Biography/Timeline

1987

Farrow was born December 19, 1987 in New York City to Actress Mia Farrow and Woody Allen. Now known as Ronan, he originally was named after Hall of Fame baseball pitcher Satchel Paige and Actress Maureen O'Sullivan, his maternal grandmother. He was given the surname "Farrow" to avoid a family with one child named Allen amid Farrows and Previns. In 2013, Mia Farrow raised speculation that singer-actor Frank Sinatra was Farrow's biological Father.

2001

From 2001 to 2009, he was a UNICEF Spokesperson for Youth, acting as an "advocate" for children and women caught up in the ongoing crisis in Sudan's Darfur region and assisting in fundraising and addressing United Nations affiliated groups in the United States. During this time, he also made joint trips to the Darfur region of Sudan with his mother, the Actress Mia Farrow, who is a UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador. He subsequently advocated for the protection of Darfuri refugees. Following on his experiences in Sudan, Farrow was affiliated with the Genocide Intervention Network.

In 2008 Farrow was awarded Refugees International's McCall-Pierpaoli Humanitarian Award for "extraordinary Service to refugees and displaced people." In 2009 Farrow was named New York magazine's "New Activist" of the year and included on its list of individuals "on the verge of changing their worlds." In 2011 Harper's Bazaar listed him as an "up-and-coming politician". In 2012, he was ranked number one in "Law and Policy" on Forbes magazine's "30 Under 30" Most Influential People. He was also awarded an honorary doctorate by Dominican University of California in 2012.

He was part of a team of officials recruited by the diplomat Richard Holbrooke, for whom Farrow had previously worked as a speechwriter.

When asked about longstanding speculation that Farrow is the son of Mia Farrow's ex-husband Frank Sinatra, Mia Farrow stated that Sinatra might "possibly" be his Father. Ronan Farrow subsequently joked on Twitter, "Listen, we're all *possibly* Frank Sinatra's son". In February 2014, Allen replied in The New York Times, writing, "Is he my son or, as Mia suggests, Frank Sinatra's?" In 2015, Vanity Fair asked Nancy Sinatra about Farrow being treated as if he were a member of their family. She answered in an e-mail, "He is a big part of us, and we are blessed to have him in our lives."

DNA paternity testing to determine Farrow's Father is not known to have occurred. In a 2015 CBS Sunday Morning interview, Nancy Sinatra denied that Farrow was her half-brother.
