Woody Allen at home in Manhattan, 1967. Arthur Schatz—The LIFE Picture Collection/Getty Images by [Ben Cosgrove](https://time.com/author/ben-cosgrove/) ## Ben Cosgrove Dec 1, 2014 6:50 PM UTC When LIFE magazine profiled Woody Allen (born Allan Stewart Konigsberg) in April 1967, the 31-year-old writer, actor, director and hugely popular stand-up comedian was already a formidable — if utterly insecure and neurotic — creative force. In the article, writer Paul O’Neil discussed just a few of the Bronx-born, Brooklyn-raised filmmaker’s achievements: --- > “” --- Five decades later, Woody Allen — now 79 years old and still working nonstop — remains one of the few major American filmmakers _of any age_ who writes and directs, like clockwork, a feature-length motion picture each and every year. He’s had his clunkers (the flabby, overrated — albeit highly profitable — _Midnight in Paris_, the unwatchable _Anything Else_ and quite a few others), but he’s also created some of the most celebrated American movies of all time: _Take the Money and Run_, _Sleeper_, _Annie Hall_, _Manhattan_, _The Purple Rose of Cairo_, _Zelig_, _Broadway Danny Rose_ and more. He’s won Oscars, BAFTAs, Golden Globes and festival awards. He’s written a dozen plays and best-sellers. ([_Without Feathers_](http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/35503.Without%5FFeathers) is, quite simply, one of the finest collections of humorous short stories ever published. Period.) And he plays a mean jazz clarinet. It hasn’t all been unalloyed success, though, and Woody Allen is not unfamiliar with scandal: his marriage to his much younger, one-time stepdaughter (“stepdaughter” in fact, if not in law) Soon-Yi Previn shocked an awful lot of his fans and is still fodder for crude jokes. And yet, according to many of those who know the them, in private Allen and Previn are exactly what they appear to be when they’re out in public: a devoted, happily married husband and wife. And then, of course, there are his adopted daughter [Dylan Farrow’s explosive claims that Allen molested her when she was a child](http://www.people.com/people/article/0,,20784292,00.html) — claims, it should be noted, that [Allen has long adamantly denied](http://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-26096048). Here, on his 79th birthday (b. Dec. 1, 1935), LIFE.com looks back at a period in Woody Allen’s life in the late 1960s when, already a star, he was hitting his stride as a filmmaker and a pop-culture force to be reckoned with. --- _Ben Cosgrove is the Editor of LIFE.com_ Liz Ronk, who edited this gallery, is the Photo Editor for LIFE.com.
