Description

In this memoir, Mia Farrow takes us on a journey into her life. As the daughter of actress Maureen O Sullivan and film director John Farrow, she lived what was by all appearances a charmed and privileged childhood. But below the surface, money troubles, marital tensions, drinking, and occasionally violence marred the Hollywood illusion. When Mia was nine, the isolation of a polio ward brought her childhood to an abrupt end. Her father s death propelled her out into the world, where she embarked on an acting career that included television, theatre and film – from her debut in Peyton Place to her first starring role in Rosemary s Baby , and on to her 13 films with Woody Allen. Farrow explores her spiritual journey and includes a candid examination of her marriages to Frank Sinatra and Andre Previn and her close but troubled 12-year relationship with Woody Allen.
