Mara de Lourdes Villiers "Mia" Farrow (born February 9, 1945) is an American actress, activist, and former fashion model.

Farrow has appeared in more than 50 films and received numerous accolades, including a Golden Globe Award and three BAFTA Award nominations.

Farrow is also known for her extensive work as a UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador, which includes humanitarian efforts in Darfur, Chad, and the Central African Republic.

Farrow's eldest daughter, the eldest daughter of Australian writer John Farrow and Irish actress Maurice O'Sullivan, had a strict Catholic upbringing in Beverly Hills, California, according to Time magazine.

Allison MacKenzie, the television soap opera Peyton Place (1964–1966), was first recognized as a fashion model during her teenage years.

She received a Golden Globe Award for her second two-year marriage to Frank Sinatra, whom she married at the age of 21 in a credited feature film debut in Guns at Batasi (1964) and received additional accolades for her two-year marriage to Frank Sinatra, who died at the age of 21.

Early life

Maria de Lourdes Villiers Farrow was born in Los Angeles, California, on the third and eldest daughter of Australian film director John Farrow and his second wife, Maureen O'Sullivan.

She is one of seven children, with older brothers Michael Damien, Patrick young brother John Charles, and younger sisters Prudence, Stephanie, Tisa. George Cukor and columnist Louella Parsons were her godparents.

Farrow was raised in Beverly Hills, California, in a strict Catholic household. She was referred to by her family as an eccentric and imaginative child, and she would occasionally stage "toy daggers and fake blood" for passing celebrity tour buses. Unusual Occupations: Film Tot Holiday (1947), age two, made her film debut in a short documentary called "Unusual Occupations." Farrow received her primary education at Catholic parochial schools in Los Angeles.

She contracted polio during a disease outbreak in Los Angeles County that has claimed to have killed 500 people. She was held in a three-week isolation ward for three weeks, and later said the experience "marked the end of [her] childhood."

In 1958, the Farrow family migrated to Spain for a short time, where her father was filming John Paul Jones (1959). Farrow, who was 13 years old at the time, made a brief uncredited appearance in the film.

When Farrow and her sister Prudence were sent by a convent-operated boarding school in Surrey, England, her father completed post-production on John Paul Jones in London in September 1958.

Michael Farrow, Farrow's eldest brother, died in a plane crash near Pacoima, California, on October 28. Farrow returned to boarding school in Surrey after his burial. Her family stayed in the London Park Lane Hotel for a short time before buying a house in Chelsea. The father of Farrow began drinking heavily, which caused the marriage to be strained. When visiting their Chelsea home, Farrow recalled witnessing violent disputes between her parents.

When Farrow was 16, she and her family returned to the United States and continued her education at an all-girls Catholic preparatory school in Los Angeles, Marymount High School. (She was one of the country's most popular olumnaes.) During this period, her parents were struggling financially, and her mother moved to New York City to perform in Broadway shows. When she was 17 years old, Farrow's father lived in California, where he died as a result of a heart attack the next year.

Since her father's death, the family was left with little money, prompting Farrow to begin helping herself and her siblings. She began working as a fashion model. In a New York stage production of The Importance of Being Earnest, she appeared as a replacement.

Personal life

Though Mia Farrow has been scathing about the Catholic Church (particularly because she opposed the Pope for refusing to intervene in the Rwanda genocide), she has continued to be a devout Catholic (in particular, Farrow criticized the Pope for her inability to intervene in the genocide in Rwanda). In a 2013 interview with Piers Morgan, she said she has not "lost her faith in God." Farrow spent part of the year in Rishikesh, Uttarakhand, India, studying Transcendental Meditation. Because of the presence of all four members of the Beatles, Donovan, Mike Love, and her sister, Prudence Farrow, her tour attracted worldwide media attention at the time. Prudence's behavior during her sister Prudence's tour inspired John Lennon to write the song "Dear Prudence."

Farrow has stated that she has long been a registered Independent, but she has consistently voted for Democrats. Farrow publicly supported Democratic Party nominee Bernie Sanders in the 2016 Democratic presidential election, but she later stated that "as a pragmatist" she would vote for Hillary Clinton. During the 2020 Democratic Party presidential primaries, Farrow endorsed Joe Biden but later announced that if she were nominated, she would vote for Sanders.

