say that their genaration is better for some reason.we just focus in the not so good ....because in the 60s older people thought that "hippie" music was bad,and said that their genaration was "better"....its a cycle.
But i think its because of social media , we put the less smardest things in tv and make people famous out of something stupid.just look at your president 😕.
Again sorry for my inglish.

Dick Cavett let his guests speak long enough that they could say interesting, insightful things.
Much better than pretend funny Jimmy Kimmel and much more class than someone like Stephen Colbert.
It's the society at large, if there was an audience for this kind of thing today, it would certainly exist.
@@spikesya There is, look at podcasting.
@@markpower9081 Yeah but the average American family isn't excited to tune into the latest podcast primetime on a friday evening...
The point is that this kind of dialogue was popular & mainstream. Podcasts may (sometimes) be more substantial than modern fare, but in popularity they still pale compared to 'Colbert' & 'Kimmel' or whatever is popular today.
@@spikesya Yes, I think in the 70s talk shows wouldn't just have entertainers on, I think that's changed. On the other hand, I don't think there's anything wrong with a family sitting down and watching something silly at the end of a working week, I know I do it (Graham Norton in my case). We used to be able to get Conan O'Brien here at one stage, he makes me laugh and that can be just what I'm in the mood for after a hard day.
Johnny Carson was the king. No doubt about that. But he was more old school show biz and just for laughs. Dick Cavett was thought of as being more cerebral, intelligent. The brainy youth culture preferred Cavett.
Johnny Carson's interviews were infused with humor, but he was very capable, and sometimes did very sobering real, conversational interviews. He could pivot with ease depending on the guest, the circumstances, subject matter, etc. He was the master. Cavett certainly was excellent at what he did as well.
I don't think it's a contest, both were brilliant, different yes, but I loved both. Cavett serious and intellectual, Carson light hearted and funny for the most part. No reason to choose one over the other.
johnny was more of a showman. Dick was a great friend.
Don't leave out David Susskind and his show. People will probably rediscover it someday thanks to the internet. There were local ones as well that had more of a discussion panel type as opposed to the crappy pitch something new talk shows.
Mike Douglas deserves recognition as well as he took what had been an entertainment based talk show and then took on all the edgy subjects and brought in the controversial people of the era. Seeing those episodes with Martin Luthe King and Muhammad Ali arguing with other guests was terrific and I don't think it was exploitive like Geraldo and Jerry Springer were. I don't know what to think of Donahue as I almost never watched it because of his liberal bias interfering with his ability to deliver a fact based show. Phil just played to his mostly female audience.
I´m impressed by his English, have only heard him in Polish and French...
I'm impressed by his slimy Frenchness.
Not that the rest of the world is any better: every nationality has its own special kind of pigginess.
RapeState U You’re aware that he’s not French, right?
He was born in France! So he's French!!
Aourell Bzh actually you’re wrong. Whereas in US there is Jus soli ( the right of soil), almost entire Europe uses Jus sanguinis (the right of blood). If, Having polish parents, you were born during their holiday in i.e. Egypt, it would be absurd to call you Egyptian.
There's no right way to grieve , especially in such terrible circumstances but when my mum died I sat on my sofa for 2 months more or less and did nothing but watch TV but thankfully I am back in the real world at last , RIP Sharon and your baby and I'm not very spiritual but as I get older ,believe there is more to life, as this can't be it and so I believe you are happy together xxx
The most fascinating interviews.
I always liked the way he interviewed people. So soft and unthreatening in his tone and delicately addressed serious emotional issues. ❤
I love the feeling around those interviews, chill but deep, not invasive ... Tastefull, no need of fireworks around it. Great stuff
Fascinating case of a person. Had a terrible tragedy happen to him and then bestowed a tragedy upon someone else.

