Marriages

She married Frank Sinatra on July 19, 1966. While working on the film "Rosemary's Baby" with director Roman Polanski, Frank served her divorce papers in front of the cast and crew.

After their separation, Farrow had accused Allen of child molestation on a USA-televised interview. She claimed to having witnessed Allen abusing one of their youngest adopted children. Allen became infamously tainted for a time afterward, having somewhat confirmed Farrow's accusations by his open relationship with one of her adopted teenage daughters, Soon Yi Previn.
