She called the idea of linking them a great one and even suggested ways to make an introduction smoother. The emails highlight Epstein's push to host Allen and his wife, Soon, E. Previn, at a party in December 2010. Segal also recommended inviting Allen's art dealer friend to help ease any tensions. These disclosures have damaged Segal's standing in Hollywood.