And then goes on to inflict horrors upon others. Very inspiring...
@@hardyharharhar6392 Others?
@@hardyharharhar6392 Not at this point in his life, asshole.
I wouldn’t say he came out the other side if he molested a kid about five years later
Not just what happened in 1969. Roman Polanski is a Holocaust survivor. His mother was killed at Auschwitz - while she was pregnant. His sister was also taken to Auschwitz. His father was taken away to a labor camp, in front of him. His father saved him by arranging for a friend to hide him, and told his Roman to run away and find that friend when the Nazis were rounding them up. He talked about how paranoid he was that something bad would happen to Sharon while she was pregnant, because of what happened to his mother. And then this….. I don’t know how someone ever recovers from all that.
Knowing about the man, its almost for certain that had Tate lived she would be long divorced from him. Given subsequent events in his life, its absolutely right that America has kept him out if the country. And there is no joy in this, only tragedy.
Fascinating footage these old DC clips represent.
Shame these types of shows our pretty much gone from popular tv! Nowadays all talk shows are just there to pander to the celebrity
And to pander to Democrats.
Shame that you typed _our_ instead of _are._
Just watch podcasts on RUclips. They're longer than the Dick Cavett Show and are of a much higher quality than modern talk shows. This stuff still exists, it's just in a different form now.
@@citygirl5705 cry about it then
No, they pander to Twitter.
I think Dick Cavett and Johnny Carson were the greatest hosts of late night television. They were great interviewers and added in humor where it was appropriate. But they also dived into serious topics and handled it with every ounce of respect and didn't make constant jabs like Kimmel and Fallon do.
Late night television talk shows then had a touch of class and respect. And they were hilarious as well at the right times.
Very well said, and very true. Thank you.
I would have been uncomfortable asking those questions. Roman was candid and very professional here.
Cavett was also very popular because he was fearless, yet tactful and respectful.

Dick Cavett Always did a very good job with who he had on his show. Really loved the way he talked with Janis Joplin every time he had her on. He treated his guests with the greatest respect and was always careful about what he asked. Amazing how much things like this have changed.
If someone in Hollywood today would criticize the press they would be out. It's also amazing how back in 1971 they still consider the media and press as crap. I wish the whole thing never happened so sickening.

You hear a lot about Charles Manson and his so-called family. I encourage anyone who hasn't read it yet to read the book, "Restless Souls". It tells the story from the Tate family's point of view. Saddest book I've ever read.
I know the book unfortunately its not from the Tates point of view. Debra Tate ( sharons last immediate family member) is highly against the book. It was written by Patty Tates partner who never knew Sharon in life and stole from the Tates. Long story you can look up Debras feelings

I've researched the whole Manson thing on a superficial basis of what you can get in the media. Polanski is one part I did try to get some reaction from, and I haven't seen this until youtube suggested it for me. This is a pretty raw interview, and quite revealing about his state not so distant from the horrible crime. I think he's still in shock. I think there's a small language breakdown, but he does get his point across. He has very evident convictions about how he feels, and conducts himself. He's not the most polished tool in the shed-and he's committed a crime himself.

very typical NYC cerebral type of question, unfortunately.
Celebral
And so may people think that interviews were so much more sophisticated back then. No, they were just as sensationalized as they are now.
I see why my parents only allowed us to watch vcr movies and dvds they chose for us to watch. No cable or satellite was allowed. All shows from their childhood and I thank them for that now. They were protecting us from this crazy world we live in and Didn’t want us exposed to the bad, they just wanted us to have the best childhood possible, which we did! The Tate murders were so extremely heartbreaking, she was so Beautiful 😢💔🙏🏼
I left a Rose and an Apple at Sharon's grave 2 days ago , hard to realize it was 55 years ago and she was 26. It's a beautiful location by the Grotto..
Dick Cavett is tremendously underrated. Whatever happened to the art of the interview. It seems to be long gone.
I am so intrigued & mystified with the 70s era, everything from the coca cola song, " I'd like to teach the world to sing", to the fashion, music & Ted Bundy..... 😂😂
Having lived through that periof...it was the best of times and the worst of times...
@@jamesanderson348
I can concur with that... Something about it intrigues me tremendously..... I was a little girl.... perhaps I was too oblivious to see The Worst part of it... 😏
I recommend not falling for a fake nostalgia version forced on you by media, advertising and pop culture. With all the glorification of the past they always dredge up, what I remember about living in the 70s was a wild, lawless freedom. The rebelliousness of the 60s was now accepted and commonplace. Anything could and did go. But the fiery buzz of the 60s was worn off. The 70s was a lot off wildness and fun. But Also a kind of general bored hangover feeling. In the 50s there was Elvis, the 60s the Beatles. So something huge has to happen soon. Right? But it never did and we were all left waiting. But, yeah, I had a ball. Just my 2 cents. Peace.

