Everything about Woody Allen totally explained
Woody Allen (born
Allan Stewart Konigsberg;
December 1,
1935) is a three-time
Academy Award-winning
American film director,
writer,
actor,
jazz musician,
comedian and
playwright.
Allen's distinctive films, which run the gamut from intense dramas to screwball sex comedies, have made him one of the most respected living American directors. He is also distinguished by his rapid rate of production and his very large body of work. Allen writes and directs his movies and has also acted in the majority of them. For inspiration, Allen draws heavily on
literature,
sexuality,
philosophy,
psychology,
Jewish identity,
European cinema, and
New York City, where he was born and has lived his entire life.
Early years
Allen was born and raised in
New York City, the son of Nettie (
née Cherrie;
November 8,
1906 -
January 27,
2002), a bookkeeper at her family's delicatessen, and Martin Konigsberg (
December 25,
1900 -
January 13,
2001), a jewelry engraver and waiter. His family was
Jewish and his grandparents were
Yiddish- and
German-speaking immigrants. His parents were both born and raised on the
Lower East Side of
Manhattan. His childhood, while middle-class, wasn't particularly happy. His parents didn't get along, and he'd a rocky relationship with his stern, temperamental mother. Allen spoke Yiddish during his early years and, after attending
Hebrew school for eight years, went to Public School 99 and to
Midwood High School. During that time, he lived in an apartment at 1402 Avenue K, between East 14th and 15th Streets. He was Nicknamed "Red" because of his red hair; he impressed students with his extraordinary talent at card and magic tricks. Though in his films and his comedy
persona he's often depicted himself as physically inept and socially unpopular, in fact Woody Allen was a popular student, and an adept baseball and basketball player.
To raise money he began writing
gags for the agent
David O. Alber, who sold them to newspaper columnists. According to Allen, his first published joke "was in a gossip column. It read: 'Woody Allen says he ate at a restaurant that had O.P.S. prices—over people's salaries.'"
At sixteen, he was discovered by
Milt Kamen, who got him his first writing job with
Sid Caesar. He began calling himself Woody Allen. He was a gifted comedian from an early age and would later joke that when he was young he was sent to inter-faith summer camp, where he "was savagely beaten by children of all races and creeds". He later briefly attended
City College of New York.
Comedy writer and playwright
After his false starts at NYU and City College, he became a full-time writer for
Herb Shriner, earning $75/week at first. By the time he was working for
Sid Caesar, he was making $1500/week; with Caesar he worked alongside
Danny Simon, whom Allen credits for helping him to structure his writing style.
In 1961, he started a new career as a
stand-up comedian, debuting in a
Greenwich Village club called the Duplex.
However, by the mid-1980s, Allen had begun to combine tragic and comic elements with the release of such films as
Hannah and Her Sisters (winner of three
Academy Awards) starring British actor
Michael Caine, and
Crimes and Misdemeanors, in which he tells two different stories that connect at the end. He also produced a vividly idiosyncratic tragi-comical parody of documentary, titled
Zelig.
He also made three films about show business. The first movie is
Broadway Danny Rose, in which he plays a New York manager; then,
The Purple Rose of Cairo, a movie that shows the importance of the cinema during the Depression through the character of the naive Cecilia. Lastly, Allen made
Radio Days, which is a film about his childhood in Brooklyn, and the importance of the radio.
Purple Rose was named by
Time Magazine as one of the 100 best films of all time, and Allen has described it as one of his three best films, along with
Stardust Memories and
Match Point. (It is worth noting that Allen defines them as "best" not in terms of quality, but because they came out the closest to his original vision.)
Before the end of the eighties he made other movies that were strongly inspired by
Ingmar Bergman's films.
September is a remake of
Autumn Sonata, and Allen uses many elements from
Persona in
Another Woman.
1990s
In 1991, he was assigned by Disney LegoMation director Michael Fowler to play the voice of Mario, the picky, black-colored gerbil in "Gerbnacious G and the Gerbil of Destiny" from Touchstone Pictures, which was based on the book by Barbra Park, before she was author of the "Junie B. Jones" children's book series.
