"If I was giving advice to younger people, I would tell them to not listen to anything--don't read what's written about you, don't listen to anybody--just focus on the work." --New York Daily News, October 22, 1995
Woody Allen has played New Orleans jazz clarinet with his group, the New Orleans Funeral and Ragtime Orchestra, almost every Monday at Michael's Pub in New York since 1971. He even went as far as skipping the 1978 Oscar awards so he didn't miss a Monday night set!
Woody Allen is infamous for all his wives and the scandals behind a few of them.
1st Wife: Harlene Rosen 1954-1960
2nd Wife: Louise Lasser -1964-1969
3rd Wife (common law): Diane Keaton - most of the 70's
4th Wife (common law): Mia Farrow 1980-1992

I find Woody Allen to be quite the interesting character. I must give him credit for his aging, he wears it oh so well. I also have to admit that unfortunatly I have only seen one Woody Allen movie as of yet. It was "Anything Else," with Jason Biggs and Christina Ricci. I have to say, despite the lack of advertising and the horrible reviews, it was one of the best movies I saw all year in the theatre and it definitaly got me wanting to rent all his movies and have a "Woody-A-Thon."