@@cactaceous She looked like a child - she did. He knew. No way did she look 18 - she didn't look 16 either. Just because some kid's parents are cavalier with their offsprings' personal safety, doesn't mean that an adult man should exploit that. What you've actually done is infantilise men. Stop giving men like that a pass - he was a very intelligent guy.
She was not _fair game_ because her father failed to chaperone her. Her parents were alleged Hollywood drug dealers. That tells me all I want to know about their approach to parenthood and what she was exposed to. Any kid who grows up in that atmosphere has my sympathy. Your comment is depressing and (frankly) you make men look bad.

It’s the guy’s wife. What he got into was stupid and disgusting and wrong but the guy lost his wife, who he loved very much and was killed by those animals, and he was even accused for being a part of it. Be a decent human being.
One of the best interviewers interviews one of the best film directors. Wow!
Love the video! Thanks for posting!
Roman is well-spoken and I think his analysis of the press is accurate. Some may like to share the truth, but like I was told when I toyed with journalism, the purpose of newspapers is to make profit.
Totally agree Kat. The press have a lot to answer for.
I was waiting for Meryl Streep to bring out the red carpet
He spoke so eloquently about this and put the press in their place and it's damn true!! Good Man! So tragic and F*cked up..
I love Sharon with all of my heart and I will always pray for and continue to advocate victim’s rights in honor of her and her Son. Amen.
that murderer polanski still free he killed Sharon Tate and her xlover Jay serbing that night the crime happened conveniat roman polanski wasn't there he kept asking her to abort the baby he didn't like babies and saw them as unnecessary worry but she refused Jay told not to do that he was good friend to her the way that crime happened tell everything it was hate crime he tied shanon and Jay together like this what you get bird lovers Jay defended her to the last that manson was framed
I really don’t feel anything but I know it is sad for him
Polański nie był mordercą ! Co wy gadacie !!!
The crime he was charged with aside: I have great sympathy for the horror this man experienced as a child and tragically again as an adult. It's unthinkable. Most people couldn't survive it.
What about sympathy for the kids he harmed
@@JessAnonymous Of course I feel bad about that but to my knowledge it was just that one girl who has since many years later publicly stated that he should have the charges dropped. But I'm speaking entirely outside of those terrible allegations and just saying, this guy has been through stuff that many of us could not have handled, and I do empathize with him for that as I would with anyone who'd been through the same.
I find it very hard to sympathise for someone who drugged, then forcefully sodomised a child. Especially when he then spent the next 50 years as rich and successful free man afterwards. Although yes the events in his youth and with his wife are tragic
Except that he didn't want the child and left Sharon when she got pregnant
@@constanzariverosperez758 You must be thinking of someone else. That did not happen.
Knife in the Water is such a great film.
I really liked Sharon Tate in Valley of the Dolls.
They filmed it in my hometwon. Polansky gave a lift to my friends grandmother once
The ending is great, makes you think.
@@karlsonkowalsky441 That's pretty awesome.
@@kevlow9494 Knife in the Water was Polanski's directorial debut. She wasn't in it, I think it's all in French. I know it's controversial because of his crime but I think Polanski was better than Kubrick.
One of the best interviewers ever...
Thank God RUclips exists, there's so much wonderful archival content.
Dick Cavett was one of the most brilliant interviewers ever but when he asked if there was a good book written about his dead wife that was really bizarre
Would never call Cavett brilliant...very bright, perhaps, but not brilliant
had to keep the audience in fear, that event created the downfall of the hippie movement. It had to be pushed on the masses to keep the fear of the hippie alive.
