That can happen with many celebrities. A lot of times they are unrecognizable in public or it could be an actor that’s in a big TV show but his or her name is not really known in the mainstream
Wow. You’re so lucky. It is my dream to meet him, though I do not think I will be able to travel to NYC any time soon. When have you seen him the last time?
Kudos for the Grandfather clock albeit his is younger than mine, ha! Seriously, the idea he had to make his place 'Chic-while-messy'...his style...it soothes the soul just to look at this vid. Well done.
Woody Allen follows his heart and I attribute that to his many successes. I have followed his films since Take the Money and Run and Bananas of the Sixties. Thereafter I have been a loyal fan. Having read his autobiography “Apropos of Nothing” I saw a glimpse of his growing up and who and what influenced him. There is an authenticity here helping me understand the logistics of his choices in his living spaces. His taste is impeccable. He is a wizard of film and profound in his artistry and his eloquence in his film dialogue captures my poetic nerve endearing me onward to his commentary of social mores and inspirational passages. I am forever grateful. Love this sequence. Thanks for sharing.
The thing is that in every Woody Allen movie I've taken more notice of The Interiors. Of course he has books , a library, love the needle work too the plush deep red comfort of chairs, even the light hearted sunflowers. This home is as one would expect, near culture and one of the most beautiful parks in the World. Manhattan is a melting pot of style, eclectic, antique, deco etc married with modern. Fabulous, thank you for sharing.
That 1951 Olympia typewriter of his has been serviced yearly and parts replaced from other exact models at great expense. This is the typewriter on which, while still in high school he wrote jokes published in the newspaper columns of the day. A nephew saw my old typewriter and didn't know what it was, he asked me "Where's the screen?"
Sometimes in interviews, Woody can seem extremely humble and simple. Like it was forced. But when we look at certain features of his home, such as the minimalist space where he writes, we say to ourselves that he really is what he says he is, which is completely adorable and charming.
Love, respect, admiration ,and most of all gratitude to this genius who has lifted me out of the darkest times or facilitated my most joyful phases I often re watch any of his films that show themself suddenly on TV or elsewhere .Thank you for this presentation.As far as the townhouse I am rather surprised to see the furniture that resembles Early American ,the chairs, the dining room ..I would have never guessed that Of course he still writes on the old typewriter 😊 That must be a wonderful sound echoing throughout the home
Indeed, that was my take on seeing Americana in his home. Marie Calendars' was a restaurant chain on the west coast before they moved to frozen foods. Wonderful dining rooms with a heavy spoon of Americanna in the decorating. It was fitting considering how the restaurants were marketed, even back then. The juxtaposition of Americana and Woody and his roots in NYC, is jarring. I understand this is his personal space and not beholden to fashion, Wouldn't he have been more pleased with late 19th early 20th century pieces that were a bit more unique? I shall hush. If someone that didn't know me criticized my decorations and wall hangings, I'd backhand the runt so face was on sideways! Also: I never have guests over, so my thinking is more hypothetical.
I never thought about what his home would look like, but I was somewhat surprised how to traditional it was and the quiet pallet. I think it looks very homey and relaxing.
Having followed Woody Allen since the 70’s this home fits him perfectly and is a true reflection of his films and style he’s always lived in. As far as personal style going for myself it’s too chilly , I’d seek more warmth throughout the home I enjoy choosy style settings.
It surprised us that Mr. Woody Allen’s NYC home would be very similar to our own home! Mostly for us it is antique thrift store finds! We respect him for being so practical yet so creative with their taste in their home. Thank you Mr. Allen for so many wonderful movies that we have been enjoying for so many years! Blessings to you and your family, John and Judith Gullett
Ummm ... what's the problem? You realize Allen never lived with Crazy Farrow, right? It's true they were a couple, and coworkers, but never shared a home (he never stayed the night). He also never had anything to do with the 'adoption projects' with which Farrow filled the empty place that should have been her soul. He didn't even have anything to do with his theoretical 'biological' child, Satchel Ronan (those were the only terms under which Allen was willing to procreate with Farrow). Allen barely even knew Soon Yi until Farrow asked him to start taking her to basketball games and other events to help her to become more social. Mission accomplished! Soon Yi blossomed into a confident, headstrong woman, wife, and mother to two grown daughters with Allen. Everyone should be so blessed as to have someone like Allen to help them overcome the misfortunes of her first 18 years.
@@madeleinerose7090 Yeah, it's totally normal. (sarcasm) A man 85 years old with a woman 53 year old and she was how old when she got involved with Allen? Was he 53 and she was 21 years old? And you are calling Mia crazy? Seriously? There is so much wrong with what you wrote and you don't even know it. No matter how you try to make it seem normal it is concerning that a 53 year old man became involved with his long term partner's adopted 21 year old daughter. Mia was the mother of Allen's child Ronan and that child was a sibling of Soon Yi. How do you think Allen's and Soon Yi's relationship affected the other siblings especially Ronan? You don't think the daughter betrayed her mother? I am so happy that she "found her confidence" if that is what you call it. I call it something else.
I'm glad he's not living in all white, so popular now, but I find to be so icy and boring. This is much better, but it seems a little too country. It's more of a design that would fit at a country place in Vermont. It could be a bit more elegant, while still being comfortable.
