Allen asks court to keep Farrow out of witness box
Actor-director Woody Allen asked a judge to stop a clothing company from putting his former longtime companion Mia Farrow and his wife – Farrow’s adopted daughter – on the witness stand as it defends itself against his claims it used his image on billboards without permission.
In papers filed in US District Court in Manhattan, Allen said Los Angeles-based American Apparel Inc’s requests to summon Farrow, her adopted daughter Soon-Yi Previn and others including his sister and Hustler magazine publisher Larry Flynt are a “brutish attempt to smear and intimidate” him.
