Around 1980, Allen began a relationship with actress Mia Farrow, who had leading roles in most of his movies from 1982 to 1992. Farrow and Allen never married and kept separate homes.
They jointly adopted two children, Dylan Farrow (who changed her name to Eliza and later to Malone) and Moshe Farrow (known as Moses); they also had one biological child, Satchel Farrow (known as Ronan Seamus Farrow).
However, in a 2013 interview with Vanity Fair, Farrow stated that Ronan could “possibly” be the biological child of her first husband Frank Sinatra, with whom she claims to have “never really split up.”
Allen did not adopt any of Farrow’s other family, including Soon-Yi Farrow Previn (adopted daughter of Farrow and André Previn, now known as Soon-Yi Previn).
Thank you for staying objective and searching for the facts.
There are two types of decision makers:
Logical decision makers look at all the facts and weigh them into making the best decision under the circumstances
Emotional decision makers who first make a decision and then only can see the facts that support the decision they have already made. They are blind to facts contrary to their decision and will often attack the messenger who tries to present the facts to them.
Understanding this has allowed me to keep my sanity in this crazy world.....
I don't understand his appeal. His movies are way overrated and appeal to the hoity-toity types. His work is something I just don't patronize.
They don’t call him Woodie for nuthin...
I know she’s his producer but I never heard she funded him. Interesting. I just read an interview in a British paper where he said he gets the money from Europe.
Sadly you are right. Although there’s the following:
“In New York, there is no statute of limitations for prosecuting first-degree rape, first-degree criminal sexual act, or first-degree course of sexual conduct against a child (NY CPL § 30.10 (2) (a)). A person is generally guilty of the latter crime if he or she engages in at least two acts of sexual conduct with a child under age 13 over a period of at least three months (NY Penal Code § 130.75).”
I wonder how Mr. Cuomo and/or Mr. DiBlasio will handle this?
Could you elaborate on the adoptions? If they were not married, how does that work? Were they recognized by the state as domestic partners?
I think Barbara Sinatra might have something to say about her husband never splitting up with Mia. Mrs. Sinatra closed off all communication between Frank and his friends in the final years of his life. How do I know this? Because one of my dearest friends was a good friend of Frank. He simply could not even get Frank on the phone.
It is sad when a boy/man does this for attention, it is tragic when a girl feels the need to do it.
But if that’s his sexual orientation, who are we to judge?
As long as he uses the old “sexual orientation”, then he’s not responsible. That’s where we are.
And those naked photos of his adopted daughter/wife are also, "false memories"?
“He should retire for he will make no more movies—they will be booed off the screem like Fatty Arbuckle’s were after the death of Virginia Rappe.”
And no one remembers that Roscoe “Fatty” Arbuckle was found not guilty. With a formal written apology from the jury.
Here is the other side of the story:
The doctor who headed the Connecticut investigation into whether Woody Allen molested his 7-year-old daughter, Dylan, theorized that the child either invented the story under the stress of living in a volatile and unhealthy home or that it was planted in her mind by her mother, Mia Farrow, a sworn statement released yesterday says.
Dr. John M. Leventhal, who interviewed Dylan nine times, said that one reason he doubted her story was that she changed important points from one interview to another, like whether Mr. Allen touched her vagina. Another reason, he said, was that the child’s accounts had “a rehearsed quality.” At one point, he said she told him, “I like to cheat on my stories.”
Dr. Leventhal said: “We had two hypotheses: one, that these were statements that were made by an emotionally disturbed child and then became fixed in her mind. And the other hypothesis was that she was coached or influenced by her mother. We did not come to a firm conclusion. We think that it was probably a combination.”
Dr. Leventhal’s remarks were part of a sworn statement made on April 20 and entered into evidence in Mr. Allen’s lawsuit to gain custody of Dylan and the couple’s two other children. A transcript of the statement was made public yesterday, after editing by both sides to remove some of the most sensitive material.
The custody trial will conclude this week, with closing arguments beginning today.
Dr. Leventhal headed the hospital team that was asked by the Connecticut State Police to investigate the claim that Mr. Allen molested Dylan last August at Miss Farrow’s summer home in Connecticut. The team told Mr. Allen and Miss Farrow on March 18 that it had concluded that Dylan was not molested, but the transcript gives the first look at the thinking behind that finding.
Dylan’s statements in interviews at the hospital contradicted each other and the story she told on a videotape made by Miss Farrow, Dr. Leventhal said. “Those were not minor inconsistencies,” he said. “She told us initially that she hadn’t been touched in the vaginal area, and she then told us that she had, then she told us that she hadn’t.” ‘Intense Relationship’
The doctor suggested a connection between Miss Farrow’s outrage over Mr. Allen’s affair with her adopted daughter, Soon-Yi Farrow Previn, and the accusation made by Dylan, who he said was unusually protective of her mother.
Dr. Leventhal said it was “very striking” that each time Dylan spoke of the abuse, she coupled it with “one, her father’s relationship with Soon-Yi, and two, the fact that it was her poor mother, her poor mother,” who had lost a career in Mr. Allen’s films.
He also said it was possible that Miss Farrow encouraged her child to fabricate simply by videotaping her telling the story, because Dylan liked to perform.
There are always people willing to immediately excuse pedophilia. If your thought is that it is inconceivable that Woody Allen would molest one of his kids, look at his wife.
“There are always people willing to immediately excuse pedophilia. If your thought is that it is inconceivable that Woody Allen would molest one of his kids, look at his wife.”
Man there are some sick and twisted people on this thread, they seem to see pedophiles behind every bush and just sooo want it to be true that they’ll ignore any and all evidence to the contrary and try like heck to connect unrelated facts so disconnected with reality that it boggles the mind. By all accounts Woody married someone of legal age although much younger than he. How this makes him a pedophile I’m not sure but I guess the outrage by those that don’t have the option of snagging someone half or a third of their age makes them go crazy.
i’d like to hear him narrate THAT story.
Funny. The Morgan Freeman story is not a secret she attends all the awards with him.
Those make excellent tie-down points during heavy winds. ;-)
He married his daughter.
