Allen, the acclaimed director-screenwriter-actor who never shook allegations that he molested his adopted daughter in 1992, described later moving in with Keaton and forming a creative bond with the beloved actor.<\/p>\n
\u201cShe sat through Take the Money and Run and said the movie was very funny and very original. Her words. Its success proved her correct and I never doubted her judgment again,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
\u201cI never read a single review of my work and cared only what Keaton had to say about it. If she liked it, I counted the film as an artistic success,\u201d said Allen, who worked alongside Keaton in several films, including Annie Hall, Manhattan, and Manhattan Murder Mystery.<\/p>\n
Keaton stood by Allen when much of Hollywood shunned the neurotic funnyman at the height of the MeToo reckoning in January 2018, tweeting \u201cWoody Allen is my friend and I continue to believe him\u201d.<\/p>\n
At that time, the director was again facing accusations of sexual assault, made in 1992 by his adoptive daughter Dylan Farrow. Charges against him were dropped after two separate investigations.<\/p>\n
Troubled relationship with food <\/p>\n
In his tribute, Allen describes Keaton\u2019s difficult relationship with food.<\/p>\n
\u201cShe\u2019d put away a sirloin, hash browns, marble cheesecake, and coffee. Then we\u2019d get home, and moments later she\u2019d be toasting waffles or packing a huge taco with pork,\u201d he wrote.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis slim actress ate like Paul Bunyan. Only years later when she wrote a memoir did she describe her eating disorder.\u201d<\/p>\n
Allen concluded his tribute by saying that \u201ca few days ago the world was a place that included Diane Keaton\u201d.<\/p>\n
\u201cNow it\u2019s a world that does not. Hence, it\u2019s a drearier world.\u201d<\/p>\n
