		Allen, who spends much of her time in a wheelchair, had no idea the rest of the money was donated until care workers surprised her with the van later in the day.
		Allen, who Guinness World Records recognizes as the world's tallest woman, needed the van after a vehicle she had previously used was stolen in August, Indianapolis-based RTV6 reported.
		Allen's van is designed for the disabled, with a rear wheelchair loader and an extra-high ceiling that allows her to sit up straight -- something her previous van couldn't do.

		Sandy is followed everywhere by autograph-hunters and wannabe actors, and harassed for charitable donations.
		In interviews, though, Allen makes the very sensible point that, if he really did hate his fans, he would not be so stupid as to reveal it in one of his films.
		I think Stardust Memories self-referentially represents Allen's perplexity and defiance at the negative reaction to Interiors (the autobiographical element), and is a comic portrait of a consciously exaggerated celebrity lifestyle (essentially non-autobiographical).

		Sandy's "funny" comment is not a put-down of interpretation; rather it is an answer, however brief, to the question of what he meant to say in his movies.
		Allen himself mentions that the protagonist is a professor of German philosophy, and so "I was trying to find someone fitting as an artist." And a painting of a pregnant woman calls up memories for the professor of her own aborted pregnancy.
		Allen derives his title, as he indicates by the epigram at the beginning of his book, from a poem by Emily Dickinson in which she writes that "Hope is the thing with feathers." Something without feathers is therefore without hope.

	Stardust Memories (1980)
		Allen takes Fellini's 8 ½, adds in his trademark sarcastic humor and self-obsession, and comes up with an amusing and intelligent film.
		His Sandy Bates whines and pouts through the adoration of the masses, suffering love with all the wrong women, and cursed with the existential search for meaning — yet his saving grace is the ability to make a wise quip.
		Allen uses washed-out, fl-and-white cinematography and a cast of grotesques to seamlessly blend dreams and hallucinations with "reality," giving a surreal quality to the entire experience.

		In a sense, Allen is certainly not an `intellectual' filmmaker in the same vein as Fellini, Kurasawa, Wells, or Kubrick, as many of his movies can be seen as relatively easy parodies with a bit more realism and a much lower budget than similar movies by Mel Brooks.
		Allen gives homage to Fellini as he stars as a successful film director besieged by fans and critic who enjoy his earlier, funnier work.
		Allen engages in a lot of self indulgent moping about and skirt chasing of groupies have his age.

	Stardust Memories
		Auty wrote: “Woody Allen, for the first time, pisses on the integrity of his audience and their world.” The oft-cited critical comparison with Fellini’s 8½ (1963) was certainly to be felt in the seaside setting—“little old decaying hotels and awnings” (Sandy)—the conflicted genius, and the constant human carnival.
		Allen’s one concession to her sexual identity—“I hope you’ve brought your little white cotton socks”—infantilizes her just as he would infantilize Farrow in film after film.
		At the end of Allen’s film Sandy is no longer on the train with the grotesques wishing he was in the passing carriage from which sex kitten Sharon Stone blows him a kiss.

	The DVD Journal: Stardust Memories
		Allen and cinematographer Gordon Willis out-Fellini Fellini here, shooting in fl and white, boldly lighting the bizarre faces of their extras, and masterfully arranging large crowds for maximum comic/narrative impact.
		Sandy Bates' early comedies — "highlights" from which are shown at the festival-within-a-movie — are sort of lame and cheap-looking and badly composed but still, somehow, amusing; in other words, they're just like Allen's early comedies.
		As Stardust Memories opens, Sandy Bates is grappling with the studios over his latest film, which is deeply (and ham-fistedly) serious and symbolic (touches of Sullivan's Travels?) and involves train passengers at a garbage dump.

		Sandy no longer finds any personal satisfaction in his achievements or in his current relationships.
		Though the director has denied it, many critics felt Allen was using this film to express his disgust with his audience, the critics, and the film industry in general.
