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.
He later attended Lodz Na-
tional Film School and began
attracting attention for voy-

eurism, sexual tension and la-
tent violence, themes that ran
through his ¿lms “5osemary’s
Baby” (1968) and “China-
town” (1974).
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.

attend from 3 to 5 p.m. Satur-
day, Oct. 10 at the Warrenton
Community Center.
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
