What’s your favorite Woody Allen movie? Before you answer, you should know: when I was seven years old, Woody Allen took me by the hand and led me into a dim, closet-like attic on the second floor of our house.

This stuff is old news...he was investigated and exonerated of these accusations a long time ago.
His name is Moses Previn, I believe, not Farrow.
Accusation is not guilt. There is simply no proof for these accusations. The authorities found the story full of holes back then and chose not to bring charges. There IS proof that Mia Farrow has been throwing everything but the kitchen sink at Allen and hoping something will stick.
Shirley McClaine. Her daughter has written a tell-all on cheap, sexually weird mom. It’ll blow your head off - just look at the reviews if you don’t want to go the whole way.
He was adopted by Allen and Farrow, not Previn. He goes by the last name of Farrow.
You’re right, I think. Unfortunately, with Ms. Farrow, she has a truly bad habit of changing her children’s names. I always found that weird. Is Moses the Chinese kid? I thought he was. May have him confused with another kid.
Thanks antceecee.
I appreciate the mention.
I found nothing saying that he said Mia Farrow brainwashed her children to lie about this. That doesn't mean he did not say it.
I did find articles when he spoke out at the time of the controversy supporting Mia Farrow and Dylan and attacking Woody Allen.

There have been witnesses who spoke of Woody Allen's inappropriate behavior towards Dylan. Dylan's recent letter is consistent with these accounts.
The ironic thing is that most of Woody Allen's best films were the ones he made with Mia Farrow. Broadway Danny Rose, The Purple Rose of Cairo, Hannah and her Sisters, Radio Days, Crimes and Misdemeanors, Husbands and Wives, etc. And other than Rosemary's Baby, which was directed by Roman Polanski, they were Mia Farrow's best films. The same Roman Polanski convicted of drugging and raping a 13 year old girl. The same Roman Polanski who Mia Farrow has defended.
I always liked Woody Allen's films. I remember seeing Annie Hall with my girlfriend of the time and us recounting scene after scene laughing when it was over. I have seen Midnight in Paris several times on cable and like the photography at the beginning and the references.
I don't pretend to know with certainty what happened. But the evidence suggests that Dylan is telling the truth.
My biggest problem with Farrow is that she has supported and continues to support Roman Polanski. I guess in her eyes it’s OK to molest some children but not hers.
Here it the article that contains the info about Moses.
The second article is about the Nanny who was in the home at the time of the alleged molestation. She claims it couldn’t have happened and that Moses backed up her claim.

It ain't pretty and might explain bot of their downward spirals. For a while it looked like Feldman was getting his life back together. I wish him the best.
I stopped watching anything he did when it was announced he was marrying his adopted daughter that he had known since she was like 3 yo. predator behavior.
He is an active member of my do not watch list, some others are Mark Whalburg, Woopie Goldman, Sean Penn, Susan Sharadon, her husband, to name a couple..
He married his adopted daughter that he and Mia had since she w.as like 3 yo, that is predator behavior, I believe Dylan
It is a very powerful piece.
I don’t care if evil people are good artists. Evil trumps their creativity.
Um. Kind of insensitive of you to use a pro woody Allen cartoon to beg for money, on a thread about how woody Allen raped a seven year old girl. Doesn’t make me feel like donating. Shame.
Mia Farrow might be a leftist, she might be a nut. But MORALITY and decency to innocent children is more important in this issue. Her children love her; she appears to be a responsible and loving and moral mom.
Don’t muddy the waters criticizing her politics or personality because it looks like you are siding with someone who would abuse a little girl sexually.
Yes, I admire her bravery, calling them out. I was really shocked at the loving words Diane Keaton had for him. It was making me ill at the time.
Yeah, you go with that. Holy crap, picking apart a seven year old’s testimony from the 90s when she clearly today explains the abuse. Going with some stupid doctor over the little girl and the woman she has become.
At the time, outsiders SAW that in front of all, he was actively wooing his little daughter, ignoring Mia and satchel (his name back then) and treating his tiny girl as a GIRLFRIEND, always entwining with her, buying her trinkets, just very inappropriate. And everyone knew they went to the attic - to play trains - AND NOW SHE ADMITS WHAT WENT ON IN THERE - but you go with a hired hack doc from the 90s. Ignore the fact that he TOOK NAKED PHOTOS OF HIS 19 year old STEPDAUGHTER and left them on his mantel in his living room. and then married her. Clear boundary violations.
You are like all the family members who don’t believe the innocent victims of child abuse.
Sick sick sick.
Victims of molestation often don’t deal with what happened until adulthood. Also, her molester is being given accolades and major awards. How sad is that for her? How much of a denial of her reality is that? And her brother Ronan has come out very loudly tweeting his disgust of his “father” over his sister’s molestation. Plus her new adulthood - all this gives her the courage to do this brave thing.
And you sickeningly think she comes forward because she needs money (which, besides being evil, in patently untrue). Sometimes I think freepers cloak themselves in Polyester Morality but are not very moral deep down.
Oh no! Woody has daughters?? Oh my, I didn’t know he and soon yi adopted and of all things, GIRLS. That is scary.
Er...who said I’m siding with Woody? And get off your high horse at the same time. If you can’t read my posts properly than don’t bother to write me.
