Love and Betrayal: The Mia Farrow Story is a 1995 American drama miniseries directed by Karen Arthur and written by Cynthia A. Cherbak. The film stars Patsy Kensit, Dennis Boutsikaris, Richard Muenz, Robert LuPone, Gina Wilkinson and Frances Helm. The film aired on Fox in two parts on February 28, 1995, and on March 2, 1995.[1][2][3]
In 2016, Dennis Boutsikaris, who played Woody Allen in Love and Betrayal, wrote an article titled "How I Tried to Not Embarrass Myself Playing Woody Allen in a ’90s TV Biopic." Recalling a producer who told him, “We don’t want an imitation, we want a suggestion,” Boutsikaris noted, "On re-watching the film 22 years later, one or two of the scenes make me feel like, yes, against all odds, I actually pulled off something between a "suggestion" and a human being. Other moments, I want to crawl under the DVR and wait for the all-clear siren." [4]
