An unusual resume of American filmmaker Woody Allen, drafted in 1965, was recently discovered in the United States and displayed online.
“My hobbies are not drinking and avoiding sex,” wrote Woody Allen in his resume.
Discovered in the archive of filmmaker’s former press agent, Max Liebman, this document, which abounds in witty sentences, was written in 1965 and shows that 30-year-old Woody Allen’s career included at that time numerous television scripts, stand-up shows and a movie script for the comedy “What’s New Pussycat.” He had already written by that time for “The Tonight Show” and The Sid Caesar Show.”
Also, the resume of the American filmmaker expresses his determination to write, direct and play only in his movies.
“I’m not interested in writing any movies that I would not be in heavily (star or co-star in, is what I mean) and would not do adaptation for anyone in any medium because I am only interested in writing originals under any conditions. I would accept funny roles if offered me and I liked them,” said Woody Allen in his resume.
The following year after writing his resume, Woody Allen directed his first film, “What’s Up, Tiger Lily?”, and since then never looked back, observing his promise in the resume.
Other fun items listed in CV is a unique series of funny confessions:
“Attended New York University but thrown out for poor student”
“I play several musical instruments, all horribly. I love music.”
“I go out with girls if they are pretty, funny, bright, neurotic and like Hershey Bars (addict)”
“When I was a child they’d give me a quarter and I’d let them alone. Now I give them money and they let me alone.”
Woody Allen, born Allan Stewart Konigsberg in New York, December 1st, 1935 is a film director, screenwriter, actor, comedian, author and musician with a career that spans over 50 years.