At Jack Entratter's Las Vegas home on July 19, 1966, she married Frank Sinatra. Farrow was 21 years old; Sinatra was 50. Sinatra convinced Farrow to re-invent her acting career, which she reluctantly did not do. While shooting several films, she joined Sinatra, but she grew sick of doing nothing and went on to star in Roman Polanski's horror film Rosemary's Baby. Rosemary's Baby was shot later than the original schedule, angering Sinatra, who had cast Farrow in his film The Detective (1968). After Farrow's inability to attend filming, Sinatra cast actress Jacqueline Bisset played Farrow in Farrow's role. Sinatra's lawyer represented her with divorce papers in November 1967, while Farrow was filming Rosemary's Baby. In August 1968, the couple's divorce was finalized. When she married Sinatra, Farrow blamed the marriage's age difference and said she was an "impossibly immature teen." Before Sinatra's death, the two were best friends.

Farrow married conductor and composer André Previn in London on September 10, 1970. She was 25, and he was 41 years old. When Farrow was still married to his second wife, songwriter Dory Previn, he began a relationship with Previn. Previn left Dory and filed for divorce when Farrow became pregnant. In February 1970, Farrow gave birth to twin sons, and Previn's divorce from Dory became final in July 1970. Dory Previn produced "Beware of Young Girls," a scathing song about her husband's death to Farrow. In 1979, Previn and Farrow divorced.

Farrow began a friendship with film producer Woody Allen in 1980. Farrow appeared in thirteen of Allen's films, including, A Midsummer Night's Sex Comedy (1983), Zelig (1982), And The Purple Rose of Cairo (1985), and her final film with Allen, Husbands and Wives (1992). Several of her relatives appeared in Allen's films, including her mother, Maulene O'Sullivan in Hannah and Her Sisters. Allen's intimate friendship with Soon-Yi Previn (Farrow's adopted daughter, who was 21 years old at the time) came to an end in 1992.

Allen was out shopping at Farrow's farm in Bridgewater, Connecticut, on August 4, 1992, according to a legal testimony. A babysitter told Farrow that Allen was behaving strangely with the couple's then-seven-year-old adopted daughter, Dylan, on the following day. When Farrow approached Dylan about the suspected incident, he said Allen had touched her "private part" when the two were alone in the attic of the house. One of the women hired to care for Farrow's children said she had no idea where Dylan was located for about 20 minutes that afternoon, although a second said that Dylan had no underwear underneath her dress at one point. Farrow related the incident to the family's pediatrician, who in turn disclosed the allegations to authorities. Allen was warned of the charges on August 6. Allen filed a complete custody of his biological son, Satchel, and two of Farrow's adopted children, Dylan and Moses, with whom Allen had assumed a parental role.

Dylan, the lead doctor of Yale New Haven Hospital Child Sexual Abuse Clinic, John Leventhal, sworn testimony in March 1993, saying that he either invented the tale under the pressures of living in a volatile and unhealthy environment, or that it was planted in her head by her mother," in his opinion. Leventhal did not speak with Dylan before giving his testimony, but rather based on interviews conducted by others. The findings of the Yale New Haven Hospital team were criticized by the presiding judge and later by other experts in the field. The team's conduct, in particular, was seen as suspicious for making conclusive claims about innocence and guilt instead of reporting on behavior, for refusing to testify in court and in fact destroying all of its papers. Justice Elliott Wilk said the investigating team's conduct had "resulted in a report that was unnecessable, and consequently less reliable," and that its conclusions and statements had "exceed[ed] its mandate." "I am less certain, I am less certain, than the Yale-New Haven team, that the facts show there was no sexual assault."

Justice Wilk's final decision, which came in June 1993, said he found "no credible evidence to back Mr. Allen's assertion that Ms. Farrow taught Dylan or that Ms. Farrow retaliated against him for seducing Soon-Yi. Mr. Allen's use of the stereotypical'moment scorned' defense is an effective way to distract attention from his inability to act as a responsible parent and adult. Allen's request for complete custody and refused him visitation rights with Dylan was denied, but Ms. Farrow's testimony against Dylan was "probably inaccurate" and that steps must be taken to shield her." Despite having "probable cause," Frank Maco, the state's attorney, said he would not sue Allen in court for the molestation charges in September 1993, citing his and Farrow's refusal not to traumatize Dylan further.

Dylan reiterated her allegations of sexual assault against Allen in an open letter sent by Nicholas Kristof, a friend of Farrow, in his New York Times blog in February 2014. Allen denied the charges.

Allen has been defended by Yi Previn and Moses Farrow soon after being charged with violence. Moses Farrow formally stated in 2013 that Mia had conditioned her children to believe stories she created about Allen.

