Mia Farrow

Known for her intense performances onscreen, Mia Farrow first burst into public view as the star of the hugely popular primetime soap "Peyton Place" (ABC, 1964-69), followed by a career-making turn in Roman Polanski's horror classic "Rosemary's Baby" (1968). More notable roles followed in high-profile films such as "The Great Gatsby" (1974). It was, however, Farrow's extended relationship with revered filmmaker Woody Allen that would produce not only some of the actress' finest work - "Broadway Danny Rose" (1984), "Hannah and Her Sisters" (1986) and "Alice" (1990), among others. Farrow continued to act, although her humanitarian work in the East African region of Darfur and her own growing family clearly took precedence. Farrow was both a brilliant actress and a voice for children around the world.
