Woody comes from a middle-class family. His mother earned her living as an accountant and his father was a jeweler. Since the earliest years Allen had a poor health, he was very thin and looked exhausted. The teenager hated school and had no friends. But he liked cinema and spent most part of his time, watching various movies.

His parents dreamed, he would become a lawyer or a doctor, but Woody fell in love with writing and earned his first $75 for a sketch, which was published in a local newspaper. Then it was a solid amount for him and the young man was very proud to bring home his first paycheck.

Woody Allen soon became a comedy writer and wrote his first script, named “What's New Pussycat”. He appeared as an actor in the movie too and this project brought Woody his first accolades and a big salary.

Woody Allen started to serve as a film director in 1966, when he created “What's Up, Tiger Lily?” He teamed up with Senkichi Taniguchi to direct that movie. Having gained initial experience, Woody continued to make his original comedies.
