Woody Allen was once made a knight commander by France, but he didnt know because the paperwork got lost in the mail.A decade later, he found out about the award by reading about it in the New York Times.Across nearly nine eventful decades, Allens life has been full of surprises. Writing jokes got him a gig as the youngest writer of Sid Caesars television dream team. As a rising comic, he boxed a kangaroo on TV. He made a blankcheck deal with a major studio for terms unmatched in Hollywood apart from early titans like Chaplin and Welles. All before Annie Hall.Yet despite once being one of the most consequential American cultural figures, Allen is now persona non grata. In this judicious biography, acclaimed biographer Patrick McGilligan charts the meteoric rise and fall of the comedian whose nonconformity proved both his secret genius and Achilles heel.Drawing on meticulous research, McGilligan reconstructs Allens Brooklyn boyhood, his salad days as a television comedy writer, his rise to standup, and the thoughtful, awardwinning filmmaking of his golden years in the 1970s and 80s. His messy relationships with wives and girlfriends, including Annie Hall costar Diane Keaton, were essential to his artistic development and undoing. Yet no one could have predicted his tumultuous personal and professional relationship with actress Mia Farrow, his alleged abuse of their adopted daughter Dylan, and his subsequent marriage to Mias daughter SoonYi Previn.In this comprehensive, sweeping, and rigorous account of Allens life and career, McGilligan astutely reveals the writers writer beyond the smoke and controversy, and paints a compelling portrait of the most creative, productive, and influential filmmaker of his time.
