Filmmaker Woody Allen has settled his lawsuit with clothing company American Apparel, Inc. for $5 million.
The Annie Hall director, 73, filed suit last year, claiming advertising chiefs used his likeness on billboards without his consent.
He was depicted dressed as a rabbi in ads placed across New York and Los Angeles.
Standing with lawyers outside of Manhattan federal court on Monday, Allen told reporters, "I am told the settlement of $5 million I am being paid is the largest reported amount ever paid under the New York right-to-privacy law."
