Ronan Farrow – the son of star parents, but he was able to succeed in life only thanks to his talent, intelligence and charm. This is a world-famous fighter for human rights, a successful lawyer, journalist, and statesman. Only with his perseverance and craving for knowledge, he was able to prove to the whole world that success loves aspiring people who stubbornly go towards their goal.
Mystery of Birth
Ronan Farrow was born into a famous family. To understand the secret of his birth, let's turn to the history of the personal life of his mother, the famous actress Mia Farrow.
Mia, like many stars, led a flamboyant life. 1966 was a turning point in her life: she became famous thanks to her marriage to world star Frank Sinatra. At that time, the groom was 30 years older than the bride, who was just over 20 years old. The marriage was short-lived – only a couple of years. After that, the woman got married a couple more times, until Woody Allen appeared in her life in 1980.
In thismarriage, after 7 years of cohabitation (December 19, 1987), a child was born, the hero of our story, Ronan Farrow.
What is the intrigue? The "yellow press" sounded the alarm from the very beginning, doubting who the father of this child was. After all, it is reliably known that Mia maintained contact with Sinatra throughout the entire time. And these relations were not only friendly.
Woody Allen or Frank Sinatra?
Perhaps the issue of Ronan's birth would not have been raised so sharply by the press if his mother had not made a sensational statement herself. Mia and Woody Allen have long been enemies, so the 68-year-old woman said that Sinatra could be the father of her son.
Although… If you look closely at the photos, Ronan Farrow and Frank Sinatra are very similar to each other. No resemblance to Woody Allen at all.
When the mystery was revealed, Sinatra was 78 years old. Paternity has never been proven or disputed, and no DNA tests have been performed. It remains only to look at the photo and wonder if it's true or not.
It is also worth noting the fact that Ronan does not communicate with Woody Allen. A scandal in the star family occurred when the cult American director married Soon-i Previn. It is known that she is the adopted daughter of Mia Farrow. For about 12 years, the family lived under the same roof, before it turned out that the stepdaughter and the adoptive father love each other. The end of the long legal proceedings was the deprivation of Woody of the rights to communicate with Ronan and his other adopted children.
Successful Ronan
It should be noted that RonanFarrow, whose photo you see in the article, was given the name Satchel at birth. He acquired the familiar name, changing it at his own request.
The boy from childhood was distinguished by his mind. Science was easy for him, he studied with pleasure. As an 11-year-old boy, Ronan entered Bard College. At the age of 15, our hero successfully defended his dissertation in philosophy and political science. After graduating from this educational institution, Ronan became a student of the Faculty of Jurisdiction at Yale University.
As a student, Ronan Farrow worked for UNICEF and was also an adviser to the US Ambassador to the UN.
The young man's career skyrocketed as he worked on missions in Pakistan, Africa and Afghanistan. The guy's track record includes work at the United Nations Children's Fund. He was secretary to US Ambassador to the UN Richard Holbrooke and is now Special Adviser on Youth Affairs in the Obama Administration. Farrow is known as a human rights activist, lawyer, and freelance journalist.
A journalistic career began to take off when Ronan tried his hand at hosting one of the shows that airs every week on MSNBC. The young man noted that such an idea came to him while communicating with young people. He realized that young people do not always like the way television presents news, and they also want to take an active part in the social and political life of the country. Democracy is an important part of the development of society.
Achievementsand awards
Ronan Farrow, whose personal life is practically unknown, is very popular as a politician. "Politician of the Future" – was exactly what Harper's Bazaar called it in 2010.
In 2011, Ronan won the most prestigious award in the world, the Rhodes Prize. The award is given by the University of Oxford. It should be noted that when receiving it, the young man promised to spend all his money on his education, planning to study the basics of international law at Oxford.
Forbes magazine also noted his achievements. In 2012, Ronan was included in the list of the most successful and influential people under the age of 30.
