Farrow was born November 27, 1942 in Los Angeles, California to actress Maureen O’Sullivan and writer-director-producer John Villiers Farrow. Having one older brother, Michael, and five younger siblings, Mia, Johnny, Prudy, Steffi, and Tisa, he grew up and went to school in Beverly Hills and went abroad to Spain and England.
His early jobs included acting in Hollywood in both TV and movies, serving as a Merchant Marine in the Pacific and working as an artist for WPAT radio station in New York City. He moved to Vermont in 1964. In 1966 he married Susan Hartwell Erb with whom he shared the rest of his days.
Self taught, he had his first solo show in 1967 at a Beverly Hills gallery. In 1990 he was elected a Fellow in the National Sculpture Society in New York City where he won numerous awards and he is represented in private and public collections worldwide. In 1993 he bought an historic church in Castleton, Vermont, and turned it into a home, studio and gallery.
His public sculpture Frisbee is located on the Middlebury College campus center green.
