Allen was to serve as a judge for the £30,000 Orange Prize for Fiction, which deals with handing out the prize for the U.K.’s most prestigious literary award for female authors. Previous winners include Zadie Smith. But Allen, who's been recently thought of as seeming depressed and down since her unexpected miscarriage of her first-child-to-be, didn't show up to their meeting this past week, choosing instead to send her mother, Alison Owen, along in her place. A spokesman for the awards insists Allen had a valid reason for her absence, saying, "Actually she was feeling depressed, but she did call us by phone."
