What's After the Movie

Woody Allen

Woody Allen is an iconic figure in the American film industry, renowned for his work as a filmmaker, writer, actor, comedian and musician. He is especially prominent for his unique blend of comedy and drama, interweaving humour with serious themes. Allen was born Allan Stewart Konigsberg on November 30, 1935 in New York City. He started his career in television in the 1950s, working with industry legends such as Mel Brooks, Carl Reiner, Larry Gelbart, and Neil Simon. He simultaneously wrote humor pieces for The New Yorker and released several books of short stories.

Allen's breakthrough came in the late 1960s when he transitioned to film, directing and starring in a series of acclaimed slapstick comedies. He achieved further critical success in 1977 with Annie Hall, a romantic comedy-drama which won four Academy Awards. Throughout his career, Allen has received multiple accolades, including the most nominations (16) for the Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay and the BAFTA Fellowship in 1997. He continues to be an active figure in the industry, directing a film almost every year.
