There is no shortage of jilted husbands out there. As Manhattan divorce lawyer Eleanor Alter, who represented Mia Farrow in her proceedings against Woody Allen, puts it, "In most divorces, the fault is not so unequal. Two people have a drink together and they misbehave. Two people drift apart. These aren't heinous things. That's life...
Although most people are preoccupied with just one of her paramours, the twice-married MIA FARROW will cover them all in her memoir. And for sheer eccentricity, even Woody Allen has nothing on Farrow's buddy when she was 17: Salvador Dali.

...moment equate capital crimes with romantic misdemeanors. Still, there's something icky in Allen's compulsion to write scripts about fiftysomething guys ready to dump their wives for nubile waifs the approximate age of Soon-Yi Farrow Previn. This is the plot of Allen's 1992 Husbands and Wives, of his brutally funny playlet in the off-Broadway Death Defying Acts, and of his exasperating, finally engaging new film, Mighty Aphrodite...
