Mia Farrow Agrees Frank Sinatra Had A Temper But Was Also Compassionate And Shy

The actress Mia Farrow recently spoke about her late ex-husband, Frank Sinatra. Describing him to CBS Sunday Morning on 1 September, along with her friend and fellow stage and screen star, Patti LuPone, Farrow, to whom Sinatra was married from 1966 to 1968.

When she spoke with the journalist Seth Doane, the 79-year-old actress pointed out that Sinatra was Sicilian, and compared his ethnicity to LuPone’s. “Like Patti, he was Sicilian,” she said with a laugh, sitting beside LuPone, who is 75. “But unlike Patti, he had a temper.”

Farrow, who was almost three decades younger than Sinatra, described him as “so compassionate and shy,” and someone who was always “readily available” to her, more so than anyone else she had ever known.

Despite their marriage ending in 1968, Farrow revealed that their bond transformed into a lasting friendship that continued until Sinatra’s death in 1998.

Recalling Past Marital Life With Frank Sinatra

The couple first met on the 20th Century Fox lot in 1964 and quickly fell in love, marrying two years later at a hotel in Las Vegas when Farrow was 21 and Sinatra was 50.

Their marriage was brief, ending when Sinatra handed Farrow divorce papers on the set of her film Rosemary’s Baby. However, Farrow shared with Vanity Fair in a 2013 interview that they “never really split up,” indicating that their connection endured beyond their marriage.

Farrow continued to honor Sinatra’s memory over the years, including a heartfelt Instagram post in December 2023 to celebrate what would have been his 107th birthday. She captioned it, “Happy Heavenly Birthday C.B. I will always love you ♥️.”
