1. Mia Farrow and Frank Sinatra's son, apparently.

Farrow herself admitted believing he's most likely Sinatra's son - and there's no doubt he looks a lot like ol' Blue Eyes.

That said, he's a great journalist and Phil Griffin did MSNBC real disservice by canceling his show. One of many, actually.

6. Ronan Farrow was born on December 19, 1987.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ronan_Farrow

According to Wikipedia, Mia Farrow was partners with Woody Allen from 1980-1992. So according to Wikipedia, Mia Farrow was in a relationship with Woody Allen when Ronan Farrow was born.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Woody_Allen

Also according to Wikipedia, Mia Farrow was in a relationship with Frank Sinatra from 1966-1968 and in a relationship with Woody Allen from 1979-1992.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mia_Farrow

Therefore, Ronan Farrow was born while Mia Farrow was in a relationship with Woody Allen if Wikipedia is correct.

Frank Sinatra was born December 12, 1915 -- not too old in 1988 to be Ronan's father.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frank_Sinatra

But . . . if Frank Sinatra was Ronan's father, and Mia Farrow was, at the time of conception supposedly, outwardly, publicly still in a relationship with Woody Allen, then Mia has some explaining to do.

Of course, maybe Wikipedia is wrong, and maybe Mia was no longer in a relationship with Woody Allen ????????

It doesn't make sense . . . .

Was Mia Farrow two-timing Woody Allen?

Or is Woody Allen the father?

Or is Wikipedia wrong?

It's been known to happen. I don't think there's much sleuthing that's needed—look at his face! Google has a lot more comparison photos to see how remarkably he resembles his father.

I would have bet Davis’ adopted child was his biological son so I know looks can be misleading. And Ronan is scary smart just like Woody is scary smart.

But he owes his intelligence to Woody and Mia. At least that part of it that is inherited, and maybe that which is learned to some extent also. One thing you can say about Woody Allen, he is a heck of a lot smarter than Frank Sinatra. Brilliant in fact.

He was also on with Stephen Colbert, among others. Glad that he's getting the exposure and credit.

Mr. Farrow is a very smart man, with the right journalistic values. I hope he is on the job, with support for many years to come.

I know it shouldn't make any difference. But, the truth is the truth. Come out with it and move on. What the hell are they afraid of?

I thinks he graduated college when he as still a teenager...or something close to it. Mia raised him well too.

There is a reason he's no longer around much. He is clearly nothing like his father. Blech. Also can't hold a candle to Ronan.
