Some say Woody Allen (“Irrational Man”) was born melancholy.. That can not be right for this reason, because he is much too pessimistic and too shy for the melancholy. At the end of one of his stand-up performances, he told the audience, he would like to give it a positive message with the on the road, “but I have no positive. Would you possibly take two negative also? “Another time he said he was so shy,” that I was always with the psychiatrist under the sofa. “
With these not particularly outstanding traits Woody Allen has the most exciting and smartest career in film history is written. Today the icon of intellectual comedy is 80 years old. Fear of death, he did not, he says, “. I just do not want to be there when it happens”

His professor sends him to psychoanalysis
He was born on December 1, 1935, as Allan Stewart Konigsberg in Brooklyn. In the Jewish family Yiddish and a little German is spoken alongside English yet. The young Konigsberg was sent to a Hebrew school, which has shaped his later life, as he confessed in an interview with the “Neue Zürcher Zeitung” a few years ago: “religions are not worth a thing to me. I do not educate my children in the Jewish tradition. I do not believe in God and find anyway all religions stupid. “
This Allan Stewart Konigsberg, which reports later that his mother had always said,” that I was a very happy child, until I five was “looking as a young man on the psychoanalyst. What more could you also make another, if one has the same claustrophobia and agoraphobia? He has worked as an author and gag-writers in the entertainment business, before enrolling for a course in Communications Arts at New York University and his professor sent him to psychoanalysis.
What can you do, if one is so battered by the adversities of ordinary madness? “Filmmaking is a good distraction from the agonies of life,” Allan Stewart Konigsberg has recognized and initially named Heywood Allen changed it, from which emerged over the years Woody Allen. He is creative enough yes. Already as a student he wrote satirical contributions for newspapers, then gags for comedians like Bob Hope, later screenplays.
And he characterizes as Linkin shear, bespectacled neurotics a new type of stand-up comedy. Critics call him the worst comedian in the world. Woody turns it into a scam – and a recipe for success. The psychoses plagued New York becomes a star
Towards the movie icon
His first films – with him as the main character – be blockbuster : “What’s New Pussycat” not (1965), “Casino Royale” (1967), “Woody, of Jonah” (1969), “Bananas” (1971), “Everything You Always Wanted to Know About Sex * But Were afraid to ask “ 
Then comes 1977″ The city euro sufferers ” 
Women and sex are its eternal themes of life on which this small, completely nondescript man has been processed. About the physical love he said: “Whether I consider sex for dirty? Of course, if one’s driving properly “and the marriage he reflects thus:” My ex-wife was a professor of philosophy at New York University – we always had intense philosophical discussions, in which they led the proof that I do not exist!. “
From ex-wives and family scandals
It is not just one ex-wife. As a 19-year-old he marries the philosophy student Harlene Rosen, pulling at his comedy appearances as “The Dread Mrs. Allen,” through the mud. The marriage only lasted four years Harlene sued him afterwards to one million US dollars for pain and suffering.
Louise Lasser, star of his early films, in 1966 Wife # 2. Divorce 1970. The actress Diane Keaton he for years a complicated, but also congenial relationship, the two are still close friends. Your follow Stacey Nelkin (24 years younger) and Mariel Hemingway (26 years younger), a granddaughter of the writer and Nobel laureate Ernest Hemingway.
Really messy, the relationship developed into a Hollywood star Mia Farrow (70) in 13 of his films permitting. Both live in separate apartments. Mia brings the adopted daughter Soon-Yin Previn with the connection. The couple adopted two children, Dylan Farrow and Moses Farrow and they have one son together, Satchel Farrow. As the actress discovered nude photos of young Soon-Yi and Allen then admitting an affair with Farrow’s adopted daughter, is the connection 1992 to pieces.
For decades, through shows Mia Farrow her former partner with a merciless campaign of revenge. You can notice in court that Allen’s behavior towards the children “abusive and uncaring” and that gets custody awarded. About his own son Stachel says Farrow, it was quite possible that her former partner Frank Sinatra is the true father. Satchel called now Ronan Farrow.
Moreover, accusing adopted daughter Dylan the director that he had sexually abused her, a claim that was never confirmed by the investigating authorities. Regardless of the American public Woody Allen was biased relevant, especially since he Farrow’s adopted daughter Soon-Yi married in 1997 as a third wife. This was too much for the nation.
The Eternal City Euro sufferers
He lives in New York with Soon-Yi and two other adopted children, makes every year a new film, sometimes even two. With four Oscars, he was awarded a total, but he seemed in no single ceremony. Every Monday night for more than 15 years he has performed with his clarinet in Nobel Hotel Carlyle, but also the jazz music he does not operate with ease and cheerfulness. “I have not a very good ear for music. I am a very poor musicians, like a Sunday Tennis Player. “
The fact that he has earned with his sense of humor many millions of dollars, also does not make him happy. After all, he admits: “Money is better than poverty, if only for financial reasons.”
The morning look in the mirror was anyway never had a revelation, and Woody looks so every day his pessimism purely physical confirmed how he betrayed the “Hamburger Abendblatt”: I am building physically from my hair are gray and less, I have a hearing aid, I am outwardly no longer the same as before 20 or 30 years “
. He quarrels with the worldly life, because “how can I believe in God when just last week has tangled my tongue in the roller of the typewriter” When you ask him about his relationship with death, he replies decided: “I’m totally against it! “Just the other day someone said to him that he would continue to live in the hearts of his countrymen. “But I want to live in my apartment!”
