Mia Farrow is the daughter of John Farrow, an Australian film
director, and Irish actress Maureen O'Sullivan. Both parents were
practicing Catholics and Mia, born Maria de Lourdes Villiers-Farrow
(in Los Angeles, California), had a Catholic upbringing.
Farrow was stricken with polio as a child and spent a year in an iron
lung. She made her film debut in a 1947 short subject with her mother;
the short was about famous mothers and their children modeling the
latest fashions for families. In the 1950s, she appeared in the Cold
War educational film, Duck and Cover.