Moses wrote a long blog post in 2018 arguing for Allen's innocence. Moses outlined a string of instances of suspected physical assault suffered by Mia Farrow's hands in a blog post. "It pains me to recall instances when siblings, some blind or physically impaired, were dragged down a flight of stairs to be thrown into a closet or a closet, then being greeted with a door locked from outside." Moses wrote in part "It pains me to recall instances in which siblings, some blind or physically impaired, were dragged down a flight of stairs to be thrown into a closet or a closet. [Mia] Even locked my brother Thaddeus, who is unable to polio, in a outdoor shed overnight as punishment for a minor transgression.

"Soon-Yi was her most frequent scapegoat," Moses Farrow wrote about Mia Farrow and Soon-Yi Previn. (...) Mia Feti was also described as "their most common scapegoat." Luckily, it didn't happen, but the shattered pieces struck her legs. Mia was beaten by a telephone receiver years ago. Soon-Yi's made it clear that her primary aim was simply to be left alone, which more and often became the case. And if her friendship with Woody was tumultuous, she was able to flee. Some people were not so lucky.

Moses Farrow also recalls, "The summer between first and second grade students...my mother came over to my bed and discovered a tape measure." She gave me a piercing look that put me off my tracks and asked if I had taken it because she had been searching for it all day. I stood in front of her, frozen. It was on my bed, so she wondered why it was on my bed. I told her I didn't know that perhaps a workman had left it there. She pleaded with her again and again. When I didn't get the answer she needed, she slapped my face, knocking off my glasses. She told me she was lying and told me to alert my brothers and sisters that I had taken the tape measure. I listened to her as she said that we will rehearse what should have been said through my tears. She'll come into the room and I'll tell her I'm sorry for taking the tape measure, that I had brought it to play with, and that I never did it again. At least a half-dozen times she made me rehearse it. That was the start of her training, drafting, scripting, and rehearsing – in essence, brainwashing. I became anxious and afraid."

Moses Farrow also remembers. "Mia accused me of closing the curtains in the TV room one summer day." They had been drawn the day before Dylan and Satchel were seen at a movie. I had closed them and left them that way, she said. Casey's friend came over to visit, and although they were in the kitchen, my mother insisted that the curtains be closed. At that point, I couldn't take it anymore and I lost it, yelling, "You're lying!" She gave me a look and led me to the bathroom next to the TV room. She struck me uncontrollably all over my body. "How dare you say I'm a liar in front of my friend?" she slapped me, led me backwards, and struck me on my chest. You're the pathological liar." I was defeated, deflated, defeated, and beaten down. Mia had stripped me of my voice and my sense of self. It was evident that if I stepped even slightly outside of her intentionally planned fantasy, she would not accept it. It was a upbringing that made me both fiercely loyal and obedient to her, as well as deeply concerned."

Farrow has fourteen children: four biological and ten adopted. Matthew and Sascha (born February 26, 1970), and Fletcher (born March 14, 1974) have three biological children, including André Previn. Sascha is a graduate of Fordham University, while Fletcher, a Connecticut College graduate, became IBM's chief information officer. In 1973 and 1976, Farrow and Previn adopted Vietnamese infants Lark Song Previn and Summer "Daisy" Song Previn, followed by the adoption of Soon-Yi from Korea in 1977. The precise birth date of Soon-Yi is uncertain, but a bone scan estimated her age from 5 to 7, the time of her adoption. On December 28, 1976, the Seoul Family Court established a Family Census Register (legal birth record) on her behalf, with a presumptive birth date of October 8, 1970.

Farrow adopted Moses Farrow, a two-year-old Korean orphanage with cerebral palsy in 1980, following her divorce from Previn. Dylan Farrow was adopted in 1985 by Farrow (born July 1985, adopted at two weeks old). For a time, Dylan was known as "Eliza" and also "Malone." A New York City court allowed Woody Allen to co-adopt Dylan and Moses in December 1991.

But she was making a joke!

Farrow adopted five children between 1992 and 1995: Tam Farrow; Kaeli-Shea Farrow; Frankie; Isaiah Justus; and Gabriel Wilk Farrow, later known as Thaddeus Wilk Farrow; Farrow's son, Keith Farrow; and Christopher Wilk Farrow, named after Elliott Wilk Farrow, the judge who oversaw Farrow's 1993 court conflict with Allen;

Tam Farrow died of heart disease in 2000 at the age of 21. Moses Farrow wrote on his personal blog that Tam had actually died from a prescription drug overdose after a lifelong battle with depression. Mia Farrow confirmed Moses' claim that Tam died after an overdose of a prescription drug. Lark Previn died of HIV/AIDS complications at the age of 35 on December 25, 2008. Thaddeus Farrow was discovered dead in Connecticut at the age of 27, but it was later found that he had committed suicide by shooting himself in the torso while inside his car.

