Woody Allen Turns 90 as Retrospectives Weigh Legacy and a Possible 2026 Spain Film

Coverage balances acclaim with unresolved reputation questions, with an Italian report suggesting an unconfirmed 2026 return to Spain.

Overview

  • Allen, born Allan Stewart Königsberg on November 30, 1935, marks his 90th birthday today.
  • He has written and directed roughly fifty films and has won four Oscars with 22 nominations, along with a Golden Lion for lifetime achievement.
  • Reporting revisits his relationship with Soon‑Yi Previn, their 1997 marriage in Venice, and the historical allegations involving Dylan Farrow that were later archived by Connecticut prosecutors and New York social services.
  • Recent work patterns highlight frequent European shoots due to reduced U.S. backing, and ANSA carries a single‑source, still‑developing report of a likely 2026 film to be shot in Spain with details undisclosed.
  • The 2020 memoir Apropos of Nothing was blocked by Hachette shortly before release and later published in Italy by La Nave di Teseo, reflecting shifting post‑MeToo reception of his work.
