A falling star. Woody Allen would have written an autobiography, but no publisher would be available to release it. Times when the director dominated Hollywood have passed.
What’s #MeToo’s heritage? The women are stronger than the past thanks to their battles. But the trail left by a movement that has defended women and pilloried all men with suspected or real misdees in their past is still long. Among the pilloried public figures who have paid, are paying and will pay the consequences, first of all, we have Harvey Weinstein, but he is not the only one. In the group of artists who are declining or have already fallen from the pedestal, there is now Woody Allen.
As reported by the New York Times, the director would no longer enjoy the same reputation of past years in Hollywood. In fact, apparently nobody would like to publish Woody Allen‘s autobiography. Let’s see the previous steps. At the outbreak of #MeToo the director had been harshly criticized for defending Harvey Weinstein and the accusations of harassment against his adopted daughter Dylan Farrow came back to be object of discussion. Some star system’s membres stated that they wanted to avoid to work in projects related to him. Immediate effects on his career that also have persuaded Amazon not to distribute his latest film, A Rainy Day in New York. According to the New York Times, Allen’s memoirs will be neither published nor distributed, this represents the inexorable decline of one of the most acclaimed directors of our (past) time.
