Sigourney Weaver: 'I Played A Little Girl...Who Kept A Hedgehog In Her Vagina'
Sigourney Weaver talks about turning down Woody Allen.
She explained, "He'd offered me a really good part in 'Annie Hall' but I was doing this play... called 'Titanic,' in which I played a little girl in a sailor suit who kept a hedgehog in her vagina...and so I turned down Woody Allen, and sweetly he gave me this little tiny walk-on right at the very end of 'Annie Hall.'"

The Most Underrated & Overrated Woody Allen Films
This month, Woody Allen returned with his best film in years. The mesmerizing love triangle that is "Vicky Cristina Barcelona" takes Allen back to his world of thematic comedies of love that he first cultivated in the mid-70s. It has all the classic Allen touches like his stylized adult dialogue and self-examining humor.
It's a pleasure to see the Woodman operating again at full form after a decade filled with "Scoop", "Hollywood Ending" and films of that nature. This return to brilliance can't help but make a fan re-explore Allen's films of year's past.

Men Scare Diane Keaton
Actress Diane Keaton has never wed because she's afraid of men. The Annie Hall star has famously dated stars like Woody Allen and Warren Beatty, but she admits she never came close to marrying either men - or any of the other guys she has romanced.
She says, "I was always a little bit afraid of men: 'Oh no, am I going to get lost in this? Am I going to be myself, or am I going to be constantly saying, Your jokes are so funny!' I was inclined to be someone who would go along. Not a good thing. They're not getting the real you, and you don't know how to be the real you."

Violence Propels Filmmakers, Moviegoers & The Academy Awards
The lights go down. A low, rumbling bass slightly shakes the seats as the occupants draw in a tight, anticipatory breath. The first thing to break the tension is a thin beam of light across the center of the screen. It is accompanied by a low, rat-at-tat rhythm that could be rain on a tin roof- if it weren't for the high-pitched shriek in the background.
Is that yelling? Shouting? The shriek morphs into a scream of mechanical menace. It's a bomb, and it's followed by an explosion linked to the picture exploding into life. The audience sees all-out war. Guts are flying, blood is strea...

Scarlett Johansson Isn't Woody Allen's Muse
Oscar-winning director Woody Allen is bemused when actress Scarlett Johansson is deemed his "muse" - because it simply isn't true. The 71-year-old has cast the He's Just Not That Into You star in three of his most recent films - Match Point, Scoop and Midnight In Barcelona - but insists she is no patch on former lover and Annie Hall star, Diane Keaton.
He says, "I'm grateful when they call her (Johansson) my muse, but it isn't true. With Diane Keaton it was different. We made eight or nine movies together and had a special connection. But I like working with Scarlett."

Drew Barrymore Was Devastated By Dubbed Singing Debut
Drew Barrymore was mortified when she found out she was the only A-list cast member to have her songs dubbed in Woody Allen's film Everyone Says I Love You. The actress made her singing debut in the 1996 film, but a professional was eventually brought in to record over her voice when filmmakers decided her singing wasn't good enough.
She recalls, "It was a really unfortunate moment in my life. Ever since then I believed that I couldn't do it, and that I was a bit of a failure and a bit of a person who didn't try hard enough, and I've always had this sort of sick feeling about it."
