Never, well hardly ever, does Woody Allen, 49, drop hints about his forthcoming movies, perhaps having learned that skillfully shunning publicity actually produces more of it. But the writer-director last week was willing to talk, a little, about his next film, Hannah and Her Sisters, in which he stars with his longtime love, Mia Farrow, 40, as Hannah and Barbara Hershey and Dianne Wiest as the sisters. The plot is still Allen's deep secret, but he admits to having a continuing fascination with Farrows. "For years, Mia's family has been lucky for me," he said. "One of her sisters (Tisa) was in Manhattan, another of her sisters (Stephanie) was in The Purple Rose of Cairo. Mia has been in my last five pictures. Her mother (Maureen O'Sullivan) is in this picture. We also shot a large section of the picture in her apartment, which is perfect for me because I always go over there anyhow."
