FYI: Ronan Butch Farrow-Sinatra's Grandfather Used To Mix Scotch With Female Piss

He had a reputation for being a weirdo....It's from Richard Fleischer Auto Bio. Page 62

Can you post the excerpt?

He kept a bottle of scotch and piss on set in his trailer, and all the crew knew

The way you fucked up the title to this thread is irredeemable.

John Farrow looks a bit like Sinatra did in that photo.

OP, try English.

Awful subject line, OP, and inaccurate on purpose, obviously.

Crew members had someone pee into John Farrow's scotch, and he didn't notice.

[quote]The actors were cooperative, which was helpful. Since they were all under contract to the studio, the original crew had been recalled. They filled me in on the local gossip. Lots of stories, too, about the previous director, John Farrow. The prop man asked me if I'd like to sample some John Farrow scotch. This got a big laugh from everyone in earshot. Farrow, they told me, had set himself up as a connoisseur of scotch and women. Apparently, at lunchtime, there was a daily sampling of both in his portable office on the stage. It didn't take much persuasion from the prop men to have one of these ladies pee into a jar, which was then added to the contents of one of his choice bottles. They kept a close watch on the liquid level, which dropped day by day. There was no reaction at all from the great connoisseur. Farrow scotch became famous, if not popular, on the set.

This was on the set of His Kind of Woman.

Arlene Francis urinated into a glass of Vat 69 and served it to him.

Whatever about the scotch, but that family was clearly massively fucked up. Mia's brother is a convicted sex offender, so you know there was a lot of kiddie diddling going on there (presumably by one or more relatives).

No wonder Mia's batshit.

Even Esperanto would've been more understandable.

Maureen O'Sullivan looks so pretty in this pic. I love her simple outfit.

There’s absolutely nothing wrong with the thread title…it’s totally understandable, so put on your bifocals.

Ignore the usual crap, OP.

@r5, All the Farrows look like Sinatra. Mia and Frank should have had kids, they would have been Sinatra carbon copies

Ronan looks like his grandfather.

Dad was a philanderer and later a drunk, there's no need to add on to the dysfunction.

He was also an educated man (rare) who supported his friends during McCarthyism at great risk to his own professional reputation.

As a child, Mia almost died of polio and was separated from her family during her illness for months. Her illness was an enormous stressor on her family.

Mia describes her family falling apart when her brother Mike was killed in an airplane crash. He was the bright light in that large family. His death caused a final rift in her parents marriage and irreparable damage to her family.

R13...thank you. I posted this thread. Maybe the schmuck who criticized the thread title didn't get fucked last night

Justice for woody.

I will never understand sexual attraction to females. How many cosmetics does it take to make them not look like a wet hamster?
