How Woody Allen Sees It
Even
as he approaches 80, Woody Allen remains one of the most prolific filmmakers
working today. With the release of his 48th feature, "Blue Jasmine,"
the celebrated director opens up about playing the romantic lead, the hit-flop
trap and why he just can't quit the business.
IN REAL LIFE, WOODY ALLEN isn't much different from the character he plays in his movies. He has
the same reedy Brooklyn accent he uses on-screen and wears the same dorky, black-framed glasses
he's worn since he was 17. He's shy, meek, insecure, a little phobic. When he
showers, he makes a point of standing away from the drain, and he's not crazy
about tunnels. Too much like the womb.
