Love and support to actress Adèle Haenel, who came forward as a child victim of sexual abuse last year, for walking out of the room as convicted child rapist Roman Polanski won Best Director at #Cesar2020 . That's director Céline Sciamma, her ex-partner, following behind her.

RIP Sondra Locke an actress and director who you probably haven't heard of. Her directorial career was deliberately sabotaged by Clint Eastwood, her former partner who also abused her, and WB, the studio that was more invested in protecting his career over hers.
