There had been occasional blips of disharmony on the screen of their relationship. Woody had worried in 1985 when Mia decided to adopt an eighth child-and a few months ago, he told syndicated columnist Liz Smith that he opposed her intent to adopt two more, both with disabilities.

Did he threaten to take the money and run? Or was she the one guilty of crimes and misdemeanors?