The photographs are good. The narrative, however, is confusing. Are all the photographs of his (current?) townhouse on E. 70th or are some of his previous townhouse on 92nd Street (I think) or of his apartment in Manhattan's Carnegie Hill neighborhood (not borough). Using consistent terminology would be helpful -- is it a townhouse, mansion, estate, or apartment?
New York's East Side, so fashionable! The interior furnishings could have beenn opulent and showy, but that would not have been Allen's style. Instead there is comfort everywhere and modest (relatively speaking) furnjishings.
There is absolutely nothing I like about this house, except, perhaps, its location. His first home, the very large one that appeared in AD, was FABULOUS. I nearly fell over when I first saw pictures of it as I would never have matched it to the wit of the man. But it was spectacularly well designed and this one would drive me countries away from the interior designer!!!!
Surprising on many levels, such a revelation . Tis also a nod to his taste in music even though the Jazz movement is much later than the antiques of choice. Really exquisite composition.
Tasteful, warm, humane, comfortable. To improve it would require subtlety and even then would be a matter of personal taste more than anything. Very nice indeed. Cheers. :)
I love this and am very surprised that it so similar to Mia Farrow's former home in the Langham on the west side of Central Park. It is so much her taste. I wonder if he realizes that.
That interior is only a deaf and dumb reflexion of Woody's mind. Woody is the voice and the interior is the framed shot. Liked his films and the deep (self) reflexions on humans in alldays realations. Now i am sitting at the other end of the ocean and as a kid on sunday evenings Woody's movies were played on televison. Nice and cosy in winter in front of the stove, and Woody in NYC on 5th ave reminiscign about his relation to a co-worker and developping plans ..you know . That was very nice. Mist coming up out those holes in the streets, the city train and yellow Mercury cabs and city noises. It could have been my city ..
He used to give them all to his parents, and they were on display in his parents' apartment. There is a scene toward the end of the documentary "Wild Man Blues" where Woody, with Soon Yi, visits his parents at their apartment, and he has gifts for them; he says something like "You can keep them with the others". Now that his parents of course are long ago deceased, they are likely with him - but I imiagine probably locked away in a closet, because he never gave much weight to awards.
His apt., featured in Architectural Digest, was absolutely fabulous! Not what you would have ever expected Woody to live in. The job done here is wretched. ‘Amateur’ home decorators do better work than the awful ‘decorator’ who botched this!!!
Good question. Though many of his movies are box office flops he obviously makes a comfortable living from them. He once said in an interview that he's made more money from real estate than from his movies. Probably true. He started making good money at a young age with his writing and comedy act, and probably kept selling his homes at a good profit and trading up to better digs as he got older. Part of his success can be attributed to to his work ethic. He's constantly working on something and this produces results.
Error in your footage @ 50 seconds in! Woody's home is not this house but the one next door! Even on the later interior footage you will see the window blinds match the property to the far left.
Def a very stuffy, frumpy style. I love Woody and his films, but I hate art that has sayings on it, and def not a fan of Grandma style samplers Library is great and dining room very inviting.
@@jrd3523 I'm not interested in your blind belief. I am interested in the facts. And the facts tell us that Mia Farrow has been terrible to her adopted children (she lost FIVE of her first SIX Asian adoptees) while Woody's and Soon-Yi's two adoptive children adore their parents. The facts also tell us that Mia's biggest LIE about Woody Allen has been exposed by FOUR child abuse expert instances, ALL working in Mia's daughter's best interest. The facts also tell us that Mia's attorney did not believe her 'abuse story'. Nor did Mia's hired expert believe her 'abuse story'. Nor Mia's son - the only direct witnesss to the alleged 'abuse' - believe his mother's story and, instead, told their nanny right away that Mia had *made up* the story. You have no convincing, verifiable facts to support your belief. I do. Sorry about that.
Really can’t appreciate his taste, it’s a waste of the townhouse in such a nice location, interior design looks like in a farm house, even though he is talented in many ways but his home taste is not great to share with others, the truth is famous person with talent is not necessarily got good tastes!
The home doesn’t look expensive. Which is guess feels cozy. I guess it looks like something in one of his movies, but it’s surprisingly down low key to me. Almost looks poor. Like a Jewish Brooklyn row house.
Woody Allen has brought laughter and joy to my New York heart. He is truly a Rennaissance Man, and I enjoy his Art immensely.
At his age , let him do what he wants , beautiful place , great films , best to him and his family
My family and i occasionally see Woody at our favorite restaurant on the upper East side!! On one occasion we sat at the next table. 😊😊😊😊
That can happen with many celebrities. A lot of times they are unrecognizable in public or it could be an actor that’s in a big TV show but his or her name is not really known in the mainstream
Name names please 🙏 makes me wish I hadn’t moved to Paris. I did once see him on the street long ago…
Wow. You’re so lucky. It is my dream to meet him, though I do not think I will be able to travel to NYC any time soon. When have you seen him the last time?
Was he nervous ?
Spill it. What's the name of the place? Always looking for a good restaurant recommendation. 🍷🍽😋
Americana and nostalgia, but done perfectly. Even the light coming in seems from another time. It's like a set you can live in comfortably.
Kudos for the Grandfather clock albeit his is younger than mine, ha! Seriously, the idea he had to make his place 'Chic-while-messy'...his style...it soothes the soul just to look at this vid. Well done.

