Woody Allen

Previn gained international attention in 1992 when it was revealed she was having a relationship with her mother's long-time romantic partner, Woody Allen. Her adoptive mother, Mia Farrow, discovered the affair when she found nude photographs of her adopted daughter in Allen's apartment. Farrow had one biological and two adopted children with Allen.

The affair was covered by tabloids, focusing not only on her initial familial relation to Allen's long-time partner and to his children, but also the 35-year age difference between Previn and Allen.

The couple married on December 24, 1997 in the Palazzo Cavalli in Venice, Italy. They have two adopted daughters, Bechet Dumaine Allen and Manzie Tio Allen, both named after jazz musicians (Sidney Bechet and Manzie Johnson). [Steven Silverman (November 6, 1997).
