A brief history of the the many muses of Woody Allen:
1972: Diane Keaton stars in her first Allen film as the unassuming Linda in Play it Again, Sam. She’ll go on to star in 12 more …
1977: Including Annie Hall.
1982: Mia Farrow begins her stint by starring in A Midsummer Night’s Sex Comedy.
2005: Scarlett Johansson does Match Point, every man in American proceeds to take up tennis.
2016: Ugh … Miley Cyrus?
Right. So, the man who said back in May last year he “regretted every second” since agreeing to make a show for Amazon is starring in that very show alongside the Disney kid-turned-whatever-she-is-now.
The project was confirmed after an Instagram post showed a blacklit portrait of the 80-year-old director with the caption “F**k yeah ! Stoked to be in Woody Allen’s first series!!!!!”
Adding Allen’s show to a slate of programming that already boasts Golden Globe winners Transparent and Mozart in the Jungle is a good get for Amazon.
Whether it will be for Allen is yet to be determined.
