Son wished Woody Allen dead

Woody Allen's adopted son, enraged by his father's affair with the boy's older sister, wrote an anguished letter saying he wished the actor would kill himself, according to evidence presented in court Tuesday.

"If you take us to court you are the one who is going to be sorry," said the letter purportedly from Moses Farrow. "I hope you get so humiliated that you commit suicide."

The undated letter was shown as Allen was cross-examined on the third day of his fight to get custody of 14-year-old Moses, 7-year-old Dylan and 5-year-old Satchel.

Farrow, who had a 12-year relationship on- and off-screen with Allen, sat staring at her ex-lover or scribbling notes during his time on the stand.

The six-paragraph letter, addressed to "Woody" but not signed, was read at the hearing by Farrow's lawyer, Eleanor Alter, after Allen testified he didn't remember its contents. Allen's affair with 22-year-old Soon-Yi Previn, Farrow's adopted daughter, apparently prompted the missive.

"Everyone knows not to have an affair with your son's sister including that sister," the letter said. "I just want you to know I don't consider you my father anymore."
