Woody Allen — long shadowed by allegations of child abuse — once sent Jeffrey Epstein a birthday letter comparing the convicted sex offender’s dinner parties to something out of Dracula’s castle, according to reports.
The New York Times published a new selection of letters and photographs on Tuesday belonging to the convicted pedophile Epstein.
Among them is a letter said to be from the four-time Oscar-winning filmmaker Allen from January 2016, which compares Epstein to Count Dracula and his “young female” servants to vampires.
Independent report: The note says that the writer and his wife Soon Yi had been invited for dinner at Jeffrey Epstein’s house “many times”.
They “always accept” the invitations, the letter goes on to say, because it is “always interesting” due to the varied and eminent company they expect to find there and because the food is always “sumptuous and abundant” and “well served.”
“I say well served – often it’s by some professional houseman and just as often by several young women reminding one of Castle Dracula where [Bela] Lugosi has three young female vampires who service the place,” the letter continues, referring to the Hungarian-American actor who played the role in the 1931 film.
“Add to this that Jeffrey lives in a vast house alone, one can picture him sleeping in damp earth.”
Among the other guests were “a list of accomplished types, men and women in journalism, in TV, even royalty”, the writer adds.
The letter goes on to describe the eccentricity of Epstein previously serving small portions and Chinese takeaway to his illustrious guests before adding: “The large phone and computer at his right hand does take some of the relaxed, home-cooking atmosphere out of it but one can’t have everything – not at Castle Dracula.”
A PDF of the signed letter is included in the article.
The photographs obtained by the newspaper reveal that the billionaire’s seven-storey mansion was decorated in eccentric fashion.
Among the more striking items on display are a stuffed tiger and a first edition of Vladimir Nabokov’s controversial 1955 novel Lolita — a story centered on a middle-aged man’s obsession with, and abuse of, a 12-year-old girl.
According to the report, the green first edition copy of Lolita was displayed prominently.
Framed photos of Epstein posing with some of the many famous people he knew – including Pope John Paul II, Elon Musk, and Fidel Castro – appear in a number of the rooms.
