		Jean Doumanian, who was once Woody Allen's best friend and film producer and defendant in his lawsuit is ready to talk -- about most things.
		Woody Allen took the stand on Monday in his civil suit against his longtime friend and former producer, Jean Doumanian.

		Allen says it was Jean Doumanian, the former best friend and producer he trusted implicitly - and who he now charges cheated him out of more than $12 million in movie profits since 1993.
		Doumanian's side agrees Allen was tricked - but not by her.
		Doumanian's side said Joffe no longer works with Allen, and the director dumped Cohn, his agent of over 30 years who also once repped Meryl Streep, in 1998.

		Doumanian, a slim woman of sixty-eight, is a producer of Broadway's "Frankie and Johnny in the Clair de Lune" and the new film "All the Real Girls." The evening was mostly questions and answers, as Doumanian's presentation—an impressionistic tour of her résumé—ended after seven minutes.
		In Doumanian's case, those people were her wealthy boyfriend, Jaqui Safra, and Woody Allen.
		That trilateral relationship began in 1993, when Doumanian used a small part of Safra's fortune to bankroll Allen's film "Bullets Over Broadway," and ended eight films later, in 2001, when Allen sued her and Safra, claiming he'd been cheated out of about fifteen million dollars.

	Woody Allen \| Jean Doumanian \| movies : ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY
		Woody Allen and producer-turned-defendant Jean Doumanian didn't exactly patch up their friendship, but they did reach a settlement on Tuesday, bringing an abrupt end to the nine-day New York courtroom battle over the filmmaker's contention that Doumanian cheated him out of $14 million.
		Even as Allen accused Doumanian of accounting chicanery in her deals to produce eight of his recent movies (from 1994's ''Bullets Over Broadway'' to 2000's ''Small Time Crooks''), he had hoped that he could maintain their 40-year friendship.
		Doumanian had contended that she and her boyfriend and producing partner, Jacqui Safra, had done Allen a favor by financing his movies after his longtime studio Tri-Star got cold feet in the wake of the scandal over his break-up with Mia Farrow and his affair with her daughter, Soon-Yi Previn (now Allen's wife).

		On an autumn morning in 1980, the phone of talent coordinator Neil Levy began ringing off the hook.
		At the time, Rocket reportedly justified his action, pointing out that musical guest Prince had performed "Partyup" earlier on that very same broadcast; the song featured the line "Fightin’ war is such a fuckin’ bore." Despite his release, Rocket appeared in the next episode anyway, his performance clearly affected by his termination.
		He created some of the period's best characters, including the empty-headed former child movie star Buckwheat and an irascible, life-size version of the Gumby toy character, complete with life-size star ego.
