Woody Allen

Allen, 88, has a more than half-century career as a writer and director of influential classics such as “Annie Hall” (1977) and “Crimes and Misdemeanors” (1989). Affection for his movies has been overshadowed by allegations against him personally. In 1992, his daughter Dylan Farrow, then 7, said Allen had sexually assaulted her, months after he had begun a relationship with Soon-Yi Previn, the teenage daughter of Mia Farrow, his former partner and Dylan’s mother. (Previn is now Allen’s wife of 26 years.) His mainstream reputation remained largely intact until 2014, when Dylan Farrow, as an adult, reiterated her accusation. Past collaborators, including Kate Winslet, Mira Sorvino, Colin Firth and Greta Gerwig publicly expressed regret at having worked with Allen. (Still others, including Diane Keaton, who played Annie Hall, continued to defend him.)
