Allen's connections to Ireland run fairly deep outside of the potential business end of things. His ex, Mia Farrow, is the daughter of Irish-born actress Maureen O'Sullivan, and Farrow decamped to Dublin for a while after the you know what hit the fan during their acrimonious split -- the one in which Woody took off with Farrow's adopted Asian daughter, Soon Yi, who is now Mrs. Allen.

Allen and Farrow had a biological child who they named Satchel. Farrow changed his name to Seamus Ronan Farrow after Woody took off; now he's known as Ronan Seamus and he's a prodigy to boot, having gone to college at the age of 11 and securing an acceptance into Yale Law School at 15. He changed his name because, as his mom once put it, "when he kept getting state awards for his top grades they kept calling him Seem-us."
