Movie star due to collect award in LA on the run after escape from custody

It has been revealed that a teenage movie star due to travel to Los Angeles later this month to receive a special acting award is currently being sought by police after she escaped from a youth detention center. According to the Zycie daily, 16-year-old Aleksandra Gietner, star of the hit movie "Hi Tereska", ran away from the center in Falenica in the Warsaw suburbs two weeks ago. This was the latest in a series of escapes by the girl, who had been detained for her involvement in a number of robberies. She managed to escape through a window in the local health clinic in nearby Wawer, where she had been taken after pretending to be ill. Gietner was due for release in six months' time, and had been given special permission to attend the awards ceremony in Los Angeles. (Zycie, pp. 1, 5) P.W.
