Allen: I’ll never know if Ronan’s really my son
Director says lad could be Sinatra’s
WOODY Allen has said he thinks Ronan Farrow is his biological son but admitted that Frank Sinatra could be the journalist’s father.
The Oscar-winning director, 84, concedes in his new book ex-partner Mia Farrow’s suggestion her crooner ex Frank is Ronan’s dad may be accurate.
Allen writes in Apropos of Nothing: “I think he’s mine, though I’ll never really know. She may have still been sleeping with Frank, as she hinted, and may have had any number of outside affairs, for all I know.”
Allen also claims Farrow slept naked in bed with her “prized” son – who was named Satchel at birth – until he was 11 years old.
He writes: “She took him into her bedroom, her bed, and insisted on breastfeeding him.
“She kept telling me she intended to do it for years and that anthropological studies showed positive results from
Soon-Yi and Ronan
AUTOBIOGRAPHY Woody makes claims in new book
SUGGESTION Mia says ex Frank Sinatra could be dad tribes where breastfeeding goes on much longer than the Upper West Side.” He writes that years later a “very professional” housekeeper reported “seeing Mia sometimes sleeping in the nude with Satchel a number of times till he was eleven years old”. Farrow accused Allen of molesting her adopted daughter Dylan aged seven after it emerged he had an affair with Soon-Yi Previn – another of her adopted daughters who is now his wife. Dylan was forced to keep recounting her story to see if she was lying. In 1993, prosecutors said they had “probable cause” but dropped the case to spare Dylan’s fragile state of mind. Allen has never been convicted of a crime. He writes: “I never laid a finger on Dylan. It was a total fabrication.” Dylan, 34, and Mia maintain the claim is true and Ronan, who exposed Harvey Weinstein, backs them. A spokesman for the Farrow family was unavailable for comment.
