Changes

'''Woody Allen''' (1935 - ) was born in [[Brooklyn]], [[New York]]. He is a former stand-up [[comedian]], and currently an acclaimed [[writer]], [[director]] and [[actor]]. He now lives in [[Manhattan]].  Best known for his offbeat and often self-deprecating comedies, Allen produced his most popular films in the 1970s, most notably ''Annie Hall'', which set a mold for romantic comedies that others would try to emulate.  His work in the 80s and 90s changed to darker comedies.  Whether because of the scandal he caused in the 1990s (see below) or the natural ebb and flow of movie making creativity and what is popular, Allen has not had a hit in many years.  Allen has continued to write and direct movies, however, but his view of the quality of his work does not match the general box office.  He considers his 2005 movie ''Match Point'' to be one of his best.
