6. Woody Allen
Woody Allen's achievements are known to all film fans - so there is no need to wax lyrical about The Great Man here. We will go straight to the juicy bits of his personal life, which for me, were far more amusing than the films he makes. In 1980, Allen became romantically involved with Mia Farrow, they adopted a couple of kids and had one of their own - Satchel - of whom Mia Farrow alleges might be the son of Frank Sinatra. Woody did not adopt Mia Farrow's other adopted children that she became the mother of with her ex Andre Previn including Soon Yi. Farrow ditched Allen in 1992. A bitter custody battle followed with Farrow alleging Woody had molested one of their children. A major bone of contention was that Woody had started a sexual affair with Soon Yi and had photographed her naked when she was about 20. He was 56 and she was 19 when their relationship started. After 1992 and Woody's scandalous legal problems, Soon Yi stayed by Allen's side and they are happily settled with two adopted children. However a lot of bitterness and rancour still rankle in the family with Satchel - who changed his name to Ronan Seamus Farrow - tweeting on Father's day - "Happy Father's day or as we call it - happy brother in law's day". The whole world, in the early 1990s lapped up Woody's personal juicy private life. It was a rather ignominious period that I bet he wishes he could wash away from his life.
