Woody Allen’s Letter to Jeffrey Epstein Revealed: Meeting at “Dracula’s Castle” With “Young Vampires”
According to CinemaDrame News Agency, The New York Times published additional documents related to Jeffrey Epstein, the accused sex trafficker, on Tuesday. These documents include previously unseen letters from prominent figures such as Woody Allen to Epstein, as well as photographs from one of Epstein’s seven-story mansions in Manhattan.
According to the New York Times report, these letters were among the gifts Epstein received for his 63rd birthday in 2016. The release of these documents comes amid renewed speculation about Epstein’s connections to then-U.S. President Donald Trump.
One letter was sent to Epstein by former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak, who wrote: “To many you are like a closed book, but you know everything about everyone.” Barak described Epstein as a “gatherer of people,” and continued: “May you have a long life and good health, and may we, your friends, continue to enjoy your table for years to come.”
Woody Allen, director of Manhattan, Midnight in Paris, and Annie Hall, in another letter, reminisced about Epstein’s dinner parties on New York’s Upper East Side, calling them “always fascinating.” He wrote that at these gatherings, he encountered “politicians, scientists, teachers, magicians, comedians, intellectuals,” and “even members of royal families.”
Allen went on to say that these parties—“often with professional staff, and often with several young women”—reminded him of “Dracula’s castle” in the film Dracula: “where [Bela] Lugosi has three young female vampires at his service.”
In addition to these letters, the New York Times published photographs of Epstein’s seven-story Manhattan mansion, where a first edition of the controversial novel Lolita—about a middle-aged man’s obsession with a 12-year-old girl—was on display.
The published images show Epstein alongside figures such as Mick Jagger, Elon Musk, Fidel Castro, Bill Clinton, Larry Summers, Richard Branson, Mohammed bin Salman, and Steve Bannon. One frame features a one-dollar bill signed by “Bill Gates” with the message “I was wrong!” which, according to the New York Times, the Microsoft founder likely gave Epstein after losing a bet.