His 1992 film
Shadows and Fog (1992) is a black and white homage to
German expressionists and features the music of
Kurt Weill. Allen then made his critically acclaimed drama
Husbands and Wives (1992) which received two Oscar nominations; Best Supporting Actress for
Judy Davis and Best Original Screenplay for Allen. His film
Manhattan Murder Mystery (1993) combined suspense with dark comedy, and starred
Diane Keaton,
Alan Alda and
Anjelica Huston.
In the late 1990s he returned to lighter movies, such as
Bullets Over Broadway (1994), which earned him an Academy Award nomination for Best Director followed by a musical
Everyone Says I Love You (1996): Allen's first and only to date. The singing and dancing scenes in
Everyone Says I Love You are similar to the musical starring
Fred Astaire and
Ginger Rogers, but the plot is comical. The comedy
Mighty Aphrodite (1995), in which the Greek and Roman tragedies play a large role, won an
Academy Award for
Mira Sorvino. Allen's 1999 jazz
mockumentary Sweet and Lowdown was also nominated for two Academy Awards for
Sean Penn (Best Actor) and
Samantha Morton (Best Supporting Actress). In contrast to these lighter movies, Allen veered scathingly dark and satirical towards the end of the 1990s with
Deconstructing Harry (1997) and
Celebrity (1998).
Allen made his only
sitcom "appearance" via telephone in the 1997 episode, "My Dinner with Woody" of the show
Just Shoot Me!, an episode paying tribute to several of his films.
2000s
Small Time Crooks (2000) was his first film with
DreamWorks SKG studio and represented a change in direction: Allen began giving more interviews and made an apparent return to his strictly comedy roots.
Small Time Crooks was a relative success, grossing over $17 million domestically, but Allen's next 4 films floundered at the box office, including Allen's most expensive film to date,
The Curse of the Jade Scorpion (with a budget of $33 million).
Hollywood Ending,
Anything Else, and
Melinda and Melinda were given "rotten" ratings from film-review website
Rotten Tomatoes and each earned less than $5 million domestically. Most critics agreed that Allen's films since 1999's
Sweet and Lowdown were subpar, and some critics expressed concern that Allen's best years were now behind him.
Woody gave his godson, Quincy Rose a small part in Melinda & Melinda.
Match Point (2005) was one of Allen's most successful films in the past ten years and generally received very positive reviews. Set in
London, it starred
Jonathan Rhys-Meyers and
Scarlett Johansson. It is also markedly darker than Allen's first four films under the DreamWorks SKG banner. In
Match Point Allen shifts his focus from the intellectual upper class of New York to the moneyed upper class of London. While different from Allen's many critical satires,
Match Point still has undertones of social critique. This is clearest in the theme of luck which works on several levels in the film.
Match Point earned more than $23 million domestically (more than any of his films in nearly 20 years) and earned over $62 million in international box office sales.
Match Point earned Allen his first Academy Award nomination since 1998 for Best Writing, Original Screenplay and also earned directing and writing nominations at the Golden Globes, his first Globe nominations since 1987. In an interview with
Premiere Magazine, Allen stated this was the best film he's ever made.
Allen returned to London to film
Scoop, which also starred Johansson, as well as
Hugh Jackman,
Ian McShane,
Kevin McNally. The film was released on July 28, 2006, and received mixed reviews. He has also filmed
Cassandra's Dream in London.
Cassandra's Dream stars
Colin Farrell,
Ewan McGregor, and
Tom Wilkinson and was released in November 2007.
After finishing his third London film, Allen headed to
Spain. He reached an agreement to film his current project,
Vicky Cristina Barcelona, in
Avilés,
Barcelona and
Oviedo, where shooting started on July 9 2007. The movie will star international and Spanish actors and actresses, including
Scarlett Johansson,
Javier Bardem,
Patricia Clarkson, and
Penélope Cruz.
Allen has said that he "survives" on the European market. Audiences there have tended to be more receptive to Allen's films, particularly
France, a country where he's a large fan base (something joked about in
Hollywood Ending). "In the United States things have changed a lot, and it's hard to make good small films now," Allen said in a 2004 interview. "The avaricious studios couldn't care less about good films – if they get a good film they're twice as happy, but money-making films are their goal. They only want these $100 million pictures that make $500
million".
