    Re: Peter Bogdanovich

    True Hairy, many artists have personal demons, but this was a 13 year old girl. not a ''young woman'' He was accused of plying her with drink and drugs, rape and sodomy. The fact he thought her mother wouldn't rat on him is not much of an excuse. If it was my daughter I'd hunt him down like a dog.

      Plenty of celebrities have had consensual sex with young women below an arbitrary age.
      When she's below the age of consent -- and drugged to boot -- it's not consensual. It's rape. That's the law.

      And I don't necessarily believe that "plenty of celebrities" are statutory rapists, but even if that's the case, I don't believe that makes it right.

      I try to separate the man's work from his crime and his decision to hide in another country rather than do his time for it -- especially when it comes to Chinatown, which I really like. But it's hard to forget what he did (and why he wouldn't come to the U.S. when he was nominated for an Oscar, and why he wouldn't even go to London for the recent civil suit he filed himself).

        Yeah, consensual probably wasn't the right word.

        Nevertheless, I prefer to seperate the public art from the private life.
