Woody Scoops Up Legal Fees
Thanks to a Manhattan judge, Woody Allen's legal crew gets to take the money and run.
Allen's ex-producer and longtime friend Jean Doumanian was ordered to pay the Annie Hall auteur a total of $95,000 in attorney fees and court costs stemming from their ongoing legal battle.
In 2001, Allen sued Doumanian and her company, Sweetland Films, for $14 million, claiming his former business partner cheated his Moses Productions out of gross profits from eight movies the two had collaborated on dating back to 1993. In 2002, following a nine-day trial, but before the jury could render its verdict, the two parties settled for a reported $7 million.
Allen, however, went back to court earlier this year after he objected to edits Doumanian had made to six of those films--Bullets over Broadway, Mighty Aphrodite, Everyone Says I Love You, Deconstructing Harry, Celebrity and Sweet and Lowdown--for television and in-flight versions.
Manhattan Supreme Court Justice Bernard J. Fried sided with Doumanian, saying she was within her rights to substitute certain expletives in the films instead of simply bleeping him out.
But on Friday, in two separate rulings worth $48,000 and $47,000, Fried found that Sweetland didn't properly pay residuals in Allen's name to the Screen Actors Guild, the Writers Guild of America and the Director's Guild of America. The judge also held Sweetland in contempt for failing to adhere to an earlier order stipulating the payments.
Allen and Doumanian became close pals after meeting when the former was a stand-up comic. They initiated a business relationship that lasted for four decades before the current legal brouhaha led them to sever ties.
Despite the split, they reportedly remain friends.
The 70-year-old Oscar winner's latest flick, Scoop, starring Hugh Jackman, Scarlett Johannson and Allen, opened in limited release on July 28.