He will be directing a movie this April, back in New York City, reportedly a comedy focused more on the "older" age group.
Larry David,
Emma Thompson and
Evan Rachel Wood are set to star.
"Woody Allen" character
Allen continues to write roles for the neurotic persona he created in the 1960s and 1970s; however, as he gets older, the roles have been assumed by other actors such as
John Cusack (
Bullets Over Broadway),
Kenneth Branagh (
Celebrity),
Jason Biggs (
Anything Else), and
Will Ferrell (
Melinda and Melinda).
Awards, nominations and distinctions
Over the course of his career Allen has received a considerable number of in
film festivals and yearly national film awards ceremonies, saluting his work as a director, screenwriter and actor. When premiering his films at festivals, Allen doesn't screen his motion pictures in competition, thus deliberately taking them out of consideration for potential awards.
- Allen's film Annie Hall won four Academy Awards in 1977, including best picture.
- Allen won the 1978 O. Henry Award for his short story "The Kugelmass Episode" published in The New Yorker on May 2, 1977.
- Allen twice won the César Award for Best Foreign Film, the first in 1980 for Manhattan and the second in 1986 for The Purple Rose of Cairo. Seven other of his movies were nominated for the prize.
- In 1986, Allen won the Golden Globe for Best Screenplay for The Purple Rose of Cairo. He was also nominated four times as Best Director, four times for Best Screenplay and twice for Best Actor (Comedy/musical).
- At the 1995 Venice Film Festival, Allen received a Career Golden Lion for lifetime achievement.
- In 1996, Allen received a lifetime achievement award from the Directors Guild of America.
- In 2002 Allen won the Prince of Asturias Award. Subsequently, the city of Oviedo, Spain erected a life-size statue of Allen.
- In 2002, Allen received the Palme des Palmes, a special lifetime achievement award granted by the Cannes Festival and whose sole other recipient is Ingmar Bergman.
- In a 2005 poll The Comedian's Comedian, Allen was voted the third greatest comedy act ever by fellow comedians and comedy insiders.
- In June 2007 Allen received a PhD Honoris Causa from Pompeu Fabra University (Barcelona, Spain).
Academy Awards
Woody Allen has won three Academy Awards and been nominated a total of 21 times: fourteen as a screenwriter, six as a director, and one as an actor. He has more screenwriting Academy Award nominations than any other writer; all are in the "Best Original Screenplay" category. He is tied for fifth all-time with six Best Director nominations. His actors have regularly received both nominations and Academy Awards for their work in Allen films, particularly in the Best Supporting categories.
Annie Hall won four Academy Awards (Best Picture, Best Screenplay, Best Director and Best Actress). The film received a fifth nomination, for Allen as Best Actor.
Hannah and Her Sisters won three, for Best Screenplay and both Best Supporting Actor categories; it was nominated in four other categories, including Best Picture and Best Director.
Despite friendly recognition from the Academy, Allen has consistently refused to attend the ceremony or acknowledge his Oscar wins. He broke this rule twice. At the 2002 Oscars Allen made an unannounced appearance, making a plea for producers to continue filming their movies in
New York City after the
9-11 attacks. He was given a standing ovation before introducing a montage of movie clips featuring
New York. The second time was at the 2007 Oscars.

Title sequences
Virtually all of Allen's films since Annie Hall begin with the same style of title sequence, incorporating a series of black and white title cards in a vintage font (most often Windsor) reminiscent of silent era films, set to a selection of jazz music that occasionally figures prominently later in the film's story (for example, Radio Days). Additionally, the cast is placed on one such title card and listed in alphabetical order, and not in the order of the relative "star power" of the actors at the time in which the film was made. This too, is reminiscent of silent era films. There is one minor variation in Deconstructing Harry, where the titles are weaved in with a looped shot. Another exception to this is Manhattan, which opens with a series of black and white still shots of the city set to Gershwin's "Rhapsody In Blue"; the film's title comes after the opening narration is over.
