Rebecca Hall Says ‘I Don’t Regret Working With’ Woody Allen Despite Apologizing for It in 2018: Actors Shouldn’t Be ‘Judge and Jury on This’

Zack Sharf Digital News Director Rebecca Hall said in an interview with The Observer that she does not regret working with Woody Allen despite apologizing once for starring in “A Rainy Day in New York.” Hall has made two movies with Allen: “Vicky Cristina Barcelona” and “Rainy Day,” the latter of which she only filmed for one day.

Hall came forward in 2018 amid the #MeToo movement to apologize for working with Allen. At the time, Allen’s adopted daughter Dylan Farrow was criticizing Hollywood for continuing to work with Allen despite her allegation that he molested her as a child.

Hall admitted that Farrow’s new statements on the matter made her rethink her decision to work with Allen again, a choice she had “quickly said yes” to when it was offered because Allen “gave me one of my first significant roles” in “Vicky Cristina Barcelona” and “I have always been grateful.” “It was one day in my hometown – easy,” Hall wrote about starring in “Rainy Day. “I have, however subsequently realized there is nothing easy about any of this.

In the weeks following I have thought very deeply about this decision, and remain conflicted and saddened. I see, not only how complicated this matter is, but that my actions have made another woman feel silenced and dismissed.
