Woody Allen and Scarlett Johansson filming 'Match Point'.
Scarlett Johansson personified sex appeal in the 2005 drama 'Match Point' and fast became an Allen favourite, also starring in 'Scoop' and 'Vicky Cristina Barcelona'.
Allen's ex-girlfriend Mia Farrow was also his longtime muse, starring in 'Hannah and Her Sisters', 'Radio Days' (pictured), 'Crimes and Misdemeanours' and countless others.

As Picasso's mistress Adriana in the romanticised semi-historical flick 'Midnight in Paris', Cotillard is mesmerising and quintessentially French.
Meryl Streep was a relative unknown when Allen cast her as his ex-wife in 1979's 'Manhattan'.
Allen's lifelong friend Diane Keaton created a generation of style copycats as Annie Hall in 'Annie Hall' – a role written specifically for her.

British actress Rebecca Hall was captivating as a restrained woman who comes to life in Spain in 'Vicky Cristina Barcelona'.
