Is Allen Greene from the movie The Shawshank Redemption a real person?
Allen Greene was a real person. I was in high school with him. He graduated from North Greene High School in White Hall, IL in 1971.
The name of the school district and the county in which it is located are named after the Greene family from which he descended.
I was a few years behind him in school but I remember in those days, he owned a movie camera and he and his friends were “making movies” even then. He was very interested in working in the film industry. Allen Greene was a former agent and close personal friend of Frank Darabont (the movie director).

We had a nice, albeit strange, chat; he provided intimate details details I neither asked for nor wanted to know about how he did not feel his age.
Anyway, it was entertaining, and these surprising, random and overwhelmingly positive moments are regular experiences on Taipei’s hiking trails.
