Born in Los Angeles, Mia Farrow is the daughter of director John Farrow and actress Maureen O’ Sullivan. She made her stage debut in 1963, shortly after the death of her father, in an off-Broadway production of “The Importance of Being Earnest,” following that with her first screen appearance a year later. Her career was spurred by a two-year stint on the soap opera PEYTON PLACE, but was first really given recognition in Roman Polanski’s ROSEMARY’S BABY (1968), where she co-starred with the maverick filmmaker John Cassavetes and received glowing reviews. Following that, she showed her talent on TV, in the theatre, and in such memorable films as THE GREAT GATSBY (1974) and DEATH ON THE NILE (1978), among others.

It wasn’t until 1982 that she became Woody Allen’s muse following the film A MIDSUMMER NIGHT’S SEX COMEDY. After that, Allen wrote many other roles for her in films such as HANNAH AND HER SISTERS (1986), CRIMES AND MISDEMEANORS (1989), HUSBANDS AND WIVES (1992), SHADOWS AND FOG (1992), and ALICE (1990), for which she was honored with an NBR Award for best actress. In 1997, she published her New York Times best-selling memoir, “What Falls Away.” More recently Mia has been seen on the stage, appearing in James Lapine’s “Fran’s Bed” at the Long Wharf Theater in New Haven, and Jessica Blake and Eric Jensen’s “The Exonerated.” Earlier this year, she starred in THE OMEN with Liev Schreiber and Julia Stiles and as “Granny” in Luc Besson’s ARTHUR AND THE INVISIBLES. Mia has just finished working on Michel Gondry’s movie BE KIND REWIND.
