Drama and deceit mark Mia Farrow’s incredible life

We'd all gotten over the whole Mia Farrow / Woody Allen / Soon Yi Previn thing.

We’d all moved on. Woody and Soon Yi have been together two decades now, and Mia lives in pastoral idyll in rural Connecticut. The hoo-ha of 1992 and its subsequent court case had largely been forgotten, especially in light of Allen’s brilliant latest film, Blue Jasmine. Once again, it’s all about Woody, and his genius.

Until, that is, November’s edition of Vanity Fair. In it, Mia Farrow suggests what family photos have been suggesting all along — that the father of her 25-year-old son Ronan is not Woody Allen, but Frank Sinatra. Young blue eyes Ronan Farrow does not appear to contain a single drop of Allen DNA, and his mother confirms – amongst other things – that her relationship with Sinatra never really ended, even though their marriage in the 1960s was short lived. That they had “never really split up” and that Sinatra may have fathered Ronan — her only biological child with Allen — when Sinatra was 72.
