M
Mia Farrow (born February 9, 1945 in Los Angeles,
California) is an United States|American actress. 
Farrow was born Maria de Lourdes Villiers Farrow
but has always been known as Mia.  She is the
daughter of film director|director John Farrow and
his wife, actress Maureen O'Sullivan.

==Personal==
Farrow married Frank Sinatra on July 19 1966.
While working on the film Rosemary's Baby with
director Roman Polanski, Sinatra served her
divorce papers in front of the cast and crew. The
divorce came as a surprise to Mia, who did not
even know Frank was thinking of leaving her. They
divorced in 1968.

Farrow married André Previn in 1970. They had
three biological children (twins Matthew and
Sascha, born in 1970; and Fletcher, born in 1974)
together and adopted three children from Korea,
Soon-Yi, Lark Song, and Daisy. Andre and Mia
divorced in 1979.

Next, Farrow lived with but did not marry Woody
Allen, and by him had one biological son, Satchel
(born in 1987, and is now called Seamus Farrow). 
They also adopted a son and daughter together. 
After their separation, Farrow accused Allen of
Sexual abuse#Child sexual abuse|child molestation
on a U.S.-televised interview.  She claimed to
having witnessed Allen abusing one of their
youngest adopted children. Allen became infamously
tainted for a time afterward, having somewhat
confirmed Farrow's accusations by his open
relationship with one of her adopted teenage
daughters, Soon-Yi Previn.

Farrow continued to adopt children as a sole
parent, is active in agencies that encourage
adoptions and is a UNICEF Special Representative. 
By 1994, Farrow had 14 children, 9 of them
adopted: 6 from her marriage with André Previn (3
adopted) and 3 from her time with Woody Allen (2
adopted).

Farrow's adopted daughter Tam Farrow died of a
heart ailment at age 19 in March 2000.
