Mia Farrow says her son, Ronan, isn't Woody Allen's, but 'possibly' fathered by Frank Sinatra in stunning Vanity Fair reveal
With his bright blue eyes and roguish good looks, Ronan Farrow has never much looked his father, Woody Allen. His does, however, bear an uncanny resemblance to Frank Sinatra
NEW YORK — With his bright blue eyes and roguish good looks, Ronan Farrow has never much looked his father, Woody Allen. His does, however, bear an uncanny resemblance to Frank Sinatra, the first husband of his mother, Mia Farrow.
Now the actress has explained that there may be a very good reason for this: he could be the son of Ol' Blue Eyes himself.
Responding to years of speculation, Farrow told Vanity Fair that her 25-year-old son was "possibly" fathered by Sinatra, from whom she said she "never really split up" after their divorce in 1968. Sinatra's daughter, Nancy, confirmed that Ronan Farrow was treated as a member of her family. "He is a big part of us, and we are blessed to have him in our lives," she said.
Making light of the disclosures, Farrow wrote on Twitter: "Listen, we're all possibly Frank Sinatra's son."
Listen, we're all *possibly* Frank Sinatra's son.

His mother married Sinatra, who was 29 years her senior, in Las Vegas in 1966. However he demanded a divorce two years later while she was filming Rosemary's Baby , the acclaimed thriller.
Farrow went on to have a nine-year marriage to Andre Previn, the pianist and composer, before embarking on a 12-year relationship with Allen, while also starring in his films, in the 1980s.
The couple were never married and their relationship ended in notoriously acrimonious circumstances, when Allen had an affair with Soon-Yi Previn, one of Farrow and Previn's adopted daughters.
The Farrows have never forgiven Allen, 77, who married Previn, now 42, in 1997 and has two adopted daughters with her.
Ronan Farrow, a Yale University graduate, human rights activist and former youth advisor to Hillary Clinton, has repeatedly criticized Allen in recent years. "Happy father's day — or as they call it in my family, happy brother-in-law's day," he wrote on Twitter in June last year. He has described Allen's actions as "a moral transgression".
Named Satchel Ronan O'Sullivan Farrow when he was born in 1987, Mr Farrow was presumed to be the sole biological child of Allen and Farrow. The couple also adopted two children. In all, Farrow has four biological children and nine adopted children. Two other adopted children have died.
The Vanity Fair article, based on interviews with Farrow and several of her children, reopened several family wounds. Dylan Farrow, Allen and Farrow's adopted daughter, used it to revive allegations that she was sexually molested by Allen as a young girl.
"I was seven," she said. "I was doing it because I was scared. I wanted it to stop." She assumed "this was how fathers treated their daughters," she said.
"This was normal interaction, and I was not normal for feeling uncomfortable about it." Following an investigation by child services officials, no charges were brought against Allen. His lawyer said he continued to deny the allegations.
Dylan Farrow added that Allen had attempted to contact her twice, but that she refused to have any contact with him or even to say his name. "I'm scared of him; his image," she said. Fletcher Previn, another of Farrow's sons, said he had "Photoshopped" Allen out of every family photograph and edited him out of family videos, so that they would never have to see him again.
Meanwhile, Previn, said of Soon-Yi Previn, his adopted daughter and Allen's wife: "She does not exist."