Farrow has six biological grandchildren from her and Previn's sons (three by Matthew, one by Sascha, and two by Fletcher). She has nine grandchildren from her adopted children.

Career

Liesl von Trapp, the role of Liesl von Trapp in The Sound of Music (1965), was screen-tested by Farrow, but she was not allowed to audition. The video has been preserved and appears on The Sound of Music's fortieth Anniversary Edition DVD. She began her acting career in movies by appearing in supporting roles in a number of 1960s films, making her first credit appearance in Guns at Batasi (1964).

Allison MacKenzie played naive, waif-like Allison MacKenzie on Peyton Place, a hit primetime soap opera. Frank Sinatra, a filmmaker who married on July 19, 1966 when she was 21 and 50 years old, died Farrow on the series in 1966 at the behest of her. In Aspic (1968), she appeared in her first film role.

Farrow's first film role was in the psychological thriller film Rosemary's Baby (1968), which was a critical and commercial success. It is widely regarded as a pioneer of the horror genre, and The Guardian named it as the second-best horror film of all time in 2010. She has received numerous awards, including the Golden Globe Award for New Artist of the Year – Actress, and she has established herself as a leading actress. Stephen Farber, a film critic and writer, characterized her appearance as having a "electrifying effect...one of the rare instances of actor and character achieving a magical, almost mythical match." "A substantial amount of the credit for this achievement must go to Mia Farrow as Rosemary," film critic Roger Ebert said of the film.

Following Rosemary's birth, Farrow was supposed to be as Mattie in True Grit, and was excited for the role. However, Elizabeth Taylor and Robert Mitchum performed the Secret Ceremony in England prior to filming. Mitchum told her that True Grit producer Henry Hathaway was known for her disrespect toward actresses. Hal Wallis, a producer from Farrow, was asked to replace Hathaway. Farrow resigned from the position, but Kim Darby took over; Wallis refused.

Critics penned at the Secret Ceremony, but there has been a dedicated following. John and Mary (1969) opposite Dustin Hoffman appear in Farrow's other late 1960s films. Best Actress in a Comedy or Musical received a Golden Globe Award in 2010.

Farrow appeared onstage in countless classical plays in London, beginning with the Royal Shakespeare Company's 1971 production of Jeanne d'Arc au bûcher, in which she portrayed Joan of Arc, at the Royal Albert Hall. Farrow was the first American actress to join the Royal Shakespeare Company, making her a star of history. She appeared in the British horror film See No Evil, a blind woman whose family is stalked by a killer. Roger Greenspun of The New York Times wrote that Farrow "plays her blind patrician with precisely the right small depth of pathos and vulnerable nobility." Farrow appeared in the television film Goodbye, Raggedy Ann (1971), portraying an unbalanced Hollywood starlet. Farrow appeared in the French black comedy film Dr. Popaul, opposite Jean-Paul Belmondo, as a secretary who marries a womanizer, and in Carol Reed's Follow Me! As a woman suspected of having an affair with her wealthy husband, she was accused of having an affair. Onstage, she appeared in a 1972 stage version of Mary Rose, followed by the role of Irina in The Three Sisters, and a dual role in The House of Bernarda Alba.

In the 1974 Paramount Pictures film version of The Great Gatsby, directed by Jack Clayton, Daisy Buchanan was cast as Daisy Buchanan. The film was a commercial success, grossing over $25 million in the United States, while Variety named it "the most concerted effort to investigate the mysterious ethos of the Beautiful People of the 1920s." In 1975, Farrow was the lead in a stage production of The Marrying of Ann Leete, followed by The Zykovs (1976), both of which were based at the Aldwych Theatre. She appeared in the 1976 film The Aldwych, portraying Sasha. In the television musical film Peter Pan (1976), she appeared onscreen as a woman haunted by the ghost of a deceased girl, as well as a woman haunted by the ghost of a deceased girl from the horror film Full Circle (1977).

In Robert Altman's comedy A Wedding (1978), Farrow played the mute daughter of a trucking company tycoon. She appeared in Rock Hudson's disaster film Avalanche in the same year as a child, and then in the British Agatha Christie version of Death on the Nile. In 1979, Farrow appeared in the play Romantic Comedy by Bernard Slade and in the romance film Hurricane, opposite Jason Robards.