Theater
Although best known for his films, Allen has also enjoyed a very successful career in theater. Starting as early as 1960 when Allen was writing sketches for the revue From A to Z. His first great success was Don't Drink the Water which opened in 1968 and ran for 598 performances for almost two years on Broadway. His success continued with Play it Again, Sam which opened in 1969, starring Allen and Diane Keaton. The show played for 453 performances and was nominated for three Tony Awards, although none of the nominations were for Allen's writing or acting.
In the 70s, Allen wrote a number of one-act plays, most notably God and Death which were published in his 1975 collection Without Feathers.
In 1981 Allen's play The Floating Light Bulb opened on Broadway. The play was a critical success but a commercial flop. Despite two Tony Award nominations, a Tony win for Brian Backer's acting (who also won the 1981 Theatre World Award and a Drama Desk Award for his work) the play only ran 62 performances. As of January 2008, it's the last Allen work that ran on Broadway.
After a long hiatus from the stage Allen returned to the theater in 1995 with the one-act Central Park West, an installment in an evening of theater known as Death Defying Acts that was also made up of new work by David Mamet and Elaine May .
For the next couple of years, Allen had no direct involvement with the stage, yet notable productions of his work were being staged. A production of God was staged at the The Bank of Brazil Cultural Center in Rio de Janeiro, theatrical adaptations of Allen's films Bullets over Broadway and September were produced in Italy and France, respectably, without Allen's involvement. In 1997 rumors of Allen returning to the theater to write a starring role for his wife Soon-Yi Previn turned out to be false.
In 2003, Allen finally returned to the stage with Writer's Block, an evening of two one-acts: Old Saybrook and Riverside Drive, that played off-Broadway. The production marked the stage directing debut for Allen. The production sold out its entire run.
Also that year, reports of Allen writing the book for a musical based on Bullets over Broadway surfaces, but no show ever formulated. In 2004 Allen's first full-length play since 1981, A Second Hand Memory. The production was directed by Allen and enjoyed an extended run off-Broadway.
In June 2007 it was announced that Allen would make two more creative debuts in the theater, directing a work that he didn't write and directing an opera. Allen will direct Giacomo Puccini's Gianni Schicchi, which is a one-act opera in Puccini's Trittico trilogy. The production goes up at the Los Angeles Opera in September 2008.
Relationships
Harlene Rosen
At age 19, Allen married 16-year-old Harlene Rosen.
Mia Farrow
Starting around 1980, Allen began a 12-year relationship with actress Mia Farrow, who had leading roles in several of his movies from 1982 to 1992. Farrow and Allen never married, but they adopted two children together: Dylan Farrow (who changed her name to Eliza and is now known as Malone) and Moses Farrow (now known as Misha); and had one biological child, Satchel Farrow (now known as Ronan Seamus Farrow). Allen didn't adopt any of Farrow's other biological and adopted children, including Soon-Yi Farrow Previn (the adopted daughter of Farrow and Andre Previn, now known as Soon-Yi Previn). Allen and Farrow separated in 1992 after Farrow discovered nude photographs Allen had taken of Soon-Yi. In her autobiography, What Falls Away (New York: Doubleday, 1997), Farrow says Allen admitted to a relationship with Soon-Yi.
After Allen and Farrow separated, a long public legal battle for the custody of their three children began. During the proceedings, Farrow alleged that Allen had sexually molested their adopted daughter Malone, who was then seven years old. The judge eventually concluded that the sex abuse charges were inconclusive, but called Allen's conduct with Malone "grossly inappropriate". She called the report of the team that investigated the issue "sanitized and, therefore, less credible" and said she'd "reservations about the reliability of the report." She also called Allen's conduct with Soon-Yi "inappropriate." Farrow ultimately won the custody battle over their children. Allen was denied visitation rights with Malone and could only see Ronan under supervision. Misha, who was then 14, chose not to see his father.
In a 2005 Vanity Fair interview, Allen estimated that, despite the scandal's damage to his reputation, Farrow's discovery of Allen's attraction to Soon-Yi Previn, by accidentally finding nude photographs of her, was "just one of the fortuitous events, one of the great pieces of luck in my life. [...] It was a turning point for the better." Of his relationship with Farrow, he said "I'm sure there are things that I might have done differently. [...] Probably in retrospect I should have bowed out of that relationship much earlier than I did."
