We are wishing Diane Keaton a very happy birthday – she turned 69 on 5th of January. So much of what we love about Woody Allen comes from loving her and her work – and it’s probably true for a lot of people. Their friendship endures to this day. But how did it start? Our […]

Woodywatch is our column that reports on Woody Allen sightings. There’s a couple of rules – no pap shots, and no regular Monday night Jazz at the Carlyle because we’d be here every week.