Farrow had a decade-long friendship with director Woody Allen; the two worked on numerous of his films together in the 1980s. Allen's debut film was Sex Comedy (1982), a comedy directed by Diane Keaton. Leonard Zelig (Allen), a psychiatrist whose patient, has traits of those around him, was next seen in Allen's Zelig (1983), portraying a psychiatrist whose patient, Leonard Zelig (Allen) taking on those around him in an effort to be loved.

Danny Rose (1984), Farrow played the mistress of a washed-up lounge musician who becomes embroiled with the crowd. Both her character and film were inspired by a woman she and Allen frequented while dining at Rao's, an Italian restaurant in East Harlem. Farrow grew to be a role and developed a thick Italian-American accent; Allen biographer John Bailey described her as "unrecognizable" in the role. Farrow received critical praise for his role as a comedian or a musical performer, and she was nominated for the Golden Globe Award for Best Actress in a Comedy or Musical. Allen later reflected that her appearance was a "very brave thing for her to do" because the bulk of her scenes required her to wear sunglasses that blocked the view of her eyes. In the animated film The Last Unicorn (1982), Farrow also voiced the title role.

Danny Rose, Farrow, appeared in Jeannot Szwarc's superhero film Supergirl (1984), starring Alura In-Ze, the mother of Supergirl. The film was considered a box office bomb, grossing $13 million against its $35 million budget.

Farrow and Allen were reunited in 1985 for his film The Purple Rose of Cairo (1985), which follows a film character (portrayed by Jeff Daniels) who emerges from the screen and enters the real world. (Farrow) He falls in love with a waitress. Farrow received a BAFTA Award for Best Actress and Best Actress in a Comedy or Musical, as well as a coveted Golden Globe award for Best Actress in a Comedy or Musical. Allen is the leading character in his drama Hannah and Her Sisters (1986), which follows a New York City family through a period of two Thanksgivings. Farrow played Hannah opposite Barbara Hershey and Dianne Wiest (who portray her sisters) and Michael Caine as her husband in the film. Hannah and her Sisters, who appeared in the fall of 1986, was a box-office success, grossing $35 million in the United States during its initial theatrical debut. Critic Roger Ebert, who said it was Allen's best work to date, lauded the film. Farrow received her third BAFTA award, this time in the category of Best Leading Actress.

Farrow appeared in two films directed by Allen in 1987: the comedy Radio Days, in which she played a supporting role as an aspiring radio actress, and the drama September, in which she played a woman haunted by her mother's violent lover's murder. Farrow shot the latter film twice, first with her own mother Maureen O'Sullivan playing her character's mother in the film. Allen, who was dissatisfied with the final cut, has decided to recast several roles and reshoot the film completely. In the second and final version, Elaine Stritch played Farrow's mother in the film.

In Allen's drama Another Woman (1988), Farrow follows a philosophy professor (Rowlands) who becomes acquainted with a struggling woman confronting an existential crisis (Farrow). Although Roger Ebert's review of the film was lauded by critics, Vincent Canby of The New York Times slammed it. It was "fully of an earnest teen writer's superfluous words," he said. In 1989, Farrow appeared in Allen's anthology film New York Stories, portraying the shiksa fiancée of a Jewish man (Allen). She appeared in Crimes and Misdemeanors (1989), portraying a producer who falls in love with a documentary filmmaker.

Allen's fantasy film Alice (1990), marking the couple's 11th collaboration. Farrow's Alice depicts the title character, an upper-class Manhattan woman who is enamored of a jazz singer. Her attraction contributes to feelings of Catholic guilt that can manifest as physical ailments that she is attempting to treat with herbal medicine. "Miss Farrow performs a role that sums up and then tops all of the performances that have preceded it," Vincent Canby wrote about her portrayal as career-defining. She was nominated for a Golden Globe for Best Actress in a Comedy or Musical, as well as a National Board of Review award for Best Actress. In Allen's black-and-white comedy Shadows and Fog, Farrow appeared as a circus performer for the next year.

Farrow was a lead actress in Allen's drama Husbands and Wives (1992), in which she portrayed a writer and professor (Allen) having an affair with one of his students. Farrow's last match with Allen was marked by Husbands and Wives. It was released immediately after the couple's highly publicized divorce. Variety's Todd McCarthy said in his review of the film that a large portion of the audience would tune in "for the titillation of seeing Allen make out with a 21-year-old" and go through a wrenching split from Farrow onscreen. Even those who enter this mood will probably put these ideas aside for the majority of time as they become embroiled in a slew of fascinating, difficult, intersecting characters."

