Woody Allen (Allan Stewart Konigsberg) is 81 years old today.

Allen performed card and magic tricks in his youth and underwent the legal
process of changing his name to Heywood Allen when he was 17.

He often played up his neurotic personality for laughs in his films, but was
also open about his extensive stint in psychoanalysis.
