Answer:
Woody Allen
Allen was arguably America's most original movie actor, writer, and director all rolled into one. On screen, he was the epitome of the modern bungler tormented by self-doubt, neurosis, and unanswerable lust. He co-wrote and appeared in 'What's New, Pussycat?' (1965), his first film, and 'Play It Again Sam' (1972) was the cry of a man who never got the girl and a tribute to Humphrey Bogart, who usually did.
Renowned for producing funny pictures with a serious side, such as 'Annie Hall' (1977) which won three Oscars, his work 'Crimes and Misdemeanors' (1989) were a little more thoughtful.
