A woman who says she was just 16 when she became Woody Allen's mistress in the 1970s is speaking out. Babi Christina Engelhardt, who says she was a teen model when she met the famed director in 1976, opened up to The Hollywood Reporter about her alleged eight-year affair with the "Annie Hall" filmmaker.
Engelhardt, who now goes by Christina Engelhardt, told THR that she met Allen at the restaurant and celebrity hotspot Elaine's and gave him her phone number. She said soon, Allen, who was 41 at the time, called her and invited her to his Fifth Avenue penthouse apartment. Engelhardt said Allen never asked her how old she was, but she told him she was still in high school. Engelhardt told THR that she and Allen became physically intimate at his apartment within weeks, months before she turned 17, which is the legal age of consent in New York

“If you watched Manhattan, duh. If you watch some of his movies, you wonder has this guy done something worse like murder.”
Good lord, I sure HOPE he hasn’t done anything worse than his movies.
My co-workers and I sent equipt. to the Contras.
Yep..and Allen a 41 “adult” male was powerless to say, thanks but no thanks...?
He did go to West Point but not for too long. He could still claim to be a West Point alum because that term should apply to all former students and not just those who get a degree or a commission. Leary got a degree from Alabama. He became acquainted with JFK’s mistress, Mary Meyer, during his LSD pioneer days. She became an LSD pioneer as well.
Yet Halston grew up in Des Moines.
Sicko.
Ew.
I mean, the man is a disgusting ugly thing, as it is.
Guilty!
Yes, it’s a bit late to complain.
I still say, eeewwwwww, though.
Uuuugggly.
First, I don’t believe it. The 16 year old part is simply her way of getting in the press. If they waited 2.8 years they would have waited 3. I don’t doubt that she dated Woody. I don’t know one way or the other. But this is not a story if they had sex 3 months later. And I would guess that nobody wants the story if she can’t say that she was raped, or she was offered a part for sex, or she was under the age of consent. So she just changed the facts to make one of those things fit.
Hehehe.
He stinks all around. Boring, stupid movies.
Not to mention... Tim Cook, the most powerful perv in the world.
Where are you getting those numbers?
“became physically intimate at his apartment within weeks, months before she turned 17,”
and ugly is one hell of an understatement
GUILTY AS HELL
These fool men on here can do it, we can do it too. Notice no mention of HIS looks. But a woman? Oh they harang on that immediately and incessantly.
It was clear from that movie with the underaged Hemingway girl that he was INTO YOUNG GIRLS and wanted us to kind of know, and it is no surprise that he got off on going younger with his own little girl. He has no morals or boundaries. But this girl says she engaged in threesomes as underage, with woody AND MIA so she is not coming off so good here either.
And recently (ok, 15 years ago) Woody all but invited this woman back for a threesome with Soon Yi.
My molester also went younger and younger and was eventually caught with preschoolers. Don’t say that 13-15 is ok. Men who love messing with young girls don’t always stick to post-puberty!
Yup. Women think they can be willing participants, and even the initiators, and then later walk away scot free of blame and blame the guy.
Yeah, that was the movie I was thinking of. He probably “raped” Hemingway too.
Dude, it is not ok to use that kind of adult power over young pubescent girls. Sorry. Even if they are willing. They don’t understand the world. They can be seduced almost easier than a 9 year old.
He didn’t get the nickname Woody for nothin’
“Timothy Leary went to West Point.”
Wiki has him at:
Alabama 1945
Washington State 1946
UC Berkeley 1950

“In Woody Allen’s 1979 comedy Manhattan, the filmmaker, then 44, dated a 17-year-old character played by Mariel Hemingway. The part earned Hemingway an Oscar nomination, and, according to the actress in a forthcoming memoir, also the unwanted romantic attention of Allen.
“In Out Came the Sun, which will be released on April 7, Hemingway claims that Allen attempted to lure her to Paris once she turned 18—two years after she had filmed Manhattan. “Our relationship was platonic, but I started to see that he had a kind of crush on me, though I dismissed it as the kind of thing that seemed to happen any time middle-aged men got around young women,” writes Hemingway. The actress suggests that Allen attempted to act upon the crush by flying to her parents’ home in Idaho and inviting the teen to Europe....”
