Scandal
Allen was involved in a scandal that broke in 1992 when it was revealed he had taken naked pictures of Soon-Yi Previn, the adopted daughter of his girlfriend, Mia Farrow, who was then 16. This ended his 12 year "Common Law" marriage to Farrow and made public his relationship with Soon-Yi. At the time of the scandal Soon-Yi was 22 and Allen was 57. In 1997, the two married.[1] Allen says this about leaving out the naked pictures that Mia Farrow found of her adopted daughter:"...it was just one of the fortuitous events, one of the great pieces of luck in my life."[2]
