Farrow bucks the trend

Ronan Farrow, pictured, is the whizkid prodigy and preeminent chronicler of America’s sexual harassment watershed, whose exposés have sunk powerful men, spawned the #MeToo movement and won him a Pulitzer.

The only biological child of actress-activist Mia Farrow and director Woody Allen – or “possibly” Frank Sinatra – at 30, Farrow bucks the trend of celebrity progeny, insulated from the real world by privilege.

Much has been made of his parents’ poisonous separation and his support of sister Dylan, who accuses Allen of molesting her, laying the foundation for his reporting.

His exposés for The New Yorker after months of painstakingly persuading women to speak out helped bring down movie mogul Harvey Weinstein. Since then, they have forced the resignation of CBS ex-CEO Les Moonves and New York state attorney-general Eric Schneiderman.

Last month, he and investigative journalist Jane Mayer turned their sights on Donald Trump’s Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh, bringing to light a second allegation of sexual misconduct from the ’80s.

Earlier this year, he published a best-selling tome, War on Peace: The End of Diplomacy and the Decline of American Influence,exploring a major theme at a time of budget cuts by the Trump administration.

Farrow, who interviewed every living former secretary of state from Henry Kissinger to Rex Tillerson, argued the decline has been decades in the making and spans the Balkans to Afghanistan, China and North Korea. –
