Book Review: "Mia Is Not Only A Great Actress, But A Great Writer"
Summary: 5 Stars
I have always loved Mia Farrow. Her acting roles are some of the best that any actress has ever had, and now with her autobiography, Mia proves she is a first-rate writer and storyteller.
"What Falls Away" was originally published in 1997 and was a long-awaited book by many of Mia's fans, for we wanted to know more about her life, career, and relationships. Never one to be on the pages of the tabloids, Mia suddenly found herself on the top of the list of celebrities on the ragsheets when her relationship with Woody Allen came to a crashing hault. Her discovery that Allen was having an affair with one of her adopted children was like a time bomb going off in her life. It is this particular event that Mia writes about with delicacy, timidness, and forcefulness, as I am sure she knew that this tragic event in her life would be the hardest to discuss.
Mia also talks about her early childhood bout with polio, her friendship with Liza Minelli, her early role on TV's "Peyton Place", and her eventual movie stardom due to "Rosemary's Baby". She also recounts her affair and ultimate marriage to Frank Sinatra, and that fateful day on the set of "Rosemary's Baby" when Sinatra served her with divorce papers.
Mia is many things: a daughter, an actress, a philanthropist, great wife and partner, but most of all she is a fabulous mother. After reading her book one realizes out of all her accomplishments Mia is most proud of being a mom, for she herself delivered multiple children as well as adopted several infants.
"What Falls Away" is a must read that also contains several photos from Mia's own personal album.
