Christopher Sanford talks new Roman Stephanie Schneiderman Polanski biography at Seaside library plays Peninsula Arts Center SEASIDE — The Friends of the Seaside Library welcomes author Christopher Sandford as he speaks about his book “Polanski: A Biography” at 7 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 8. The event will take place in the Seaside Library’s communi- ty room with book sales and signings following the talk. “Polanski” is an in-depth examination of one of Holly- wood’s most famous and in- famous ¿lm directors, 5oman Polanski. Born in Paris to Pol- ish-Jewish parents, Polanski dealt with the terrors of his childhood — including inter- ment in Auschwitz, the death of his pregnant mother in the camps and his father’s impris- onment throughout World War II. He also lived as a scaven- ger on his own in the Krakow ghetto for much of the German occupation. During this period of his life, Polanski created an elaborate fantasy world in which he lived as a ¿lm star to offset the horrors surrounding him.

Polanski’s life and career in America were marred by two pivotal events: the 1969 slay- ing of his pregnant wife Sha- ron Tate by members of the Manson Family and Polans- ki’s own arrest for the statu- tory rape of a 13-year old girl. Acclaimed biographer Christopher Sandford draws on dozens of interviews with actors who have worked with Polanski, as well as previously sealed transcripts of his crim- inal hearings following accu- sations that lead to his exile. There are also personal reÀec- tions on the murders of Tate and other friends of the couple by Charles Manson, who was convicted on conspiracy to commit those murders. Sandford has published ac- claimed biographies of Kurt Cobain, Eric Clapton, Mick Jagger, Paul McCartney and Bruce Springsteen. He is a longtime ¿lm and music writ- er — 5olling Stone has called him “the pre-eminent author in his ¿eld today.” Sandford divides his time between En- gland and Seattle. The Seaside Public Library is located at 1131 Broadway.

Many people are expend- ed to attend, since Fee’s life touched many local residents and visitors over the years. There will be an opportunity for attendees to speak. Fee founded the Wildlife Center of the North Coast almost 20 years ago in a small, single-wide trailer on the center’s property in Olney. She began with only one or two volunteers and one or two birds. Her project grew into a facility that han- dles 2,000 to 3,000 animals a year, providing care for many injured or rehabilitat- ing seabirds, one of only a few in the county. She could not have done it without citizen support. The center receives no direct gov- ernment funding, other than a small grant it applies for from Cannon Beach. It depends largely on donations and vol- unteers
