Mia Farrow weds Frank SinatraSinatra met Mia in 1964 on the set of Peyton Place, a racy soap opera gripping America not least because of its hauntingly beautiful and trailblazing teen star. Mia's looks, gamine proportion (her measurements at the time were 20,20,20) and cool off-screen 'model' style, had also got newspapers in a spin.

more Mia Farrow weds Frank SinatraSinatra met Mia in 1964 on the set of Peyton Place, a racy soap opera gripping America not least because of its hauntingly beautiful and trailblazing teen star. Mia's looks, gamine proportion (her measurements at the time were 20,20,20) and cool off-screen 'model' style, had also got newspapers in a spin.
She was the Cheryl Cole of her day… only she hadn't been raised on a council estate. Her father was a leading film director and her mother a famous actress whose best friend was Vivien Leigh.
Although Mia caused a sensation, aged 21, when she wed twice-married 50 year Sinatra, it came as no surprise her ivory Mod-look wedding dress -attributed to West Hollywood fashion icon Pat Woolley - looked like it could have marched straight off the Paris catwalks.
With hair newly chopped for her breakout role in the horror movie, Rosemary's Baby, directed by Roman Polanski, Mia became Frank's child bride in 1966 at The Sands hotel in Las Vegas. (Dean Martin famously joked he had a bottle of Scotch older than Mia).
At 5'4, standing two inches lower than old blue eyes, she wore trendy flats. Alas, being the wife of the macho Rat Pack leader would eventually prove incompatible.
The marriage ended two years later. She then famously sought solace on the hippy trail in India joined by The Beatles.
