Allen Talks: If you missed Woody Allen’s “my side of the story” interview about his bitter custody battle with Mia Farrow on CBS’ “60 Minutes” Sunday, here are some of the highlights of his talk with Steve Kroft: Allen denied Farrow’s allegations that he sexually abused their adopted daughter, Dylan, 7. “There is no possibility, there is no possibility that anything remotely ever happened to Dylan, or that I ever did anything to Dylan,” he said. He said that Farrow had “coached, methodically” to get the child to tell the story of abuse to a Connecticut doctor. Why? Allen said that Farrow had told him on several occasions, “You took my daughter, and I’m going to take yours,” referring to Allen’s relationship with her 21-year-old daughter, Soon Yi Previn. He also said that Farrow had threatened his life “many times.” When Kroft asked Allen if he could ever recover his reputation, he said he didn’t think so. “But I don’t care about that. I care if you tell me that I can see my children and be with them. . . .”