I love his work. He is a brilliant guy. Who else has put out one film per year for 50+ years? No one. He is the biggest NYC cheerleader you will find.
I love the house. It's personal and lived in and interesting. So warm. Woody Allen, a favorite writer, director, and actor. Love him.
Woody Allen is just great !
I never thought about what his home would look like, but I was somewhat surprised how to traditional it was and the quiet pallet. I think it looks very homey and relaxing.
Back when life was worth living a new Woody Allen movie was an event. Lines went on forever. Back before the end of the American Dream.
"Back when life was worth living".
I hope everything is OK.
❤Beautiful home that reflects a person happy with their own style....❤
Having followed Woody Allen since the 70’s this home fits him perfectly and is a true reflection of his films and style he’s always lived in. As far as personal style going for myself it’s too chilly , I’d seek more warmth throughout the home I enjoy choosy style settings.
Exquisite taste, and love his films.

WOW !!!! His home is great so nice to see antiques I hate contemporary, his home feels like it's in the country not Manhattan.
I love his home!!!
Looks comfortable and inviting.
I miss his movies. Genius
I love his house. It reflects his warmth and eclectic tastes. ❤
He brings English Clutter style to a purpuseful ambience of old, unabashed money: serenity, joy, and creative forces of intelligence.
Oh brother.
Beautiful home and haven!
Lovely ! Cosy atmosphere !
A warm and cosy comfortable home
The lovely home is a reflection of the man living in it 🥰
yes. A guy who married the adopted child of his ex.
Seriously?
@@JennaRight Guess your too young to know the whole sorted details. Google it! He has a nice house and a dark soul.

Glad you enjoyed it
I love this space and the way he has decorated it.
What an invite!

Mia’s taste dwells where she sits!!!!
I remember her Connecticut home being featured in Architectural Digest years ago. She always creates such a beautiful but homey space.
That interior is only a deaf and dumb reflexion of Woody's mind. Woody is the voice and the interior is the framed shot.

