Legendary model Twiggy said she was humiliated by Woody Allen during an interview that took place on her first visit to New York. The 60-year-old model said that the young director asked her to name her favourite philosopher. "There was one person who wasn't so nice - a young comic called Woody Allen and he was to interview me for a documentary," said the face of M&S. "His first question was: 'Who's your favourite philosopher?' My heart sank. I wanted to run off and burst into tears. I didn't know any philosophers. And he probably knew I didn't. When I said so, he replied, 'Oh come on, everyone has a favourite philosopher.' It was such a cruel thing to do to a young girl."
But the beauty said she refused to be beaten."I was desperate and trying not to cry but I turned the tables on him and asked him to come up with some names - but he couldn't think of any either! Then he said to me, 'I suppose you've read Dickens,' thinking I hadn't. So I said, 'Yeah, I read him at school.' In the end he said, 'Oh, I can't interview her,' and left the stage." SOURCE: IMDB
