Ah, to begin and end a film career in Paris. It certainly feels quite fitting.

Is there scandal still swirling about him? Surely, by this, only among those who've not checked the evidence. Oh, and those actors who carefully 'regret' working with Woody.

Wonderful story John. I once ran into him on a street here in NYC where I live. Part of being a true born & bred New Yorker is to act "cool" around celebrities, either ignoring them entirely or just saying HI or giving a nod. I made the mistake of saying "Good morning Woody! How are You." And the brief wide eyed glazed glance I received in return struck me as if he were looking at an apparition.

I loved reading this. One of my favorite directors and movies. And who can resist the gift of a pinball machine?!
