Veteran actor Anjelica Huston says if given a chance, she would not even think for a second before agreeing to work with embattled filmmaker Woody Allen.
There has been renewed focus on the director in the wake of Harvey Weinstein scandal, which gave birth to the #MeToo movement in October 2017.
Dylan, Allen's adopted daughter with former partner Mia Farrow, accused the director of sexually abusing her in the early 1990s while she was a child. She reiterated her allegations in a 2014 New York Times op-ed and other articles.
Huston, 67, worked with Allen on two films -- "Crimes and Misdemeanors" (1989), which also featured Mia Farrow, and "Manhattan Murder Mystery" (1993).
In a wide-ranging interview with Vulture, Huston came to Allen's defence, saying he has not been able to make films ever since the claims resurfaced. She said the director was investigated for his alleged crimes but no court found him guilty.
"I think that's after two states investigated him, and neither of them prosecuted him," she said.
Asked whether she would be open to working with Allen again, Huston said, "Yeah, in a second."