Spot on
would've loved to see the professional kitchen
I want to see where he keeps his Oscars and other numerous awards.
He used to give them all to his parents, and they were on display in his parents' apartment. There is a scene toward the end of the documentary "Wild Man Blues" where Woody, with Soon Yi, visits his parents at their apartment, and he has gifts for them; he says something like "You can keep them with the others".

Beautiful.
I loved his film radio days. Theres certainly room in there for one. Woody allen f.m. ( film maker)
I'm glad he's still with Soon Yi after all the scandal with Mia Farrow.
my favorite has a very good taste1
I like it..
"Woody got to make the decisions about space travel" - lol!
I would buy it from him, but with my commute it’s just easier I keep my trailer in Dutchess county.
thank you
It's nice.
"Shadley gladly"? @4:28 "Ed Rush"? @6:31, it's "Ed Ruscha" pronounced ed roo SHAY. Who wrote the script for this video?
Does Woody still perform at Michael's Pub ?
Love most of it, except some of the wall hangings.
His apt., featured in Architectural Digest, was absolutely fabulous! Not what you would have ever expected Woody to live in. The job done here is wretched. ‘Amateur’ home decorators do better work than the awful ‘decorator’ who botched this!!!
I think Soon-Yi's taste heavily influenced the furnishing of this home. I agree, I don't like it either.
How is it possible that Woody's films don't turn a profit ? Obviously Woody has a ton of money . How is this possible . ? 🇺🇸🏆🎬

Woody, Woody, Woody !!!!!!!!!!!!
The house looks great!! Is his wife also his daughter?
yes and also his mother
@@igoralexandershnaidstein1599 Wrong. His wife was NOT his daughter.
No, she isn't. She was never his daughter (adopted or otherwise). If you cared for the truth, and not fiction, you would already know that.

@@mcouzijn Your vapid rant is grotesque, to say the least. His own kids witnessed his "behavior" and talked about it. Get a rest, you truly need it.
It's beautiful. I'm surprised though that Woody Allen likes early colonial, I would have thought 40's or mid century modern?
Very tasteful.
Invite me over, Woody! I promise to bring a box of pastries...in a nice assortment!
Hideous art
😂Woody and his first typewriter remind me of Willie Nelson and his guitar, Trigger.
Stuffy grand ma or in this case great grand ma style or non style. I can see the moths flying around and a mouse some where too.
You are clearly not getting the underlying sophistication.
Introduction drones on and on...I bailed. This is billed as a tour of his house. Get on with it!
There is no such thing as bad taste,only good taste and no taste. Oscar Wilde.
Sofa with its back to the fireplace???
Looks like Grandma's house.
Is that Sesame Street in NY?
No bathrooms ..??? 😊
It looks like a grandmother lives there.
That was my thought.
Maybe one resides...in Woody's complicated mind.
Really can’t appreciate his taste, it’s a waste of the townhouse in such a nice location, interior design looks like in a farm house, even though he is talented in many ways but his home taste is not great to share with others, the truth is famous person with talent is not necessarily got good tastes!
It’s rather horrible.
Your hokey, bourgeois conceits are lost on a brilliant mind like Allen's.
I don't see it that way I guess. It just looks like rich old people live there.
Love him. Mia lies
No, he just got caught.
Wrong. He passed a polygraph, she and Dylan referred to take one. Mua and Dylan are liars.@@queens6583
The home doesn’t look expensive. Which is guess feels cozy. I guess it looks like something in one of his movies, but it’s surprisingly down low key to me. Almost looks poor. Like a Jewish Brooklyn row house.
Looks like he dragged stuff in from the prop room after some period movie. The images here are repetitive.
Surprising I expected more Asian accent pieces and less folk art. I really liked the cozy feel except for Micky and Minnie.
He's taking his cue from the old money Yankees.
Depressing house. Inhabited by someone still living in the past, not moving into the future. It's kind of an emotional crutch.
Interesting topic but I can't continue to listen to the voice. Tuning out ...
It's pronounced Ed "Roo-Shay", not Ed "Rush"
Still, pretty good for a robot reading this narration. It gets it closer on the second mention of ER.