Farrow, who cited the need to devote herself to raising her young children, appeared less often in the 1990s. However, she appeared in numerous films, including the Irish film Widows' Peak (1994), in which she played the elusive victim of a small Irish village as "Miss O'Hare." She appeared in the comedy Miami Rhapsody (1995), playing the mother of a single woman in her thirties (played by Sarah Jessica Parker).

In that year, Farrow appeared in Craig Lucas' Off-Broadway play Reckless (1995), a dark comedy in which she played a woman whose husband arranges a contract killing against her. "Ms. Farrow is so well cast as Rachel that the role seems to be a distillation of virtually every part she has played since she was a teen in Peyton Place," critic Stephen Holden wrote. Farrow had an uncredited voice in the Broadway play Getting Away with Murder in the spring of 1996, first appearing in a pre-recorded voice message.

What Falls Away, Farrow's autobiography, was published in 1997. In Howard Stern's biographical comedy Private Parts, she appeared as herself. She appeared on television in 1998 The Wonderful World of Disney's Miracle at Midnight, a dramatic reconstruction of the Jewish Jews during the Holocaust. Farrow's appearance in the segment, according to Will Joyner of The New York Times, was "critical to the production's success." In the television film Forget Me Never, Farrow was next cast as a woman living Alzheimer's disease. Farrow's critic Steven Linan of the Los Angeles Times lauded the fact that she "convincingly conveys the trepidation and insecurity that accompany such a downward spiral." In the category of Miniseries or Television Film, her portrayal received her her seventh Golden Globe Award for Best Actress. Farrow appeared in the comedy Coming Soon in 1999, portraying the hippie mother of a high school student.

In November 1999, Farrow performed Honey in a staged reading of Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?, opposite Matthew Broderick, Jonathan Pryce, and Uta Hagen. In The New York Times, Vincent Canby praised the performance, saying that "as portrayed by Mr. Broderick and Ms. Farrow, Nick, and Honey, they took on dimensions I had never seen before." In the spring of 2000, a reading was held in Los Angeles.

Farrow appeared on television in the 2000s. She appeared on the show Third Watch, a recurring role, in which she appeared in five episodes between 2000 and 2003. In 2001, Farrow appeared in the LGBT-themed television film A Girl Thing, opposite Kate Capshaw and Stockard Channing, as well as a lead in the Lifetime film The Secret Life of Zoey.

In the fall of 2003, she appeared in a touring stage production of The Exonerated, followed by the lead in Fran's Bed. Samantha: An American Girl Holiday (2004), she appeared in children's television film Samantha: An American Girl Holiday (2004).

In the 2006 remake of The Omen, Farrow made her first film appearance in many years as Mrs. Baylock, a Satanic nanny. Although the film received a skeptic reception, Farrow's performance was widely lauded. Mia Farrow's appearance was "a rare case of the new Omen improving on the old one," the Associated Press reported. "Farrow [is] incredibly believable role as a sweet-talking nanny from hell," the Seattle Post-Intelligencer praised her work, describing it as "a truly delectable comeback role."

In the romantic comedy The Ex (2008), Farrow debuted as the mother of a Manhattan attorney (played by Amanda Peet), as well as Jason Bateman and Zach Braff. Critics generally dismissed the film, with some claiming that the cast's talents were underserved by the script. Daisy Suchot in Luc Besson's animated fantasy film Arthur and the Invisibles (2005) was Farrow's next voice.

In Michel Gondry's comedy Be Kind Rewind (2008), Farrow appeared in a supporting role opposite Danny Glover, playing the friend and patron of a video store operator in suburban New Jersey. She also appeared on screen for the documentary film As We Forgive (2008), which tells the tales of two Rwandan women who confronted the people who murdered their families during the Rwandan genocide. Daisy Suchott in Arthur and the Revenge of Maltazard, in 2009, and then for Arthur 3: The War of the Two Worlds (2010). She was later cast in Todd Solondz's comedy-drama Dark Horse, in which she played the mother of a stunted 35-year-old man.

In September 2014, Farrow performed in the play Love Letters in Broadway. Farrow's appearance was well received by critics, with Charles Isherwood of The New York Times describing his appearance "extraordinary" as the flighty, turbulent, and writing-averse Melissa Gardner. In 2016, Farrow appeared alongside Faye Dunaway in an episode of the IFC mockumentary series Documentary Now!
