The Life of Legendary MASH* Actor Alan Alda

In 1996, Alda appeared in Woody Allen’s musical comedy Everyone Says I Love You. The film marked the third Allen-directed movie in which he had acted, following Crimes and Misdemeanors and Manhattan Murder Mystery.

The role continued his connection to urbane ensemble comedies during the 1990s. At the time, it fit naturally into his character-actor phase, though that professional association would later draw renewed scrutiny as Allen’s public reputation changed.
