CANNES, France — Woody Allen has restated his support for fellow filmmaker Roman Polanski, who is under house arrest in Switzerland in connection with a 33-year-old sex scandal.
Allen said Polanski "was embarrassed by the whole thing," "has suffered" and "has paid his dues."
Allen's relationship with actress Mia Farrow ended in scandal and New York tabloid headlines in 1992, when she found out he was having an affair with her adopted daughter Soon-Yi Previn, then 22. Allen married Previn in 1997.
