Allen, Woody
Allen, Woody (1935– ) US film director, actor and screenwriter, b. Allen Stewart Konigsberg. Allen made his debut as an actor and screenwriter in
What's New Pussycat? (1965). His directorial debut was
Take the Money and Run (1969). During the 1970s, he established his trademark style of urbane, angst-ridden New York-based comedies. Allen won Academy Awards for Best Picture, Best Screenplay, and Best Director for
Annie Hall (1977). He gained an Oscar nomination for his first serious drama, the
Bergman-like
Interiors (1978). His next film,
Manhattan (1979), marked a return to the semi-autobiographical format.
Hannah and Her Sisters (1986) won Allen an Oscar for Best Screenplay. Other films include
Zelig (1983),
The Purple Rose of Cairo (1985),
Crimes and Misdemeanors (1989), and
Mighty Aphrodite (1996). His separation (1992) from Mia Farrow, his long-standing partner and co-star, was acrimonious and litigious.
