In the final episode of the “Allen v Farrow” docuseries, Dylan Farrow revealed that she felt responsible for the divide in her family after coming forward with her allegation of Woody Allen assaulting her when she was seven years old, admitting “none of my older siblings were ever the same.”
“After the whole custody trial, my mom stopped having to go to court all the time and we moved away from the city,” explained Farrow. “And it was sort of a grace period where I thought, Ok, this is great, I can start over. We never talked about Soon-Yi or Woody. But there was a long period of guilt for me. I felt like I had caused a rift in my family. I felt if I’d just kept a secret that I could have spared my mom all this grief and my brothers, my sisters and myself.”

Woody Allen and his wife Soon-Yi Previn emerged shortly after the airing of the first episode of HBO’s new documentary series “Allen v. Farrow” to issue a statement condemning the network and non-fiction filmmakers Amy Ziering and Kirby Dick. The four-part “Allen v. Farrow” series takes a new look into the allegations that Allen molested his adopted daughter, Dylan Farrow, in 1992 when she was seven years old. For the series, Ziering and Dick conducted new interviews with Mia Farrow and her children, including Dylan Farrow and Ronan Farrow.
“These documentarians had no interest in the truth,” Allen and Previn’s joint statement reads (via THR). “Instead, they spent years surreptitiously collaborating with the Farrows and their enablers to put together a hatchet job riddled with falsehoods. Woody and Soon-Yi were approached less than two months ago and given only a matter of days ‘to respond.’ Of course, they declined to do so.

For approximately the last three years, Woody Allen has been known as an alleged child abuser first and a filmmaker second. His last feature to land American distribution was 2017’s “Wonder Wheel,” and even that release was hindered by the rise of the #MeToo movement. Since then, Allen has had to seek funding for new movies from foreign producers, he’s seen his two finished features kept out of the most respected film festivals, and though he’s still working and still profiting, the ostracized Oscar winner has been trying to repair his public image through his adopted son, Moses Farrow, with his wife, Soon-Yi Previn, and in his 2020 memoir, “Apropos of Nothing.”
Little, if anything, has made a difference. Allen’s reputation remains exactly where it belongs — in the trash heap — but in case the once-vindicated auteur thought he could spin, wait out, or once again dodge the charges...

With "Midnight in Paris," Woody Allen's comic look at nostalgia and its limitations, having earned four Oscar nominations last week (including nods for Best Picture, Allen's direction and his original screenplay), it's a good time to take a look back at Allen's 1987 comedy "Radio Days." Another comic take on nostalgia, "Radio Days" is now officially a golden oldie itself, having been released exactly 25 years ago, on January 30, 1987. A fond look, filtered through memory, of a 1940s New York childhood, the radio broadcasts that captivated audiences back then, and the behind-the-scenes gossip about the performers who voiced them, "Radio Days" may be best known today for launching the career of Seth Green -- then a 12-year-old who played the Allen-like narrator as a boy. But there's also a wealth of little-known true stories behind the film, some of them from Allen's own life, some from classic radio lore, and some...
