| − | '''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. 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. | + | '''Woody Allen''' (1935 - ) was born in [[Brooklyn]], [[New York]].
