I agree 100 % that you have gone off into "pure speculation mode" regarding Mia Farrow perhaps because you spent so little time researching her. An October 2013 article in Vanity Fair might change your mind about Miia for starters although there is much more to explore.

I am a contemporary of Ms. Farrow and we both suffered polio in the same year and birthed our boys in the same week. She was an incredible sensation in the 1960s . Her pixie haircut was more likely influenced by the English model Twiggy and while she might have first cut off her gorgeous long blond hair with nail clippers, all photos show a professional pixie cut for several years until she let it grow out for her performance of Joan of Arc and never went back to short hair. She had been model in California as a teenager at the same time Twiggy became an overnite sensation on both sides of the pond and Mia was often compared to her. While still in her teens she began her successful 5 year stint in the very popular TV series Peyton Place watched faiithfully by teens such as myself along with our mothers. Frank Sinatra was at his peak professionally at the same time and swept this Catholic girl , still a virgin , off her feet at age 21. Despite divorce and two more marriages for each of them, they stayed friends and lovers till his death. Perhaps once imprinted on an older man, she contined her attraction to much older men. Her performance in Rosemary' s Baby electrified moviegoers and launched her film career. She had 3 children with her second husband Andre Previn and together they adopted 3 more children and thus her role as earth mother began. She managed to balance motherhood with acting while married to Woody Allen wherein she had her first personal experience with sexual deviancy by all accounts. Who would have thunk? Woody was at the height of his powers also at the time, had bedded and wedded beautiful women and was generally viewed as a neurotic but lovable and talented film director and actor. Folks were as upset about the sex abuse allegations and even more shocked by his affair and marriage to his adoptive daughter as Mia was shocked. Aside from a few discreet affairs with another round of older and accomplished men, Mia became devoted to her children, which included one more biological son Ronan and some more adoptions reaching a total of 14. Her acting career fell by the wayside as she embarked on genuine advocacy for the damaged lives of children in Africa. Her adopted children were quite damaged themselves through abandonment, or blindness or cerebral palsey, starvation or paraplegia. Despite the premature deaths of three out of 14 in a modern world plagued by drugs and AIDs, ( think of the Kennedy clan's tragedies) the rest of her brood live very successful lives .

I would speculate that her defense of Roman Polanski who launched her movie career was based upon loyalty to a mentor and friend and that his derelictions are forgiven in light of the horror of the murders of his wife and friends commonly referred to as the Tate Murders. I could certainly envision Mia being genuinely protective of him out of compassion rather than an affinity towards pedophlia.

This theory of MK Ultra control of Mia by Frank has no basis in fact. Sinatra's starring role in the Manchurian Candidate did not celebrate mind control but instead exposed it as rumors of nefarious CIA mind control experiments began to circulate.

As for the insinuation of perforated colons, be advised that tuberculosis attacked the intestines as much as it attacked the lungs. And there were no antibiotics in the days that Mia's paternal grandmother suffered and ultimately died from this very common and dreaded disease.

We are uncovering real horrors here but please dont let a fertile imagination indict persons on such flimsey associations.

I think it's good to have a rebuttal so that people can look into things further, read both sides and judge for themselves.

The first part of my post contained history of the family and factual information that I believe not a lot of people are aware of. Much has been reported about what a saint Mia is and how she was a victim of Woody Allen, while more unflattering things tend to go unreported. Have you read this statement released a couple of months ago from her son Moses where he accuses Mia of abuse?

I was very upfront that the latter part of my post was pure speculation, but your defense of her is quite biased and almost reads like something a publicist would write. Incredible Sensation? Earth mother? A few discreet affairs with accomplished men? Devoted to her children? A catholic virgin until she married Sinatra? You don't know these things to be true, you are speculating also. Seems like you have a quite a "fertile imagination" too.

I'm not going to change your mind and your not going to change mine, but you don't have to be such a condescending ass about it just because I dug further into the life of one of your personal heroes.

I relied on facts reported in the media. She is not a hero of mine altho I do admire her. Since I was a contemporay of hers, I can report on her life as others reported on her over the decades. The terms I applied to her were terms used by the media. She was indeed a sensation in her day for better or worse. Her affair with Andre Previn was scandalous at the time as she conceived her twins out of wedlock and broke up Previn's marriage none of which causes a stir nowadays. Sinatra, Previn and Woody Allen were much older and accomplished, how can you say they were not? She had flings with renowned author Philip Roth and with Havel both of whom were again much older and accomplished.

Her remaining 11 children live professional and successful lives according to the Vanity Fair article, facts which I presume came from the doting mother herself when interviewed. Her relationship with Polansky predated his dastardly deeds which seem less harmful than Woody Allen's who took advantage of his young child (5 yo?) and then his own adopted daughter, thus committing incest. So she most likely came to Polansky's defense out of friendship which is what friends tend to do even when ill advised, not because she endorses pedophelia or has an affinity for it.

By the way there is a much publicized photo of Jeffrey Epstein on the streets of NYC with a very young girl. Nobody has pointed out that a few paces behind him is Woody Allen and his wife/daughter. Was that a coincidence? Do they socialize? Has Epstein ever provided young girls for Woody?

I apologize for the condescending attitude and at the same time thank you for the film footage which I had not seen before. Perhaps your second installment will prove me wrong.

I appreciate the apology. It's just hard to put a lot work into researching something, connecting dots, spending the time to write it all out, include all the links etc. and then be told things from other posters things like nice screenplay, I have a fertile imagination etc. While so many posts with one link and a sentence get twice the recognition. Okay, I know, I am sounding like a whiny, salty brat right now...but it really doesn't help my motivation to want to spend quite a bit of my time and energy doing a part two.

Pizzagate was started by speculation of the Podesta e-mails and the true meaning of the coded language it contained and linking people together. We get enough flack from the outside about our crazy imaginations. One thing we all have in common is that we are skeptical people, who don't just believe everything the media or anyone else tells us. I'm not looking for everyone to take what I laid out as complete truth and am fine with debating and questioning of my interpretation. Just as long as it s a well thought out rebuttal and not just a personal attack. And in your defense you did take the time to put together the reasons as to why you thought I was wrong, it just went a little south towards the end.

It's all good, I don't want any division, just unity. We all may not agree on everything, but members here do agree on the one most important thing and that is we need to get justice for these children and that's a battle I am proud to fight with you.

I concur...I get a little anal about proofs, thats my job /career and I do care how we look to outsiders. Building credibility is important to keep in mind when posting. As I have said several times here that I dont post because it takes hard work. And hunches undoubtedly can lead to valuable evidence so.keep up the good work.
