Mia Farrow
(Actor)
.. Julia Lofting
Born:
February 09, 1945
in
Los Angeles
Best Known For:
Rosemary's Baby
Early-life:
California-born Mia Farrow is the daughter of the director John Farrow and the actress and Tarzan-girl Maureen O'Sullivan. Growing up surrounded by film stars, she longed to become an actress, and made her debut in 1959, with some small roles. Farrow screen-tested for the role of Liesl von Trapp in The Sound of Music, but did not get the part.
Career:
Her big break came in the terrifying film Rosemary's Baby (1968) by Roman Polanski. She showed her talent also on TV and at the theatre, but her final breakthrough was when she met Woody Allen and became his Muse after the film A Midsummer Night's Sex Comedy (1982). She and Woody Allen made 13 movies together before their accrimonious divorce. She has appeared in films sparingly in recent years, devoting her time to charity work and political activism. She is involved in humanitarian activities in Darfur, Chad, and the Central African Republic. In 2008, Time magazine named her one of the most influential people in the world.
Quote:
"If you're brought up a Catholic and you've had 13 years of convent education with nuns, there's no way you ever get out from under that. I've accepted that fact about myself so there are certain things - like my lost saint - that sometimes are not so lost."
Trivia:
She has adopted several children from overseas.

Early-life:
Thomas Conti was born on November 22, 1941, in Paisley, Scotland, the only child of an Italian father and Irish mother. At the age of four he began taking piano lessons and was regarded in some quarters as a child prodigy. However, while studying at the Royal Scottish Academy of Music and Drama he auditioned for a part in a play and became instantly hooked on acting.
Career:
Conti started out on the stage in the 1960s, making his London debut in 1973. A year later he made his first film, the Slade movie Flame. In 1979 he picked up a Tony award for his Broadway appearance in Whose Life Is It Anyway? This led to parts in such acclaimed movies as Merry Christmas Mr Lawrence, Reuben Reuben (for which he received an Oscar nomination) and Shirley Valentine. He appeared in short-lived US TV series Wright Verdicts in 1995. Other productions include Don't Go Breaking My Heart, I Was a Rat, Dangerous Parking and Deeply Irresponsible. He divides his time between stage work, film and TV.
Quote:
"A film set is just a never-ending hell."

He published a book, The Doctor, in 2004.
