Woody Allen (born Allen Stewart Konigsberg on December 1, 1935) is an American film director, writer, actor, and comedian.
His large body of work and cerebral style have made him one of the most widely respected and prolific filmmakers in the modern era. He writes and directs his own movies and has acted in many of them as well.
For inspiration, Allen draws heavily on literature, philosophy, psychology, European cinema and, most importantly, New York City, where he was born and in which he has lived all his life.