Soon-Yi Previn
Shortly after separating from Farrow in 1992, Allen openly continued his relationship with Soon-Yi Previn, Farrow's adopted daughter. Even though Allen and Previn denied he was ever her stepfather, the relationship drew much public and media scrutiny. At the time, Allen was 56 and Previn was 22.
Allen and Previn married in 1997. The couple later adopted two daughters, naming them Bechet and Manzie after jazz musicians Sidney Bechet and Manzie Johnson.
Clarinet hobby
Allen is a passionate fan of jazz which is often featured prominently in his movies' soundtracks. He has played the clarinet since adolescence and chose his stage name from an idol, famed clarinetist Woody Herman. He has performed publicly at least since the late-1960s, notably with the Preservation Hall Jazz Band on the soundtrack of Sleeper. One of his earliest televised performances was on The Dick Cavett Show on October 20, 1971.
Woody Allen and his New Orleans Jazz Band play every Monday evening at Manhattan's Carlyle Hotel, specializing in classic New Orleans jazz from the early twentieth century. The documentary film Wild Man Blues (directed by Barbara Kopple) documents a 1996 European tour by Allen and his band, as well as his relationship with Previn. The band has released two CDs: The Bunk Project (1993) and the soundtrack of Wild Man Blues (1997).
Work about or inspired by Woody Allen
Apart from Wild Man Blues directed by Barbara Kopple, there are a number of other documentaries featuring Woody Allen, including: the 2002 cable-television documentary Woody Allen: a Life in Film, directed by Time Magazine film critic Richard Schickel, which interlaces interviews of Allen with clips of his films; and Meetin' WA, a short interview of Allen by French director Jean-Luc Godard.
Waiting for Woody Allen is a 2004 short film parody of Samuel Beckett's Waiting for Godot. From 1976 to 1984, Stuart Hample wrote and drew Inside Woody Allen, a comic strip based on Allen's film persona. Central Park West Stories, (Baldini Castoldi Dalai publisher, 2005) by Glauco Della Sciucca (Italian contributor to Columbia Journalism Review, The New Yorker, The Jewish Week, since September 2003) are inspired by Allen. "Death of an Interior Decorator" is a song on Death Cab for Cutie's album Transatlanticism that was inspired by Woody Allen's Interiors. In Love Creeps, a novel by Amanda Filipacchi, a group of birders in Central Park spot Woody Allen and Soon-Yi stepping out onto their balcony and get very excited, which torments a nearby group of recovering stalkers from Stalkaholics Anonymous, causing one of them to suddenly lose his sobriety by grabbing the binoculars from around the neck of a birder to stare at Woody Allen and Soon-Yi.
The character George Costanza, from the sitcom Seinfeld, was originally performed as a caricature of Woody Allen, according to Jason Alexander. In one episode of Seinfeld, Cosmo Kramer talks about being a cast member of Allen's movie project and his famous oneliner "These pretzels are making me thirsty".
In 2003 Keith Black wrote, directed and starred in the award winning film Get the Script to Woody Allen. The feature was about a neurotic young man who is obsessed with getting his script to Woody.
The independent 2008 movie Mancattan written and directed by Phil Drinkwater and Colin Warhurst charts the story of the two directors, playing fictional versions of themselves, flying over to New York from their native Manchester in order to make a documentary about Woody Allen. The film within a film is set against the backdrop of a bittersweet romantic comedy as the film cuts between events in Manhattan and flashbacks of Manchester.
Psychoanalysis
Allen spent at least 30 years undergoing psychoanalysis, sometimes going three days a week. Many of his films contain a psychoanalysis scene. Even the film Antz, a cartoon where he only voices Z, the lead character, begins with a classic piece of Allen analysis schtick.
Moment Magazine says "it drove his self-absorbed work." John Baxter, author of Woody Allen - A Biography, wrote: "Like Catholic confession, Allen's form of analysis let the penitent go free to sin again," and that "Allen obviously found analysis stimulating, even exciting."
Allen says he ended his psychotherapy visits around the time he began his relationship with Previn. He says he still is claustrophobic and agoraphobic.[
