Bad Dad Tale: Com-icky

Movie director Woody Allen’s sexual behavior with his daughters is not the stuff of comedy. At age 56, he had a relationship with the 21-year-old adopted daughter of his then partner, Mia Farrow; they later married. He was also accused of molesting the young daughter he and Farrow adopted together. Allen continued to work, but his reputation never recovered. For the story of another bad dad, read The Great Stork Derby, based on an actual contest in which a husband pressures his wife to have babies for cash and, fifty years later, learns the true value of fatherhood.
