Actor: Woody Allen
Woody Allen has acted in most of the films he directed, playing variations on a single anxious, verbal, self-deprecating figure that became one of American comedy’s most imitated types.
Annie Hall won Best Picture and gave the persona its fullest form, and he won Best Original Screenplay for it and for three other films.
Allegations of sexual abuse made by his daughter Dylan Farrow, first in 1992 and repeated since, have dominated discussion of his work and have led many performers to disavow working with him. He was investigated and not charged.