@@blite13 Indeed the tate murders were well faked for that purpose
@Samuel Nowe keep thinking yer lovely government wouldn't lie sheeptard🤣🤣🤣
Love them both so much! Thank you for uploading
Dean Martin stopped doing the Matt Helm movies after her death. They’d grown really close while filming The Wrecking Crew I take it. A lot of Hollywood was just in utter shock about the rising starlet. How horrific the 60s were 😔😔 but how monumental 👐🏽
But Manson was informed by Melcher that he'd moved . Tex was going there to steal drugs off Jay and Woijchech.
A book that is good, that he would recommend about his wife's murder?? What a question!
I was surprised he asked that. He's usually better than that.
That one blew my mind.What was he thinking?Geez.
While I agree that it was insensitive to ask, I commend Dick for trying to get to the truth. Recent books like "CHAOS" undermine the phony, contrived "motives" that Bugliosi made up in "Helter Skelter". The whole theory stinks and has been completely discredited and Bugliosi was investigated, but not prosecuted for tampering with evidence and witnesses.
When Watson was arrested in Texas, there were tapes made of the interview BEFORE the race war/ Manson brainwashing motive was created. Watson is suing to keep them secret. We want the truth. Always have.
Polanski treated Sharon like crap, everyone agrees. On the last day he saw her, just before the murders, he put her on a ship, then went off to party and "have a ball". Not long after the deaths he was back to the orgies and parties. He despised the baby--wanted no part of family life and may have suspected that Sharon was impregnated by Jay Sebring. This guy is no angel. Dick was sly and wanted to pry anything resembling logic from him.
Absolutely! He tried to clean it up but it was a dreadful thing to ask!
Yes, poor question. Seems like in general Polanski didn’t get the compassion he deserved for enduring such a horrific loss.
Rest in peace Sharon and your baby boy 💕💕
the media has not changed! in fact they have gotten worse, much worse
A great interview. I think Cavett was a light weight at that time but I never saw this interview. Thanks for posting it. I can see why Pulanski and Kubrick would be friends because Kubrick was way better than any US directors back then. Pulanski not only had to deal with Manson but also with american injustice.
And then Polanski's own victim had to deal with American injustice.
Difficult questions asked with respect and integrity.
How did we go from this to Lilly Singh?
What a horrible thing. Hard to imagine how anybody could go on.
What year was this interview? he certainly doesn’t seem to be too cut up about it
prayers to all
Cavett is such a great interviewer
Polanski (of the press) : "there are always mutants - the principle of life and evolution" - lol, couldn't agree more
He was such a class act in this segment, wow. So composed particularly considering the circumstances. Kudos to him to address such a heinous experience
I'm not saying what he did wasn't wretched but his victim came out as an adult and said she does not even consider herself a victim and has no interest in the case continued. She went into detail about the night and explained that it was nothing like the press portrayed it.
Whoopi, is that you?
Thank you! Finally someone else who actually has a brain!!!
I love his polish/french accent.
A tragic life, but the guy should still be in jail.
Too bad he wasn't the only one home..
Why?
Elaborate please.

@@ashmoeyo8816 I see. The Victim Industry.
Would’ve been different if Manson got a record contract and if hitler got into art school
I've often asked myself what would have happened if Hitler had got into art school - he had some talent. Manson did too. And I also wonder what would Paul Richard Polanski have done if he'd had a chance to be born. With his mother's looks and his father's talent he might have gone far.
Thats right. But we would miss out on 2 execelent Tarantino movies.
@@Shibamc They were crap.
Exactly! Society creates monsters through rejection and then society pays !
1/2 century ago and glad to see both are still going strong!
RIP to all of the victims ❤
