Mia Farrow






I'm going to start off in a positive vein.  I believe Mia Farrow far surpasses Diane Keaton in the variety and depth of her roles in Woody Allen's movies.  To compare her performances in "Broadway Danny Rose" and "Hannah and Her Sisters", for example,explains it all.
However, she wasn't exactly un-connected in Hollywood.  Her father John Farrow, was an acclaimed director.  Her mother Maureen O'Sullivan was the original Jane in Tarzan movies.
John and Maureen had seven children together.   They reared them in a very traditional Roman Catholic home.  I guess that's why Mia picked Frank Sinatra, almost thirty years her senior to be her first husband.  After all, he had once won the Catholic Father of the Year Award.  That was right before he left his wife to screw Ava Gardner.  Talk about Woody Allen and young girls.
From Frank she moved on to the famous composer, Andre Previn, whose wife Dory wrote a scathing book about how Mia broke up her marriage.  A young vixen.
With a couple of days with nothing to do, she moved in with Woody Allen, with whom she did have one biological child as well as touring the world to find other children to adopt.  After all, there were no needy children in this country, who might have benefitted from millionaire parents. 
Apparently, she was the role model for the adopted daughter, that eventually married Woody.  After all, she only married old men.  She just forgot to marry Mr. Allen because her religious up-bringing didn't mention anything about "living in sin." 
As they say, "What goes around cums (I mean comes) around."
