Tony Roberts, ‘Annie Hall’ Actor and Broadway Star, Dies at 85
Tony Roberts, who starred in 'Annie Hall' and other Woody Allen films and was a Broadway stalwart, died Friday in New York. He was 85.
Roberts appeared in six film directed by Woody Allen: “Play It Again, Sam” (1972), “Annie Hall” (1977), “Stardust Memories” (1980), “A Midsummer Night’s Sex Comedy” (1982), “Hannah and Her Sisters” (1986) and “Radio Days” (1987). He had appeared about a year earlier in “Xanadu,” Douglas Carter Beane’s cleverly meta adaptation of the cheesy 1980 film starring Olivia Newton John and Gene Kelly, which ran for 512 performances from July 2007 to September 2008. Other highlights of his Broadway career include Woody Allen play “Don’t Drink the Water”; musical comedy “Sugar,” an adaptation of Billy Wilder’s “Some Like It Hot”; Alan Ayckbourn’s “Absurd Person Singular”; “Victor/Victoria”; and “The Tale of the Allergist’s Wife.”
