His most recent films include Sweet and Lowdown (1999), starring Samantha Morton and Sean Penn in Oscar-nominated performances; and Small Time Crooks (2000), costarring Tracey Ullman as the wife of failed criminal, played by Allen. A jazz clarinet player, since 1997, Allen has played with the Eddy Davis New Orleans Jazz Band in New York City. He is the author of numerous humor collections, including Getting Even (1971), Without Feathers (1975), and The Lunatic’s Tale (1986). In 1954, Allen married childhood sweetheart Harlene Rosen, but the couple divorced in 1960. In 1964, he married actress Louise Lasser, who had appeared in Allen’s 1965 film, What’s New, Pussycat. She and Allen divorced in 1969. Lasser was also featured in Allen’s Stardust Memories (1980). In 1980, Allen and actress Mia Farrow began a long-term relationship, and the couple had a son, Satchel (now Seamus), born in 1987. Together they adopted two more children—Moses and Dylan (now Eliza). In 1992, while living with Farrow, Allen became romantically involved with Farrow’s adopted daughter, Soon-Yi Previn, who was then 21. His relationship with Previn launched a media frenzy, during which time Allen and Farrow severed ties. In 1997, Allen and Previn married in Venice. They are the parents of two adopted daughters, Bechet (named after jazz clarinetist Sidney Bechet, Allen’s idol) and Manzie Tio. .
