From the man himself comes the words, "My one
regret in life is that I am not someone else." However, if this man were truly someone else, then the world would not have laughed along with Woody Allen and his
unique sense of humor. Born on December 1, 1935 with the name Allen Stewart Konigsberg, Woody Allen is an American actor, director, screenwriter1, and comedian2. His life off-screen3 is just as
remarkable as his on-screen one.
Allen came from a middle-class Jewish family in New York City. At the age of 17, he started writing gags4 for famous comedians. In 1953, Allen
attended New York University and studied film before he
dropped out to
pursue a writing career and later stand-up comedy5.
Oddly enough, it was comedy that brought Allen back to writing and directing films.
Allen has also had many
romantic relationships, most of them with his leading ladies6, including Diane Keaton and Mia Farrow. However, Allen brought a lot of attention on himself when he married Soon-Yi Previn, who was Farrow's adopted daughter from Korea. To know more about the man, you just have to watch his movies.
