Polanski, Roman
He's controversial I know. And the two of them met and became a couple when she was 15 on the set of Tess.
Rosemary's Baby is one of my favorite films and I thought that he did a very good job of acting in the tenant. And yes he is a total Criminal, creep, and perv. He's not allowed in United States, is alternately bitter and unconcerned about his band from coming back to the United States or else getting jailed ... but (non-sequitur) he occasionally answers a well-written fan letter.
I met Nastassja at the Hollywood collector show in Burbank in 2012. She was standing at her table, calm, and interacting directly with me. Her first comment was that she loved the color of my skin and eyes and my fresh tan, which kind of caught me off guard, being complimented on my appearance by such a beauty. Of course that was when I was still in the habit of regularly damaging my skin! Awareness of sunscreen didn't hit me until at least 2 years later, moving in on 50.
Her handler said please don't ask her to sign any nudes, I did have a few in my collection which I thought were tasteful, but she politely shook her head no. It wasn't until later that I realized I'm not even sure how old she was in those photos! My thought at the time was that she was just trying to prevent resale of the most salacious items. She was actually quite serene and compelling.
One of my most connected and pleasant celebrity interactions.
