VIDEO : Kate Winslet Praises Woody Allen's Writing For Women

Kate Winslet praised "Wonder Wheel" director Woody Allen's ability to craft female characters. Winslet joked that she thought that "on some level Woody is a woman." The actress has faced a backlash for defending her decision to work with Allen, including from Allen's adopted daughter Dylan Farrow. Allen has been accused of sexually abusing Dylan Farrow when she was seven. He has denied it. Late last month, Kate Winslet gave director Woody Allen a unique compliment in an interview with The Sydney Morning Herald, and it has surfaced again after the publication of an op-ed by Allen's adopted daughter, who criticized Winslet by name for continuing to work with him.
