Summary

Woody Allen is a writer, director, actor, and comedian known for New York-set comedies and dramas about relationships, anxiety, mortality, and moral responsibility, including Annie Hall, Manhattan, and Crimes and Misdemeanors. In 2023, he said the #MeToo movement had been good for women, while also calling aspects of cancel culture silly; in 2017, he warned that the Weinstein scandal could lead to a “witch hunt.” No public DEI roles, identity-based campaigns, or broader activist affiliations are on record.
