Woody Allen's forgotten first wife who he dubbed 'Quasimodo' in his nightclub act breaks her silence after nearly 50 years. Harlene Rosen was 16 when she married Woody Allen before he was famous in 1956. Their relationship turned sour when Allen began mocking a 'generic wife' on stage and TV.

semi-old folk here... 16 at that time was quite normal for girls to get married. at 16 during that time we were much more mature, and young men were going off to war at 18. I had many friends who got married at 16. i was married at 18. Today its different but back then... my mother in law was married and had a child at 15. no one really thought anything about it back then.

I know. It happened in the Old Country from where I came. And you are right times have changed. People were brought up differently for reasons. But there are many that are after other things than just a good life together.
