- Considered a 'genius' by some, at 11 years old he was the youngest student to ever attend Simon's Rock high school for gifted students, run by Bard College in Massachusetts. He then graduated from Bard with his B.A. degree at age 15.
- Son of Mia Farrow and Woody Allen.
- Is a Yale-trained lawyer, diplomat, author and, most recently, host of an MSNBC weekday TV show, who once worked for Undersecretary of State Richard Holbrooke, and later for Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. And like President Bill Clinton, he was also a Rhodes Scholar at Oxford University.
- Won the 2018 "Pulitzer Prize for Public Service" for his reporting with The New Yorker on the sexual assault allegations brought against Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein. Shared the honor with New York Times reporters Jodi Kantor and Megan Twohey, both of whom had also worked extensively on the Weinstein scandal.
- Sold his non-fiction, international affairs book to to Penguin publishing in fall, 2013. Based on his experience with his late mentor, former diplomat Richard Holbrooke, it deals with the negative consequences of America's support and often arming of some global "bad guys".
- [re father Woody Allen] He's my father married to my sister, Soon-Yi Previn. That makes me his son and his brother-in-law. That is such a moral transgression.
- I grew up in a family where you could never be the center of attention. I was pretty insulated from the entire Hollywood thing. We were every minority in the [small Connecticut] town.
- [observation: 2018] It's a classic authoritarian tactic to try to turn the public against the free press. But that's not to say that the media is without fault. I think some of the worst facets of the media environment - the partisanship and repetitiveness - have allowed those toxic and inaccurate narratives about fake news to thrive. So it doesn't come from nowhere, but it is grotesque how it's being weaponized against good reporters today.
