Keaton, 72, tweeted her support for Allen and called him her friend. The “Annie Hall” actress’ tweet included Allen’s 1992 “60 Minutes” interview, in which he defended himself against accusations that he molested his stepdaughter, Dylan Farrow, reported Page Six.
“Woody Allen is my friend and I continue to believe him. It might be of interest to take a look at the 60 Minute interview from 1992 and see what you think,” tweeted Keaton.
