After fleeing to Europe, Polanski continued directing. As a result, Polanski is a fugitive from the U.S. In 1978, upon learning that the judge planned to reject his plea deal and impose a prison term instead of probation, he fled to Paris.

He made Macbeth (1971) in England and Chinatown (1974) back in Hollywood. Polanski's life turned in 1969 when his pregnant wife, actress Sharon Tate, and four friends were brutally murdered by members of the Manson Family. In 1968, he moved to the United States and cemented his status by directing the horror film Rosemary's Baby (1968).
In the United Kingdom he directed three films, beginning with Repulsion (1965). Polanski's first feature-length film, Knife in the Water (1962), was made in Poland and was nominated for the United States Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film. After his mother and father were taken in raids, Polanski spent his formative years in foster homes under an adopted identity and survived the Holocaust. Two years later, the invasion of Poland by Nazi Germany started World War II, and the family found themselves trapped in the Kraków Ghetto. His Polish–Jewish parents moved the family from his birthplace in Paris back to Kraków in 1937.
