AceShowbiz - Mia Farrow, the 79-year-old actress and activist, recently appeared on "CBS Sunday Morning", where she candidly discussed her relationship with Woody Allen, 88, with whom she was involved from 1980 to 1992. Farrow starred in 13 of Allen's films during their time together.
Upon their breakup, Allen began dating and later married Farrow's adopted daughter, Soon-Yi Previn. Farrow has previously expressed regret about inviting Allen into her family, calling it "the greatest regret of my life."
Despite the personal turmoil that followed their relationship, Farrow emphasizes her ability to separate her experiences as an actor from her personal struggles. "Oh yeah, yeah," she replied when asked about the distinction.
Farrow's understanding extends to actors who continue to work with Allen. "I completely understand if an actor decides to work with him," she stated. "I'm not one who'd say, 'Oh, they shouldn't.' "
This stance differs from several actors who have distanced themselves from Allen after Dylan Farrow, another of Farrow's daughters, accused him of molestation. Kate Winslet, Drew Barrymore, Colin Firth, and Greta Gerwig are among those who have expressed regret over previous collaborations with Allen.
Despite the allegations, Allen has never been formally charged. Some actors, such as Javier Bardem and Bill Maher, have defended his genius and the lack of convictions.
Farrow's current projects include the Broadway play "The Roommate", alongside Patti LuPone. She reflects on her life with a sense of gratitude, emphasizing her contentment and enjoyment of having "no complaints."
