MIA FARROW AND HER DAUGHTER STAND UNITED

Mia Farrow turned up at a New York event with her pregnant daughter Dylan Farrow, 30. (Dylan is expecting a girl) You may recall that Dylan wrote an open letter to the New York Times two years ago rebuking the film industry for ignoring child abuse claims against her mother’s ex-boyfriend Woody Allen. She insists that Woody sexually assaulted her when she was 7, but he was investigated and not charged. Her brother Moses, now 38, defended Woody and stated that Mia poisoned her children’s minds and implanted memories of abuse. Dylan has been living happily in Florida under another name.

Elaine May Miley Cyrus Series Woody Allen

IT’S WOODY ALLEN’S FIRST TV SERIES AND HE’S TERRIFIED

Say what you will about Woody Allen, he’s a brilliant writer and filmmaker and at the age of 80 is not slowing down. He made a deal with Amazon to create his first series and last year he was fretting that it was a “catastrophic mistake.” But things appear to be coming together – he cast Miley Cyrus as one character and it could be a huge career break for her. Above, Woody and comic actress Elaine May, 83, are filming a scene for the untitled project set in the 1960’s, and it makes one wonder if HIS character will be paired with an age appropriate woman for a change.

Accident Woody Allen

WOODY ALLEN’S CLOSE CALL

Later in Malibu, while Woody Allen was directing Jesse Eisenberg and Kristen Stewart on the beach, he slipped on some rocks and took a tumble. Coworkers panicked and helped him up – he seemed to be ok and continued to work. Woody appears to be an inspired workaholic and he writes and directs one movie after another.

Bruce Willis Jesse Eisenberg Kristen Stewart Woody Allen

JESSE EISENBERG AND KRISTEN STEWART AS YOU’VE NEVER SEEN THEM BEFORE

Just looking at this photo of Jesse Eisenberg and Kristen Stewart filming Woody Allen’s new untitled movie makes us anxious to see the finished product! It appears to be a period movie (late 40’s early 50’s?) and we’ve never seen angst-ridden millennials Jesse and Kristen play anyone but themselves. And the idea of them as a couple is also intriguing. Bruce Willis suddenly either quit or was fired from this movie. Do you suppose Bruce and Woody didn’t get along? Bruce can be rather bossy…

Irrational Man Woody Allen

WOODY ALLEN DOESN’T SWEAT THE SMALL STUFF

Soon-Yi Previn is in New York and looks a little annoyed that her car service hasn’t appeared, but her husband Woody >Allen is more amused at the glitch. Woody’s new film, Irrational Man, stars Joaquin Phoenix as a philosophy professor who creates a stir when he arrives at a small Eastern college. He’s in a state of depression despite attention from a female professor (Parker Posey) and a cute student (Emma Stone.) Ultimately there is a murder involved and that makes the light romance far more interesting.

Colin Firth Magic in the Moonlight Movies Woody Allen

“MAGIC IN THE MOONLIGHT” IS ONE OF WOODY’S BEST

Woody Allen fans are in for a gigantic treat. His next film, “Magic in the Moonlight “ – due to be released this month, is one of Woody’s greatest triumphs. It’s visually delectable and the French Riviera in the 1920’s has never been more appealing. Colin Firth plays a smart, sarcastic, and egotistical magician to perfection. Woody has written him some of the best dialog EVER and Colin is hilarious. The movie is WAY more fun than the trailer implies – it renews your faith in intelligent comedy.

Fading Gigolo John Turturro Vanessa Paradis Woody Allen

“FADING GIGOLO” HAS MORE THAN A TOUCH OF WOODY ALLEN

We walked into screening of “Fading Gigolo” with hopeful expectations – and they were realized. It’s ALMOST a Woody Allen movie. Call it “Woody Allen light.” Woody, who is an actor in the movie, must have had some input when it comes to his own dialog because his character was exceptionally funny, It’s John Turturro’s film, but he is obviously influenced by Woody’s sense of humor in the best possible way. It’s light and sweet and fun and Vanessa Paradis plays a Hasidic woman in a brown wig!

Ratings Ronan Farrow Woody Allen

NEITHER HIS BRAINS OR HIS BLUE EYES ARE HELPING RONAN FARROW GET RATINGS

When it comes to looks, blue-eyed Ronan Farrow, 28, does look more like Frank Sinatra than Woody Allen, but when it comes to BRAINS, we think he’s definitely Woody’s son. It’s too bad Rhodes Scholar Ronan is estranged from his father Woody because Woody might be able to help him make a success of his MSNBC show. As it stands, the show, Ronan Farrow Daily, has not caught on with viewers and ratings are dismal. Only 312,000 people watched Ronan last Wednesday and most of them were over 50! A rerun of The Golden Girls did better. Sometimes being smart and articulate is just not enough.

WOODY ALLEN’S FINAL WORDS ON THE ABUSE ACCUSATION

Woody Allen’s rebuttal to Dylan and Mia Farrow’s accusations is articulate and brilliant. After taking a few days to think it over, Woody sent his response to the New York Times and it’s a doozy. We’re fairly certain he had his lawyer examine every word but this letter gets to the point. It addresses all the issues – new and old – pertaining to Dylan then and now. We were reminded that it isn’t against the law to marry your ex-girlfriend’s adopted daughter. Remember Woody did not live with Mia and her children – he always had his own apartment – so he was hardly a father figure to them. The problem is obviously between Woody and Mia and the children are the ones who suffer most. Since the horrific McMartin abuse debacle back in the 80’s, we’re not quick to judge.
