Mia Farrow has an intriguing take on actors who choose to work with Woody Allen

Mia Farrow, who has accused her ex-partner Woody Allen of sexually abusing their adopted daughter Dylan for years, said she “completely understands” actors wanting to work with the director. (Watch the video below.)

Asked on “CBS Sunday Morning” if she could separate her 13 films from the “personal trials and tribulations that would follow,” the “Purple Rose of Cairo” star replied: “Oh yeah. I totally understand if an actor decides to work with him. I’m not one to say, ‘Oh, they shouldn’t do that.’”

Fast forward to 5:50:

Several actors have disavowed or pledged not to work with the prolific “Annie Hall” Oscar winner, including Michael Caine, Timothée Chalamet, Mira Sorvino, Colin Firth, Rebecca Hall and Greta Gerwig. But Oscar winner Javier Bardem is among the entertainment figures who has voiced his support. He said the embattled filmmaker was publicly lynched and that he wouldn’t hesitate to join another Allen film.

Allen has repeatedly denied the allegations of abuse and, following a police investigation, no charges have been filed.

Dylan Farrow told her mother about the alleged incident in August 1992, and a few days later, Farrow filed for custody of Dylan and two other children they shared. Allen married Farrow’s adopted daughter, Soon-Yi Previn, in 1997.

At the Venice Film Festival last year, Allen said he was willing to meet Dylan, while reiterating that her accusation was unfounded. “There was nothing wrong with it,” he told Variety. “The fact that it sticks always makes me think that people might like the idea that it sticks. You know, maybe there’s something appealing to people. But why? Why? I don’t know what you can do except investigate it, which they’ve done so painstakingly.”

Allen, 88, suggested that “Coup de Chance,” which screened at last year’s Venice Film Festival, would be his last film.

According to IMDB, he has no full-length film projects planned.
