Few figures in Hollywood’s history have been as acclaimed and controversial as director Roman Polanski, whose legendary films would stand out if not for the fact that they’re often eclipsed by the turbulent life he’s led. The son of Polish parents, Polanski survived World War II despite having both parents transferred to concentration camps during the Holocaust, but his mother was killed at Auschwitz. Despite the terrible ordeal and the loss of his mother, Polanski would grow up to become one of Europe’s best directors, and over the course of a career spanning about 50 years, his films have been nominated for too many awards to count.
