Austin television personality Carolyn Jackson interviews Woody Allen in conjunction with the release of his film Annie Hall. Conversation topics include which hat Allen prefers to wear (writer, actor, or director), audience appeal of his films, his unusual feelings toward promoting his films, and why he finds television to be 'soul deadening.' The interview concludes with a discussion of Allen and Jackson's shared love of playing the clarinet and why they will not be scheduling a date to perform together.

Carolyn Jackson was on the air in Austin as a daytime lifestyle show host during the late 1960s and 1970s. She began her broadcast career when she joined KTBC in 1968 as the host of Women's World, which was later renamed The Carolyn Jackson Show. In the late 1970s, Jackson moved the show to KTVV (now NBC affiliate KXAN.) These excerpts represent a small sample of Jackson's work. The bulk of her collection is made up of interviews with Texas personalities or from Hollywood film release press junkets, but the collection also includes feature stories, outtakes, and behind the scenes clips.
