I heard on NPR today that much of Hollywood wants Roman Polanski to be


able to come back without facing jail time for the rape of the 13 year old many years ago. I don't understand this. This guy (per the news) plead guilty but worried that the plea deal would be pulled and he'd go to jail so he fled the country. Aren't we looking at two crimes? The rape and the fleeing? And why would Hollywood support him? Because he makes good films? By supporting him aren't they also supporting rape cultural that they're all about speaking out against? I'm just so confused. I wouldn't make it in Hollywood not just because of my lack of looks, charm, and talent.
