Biography

American sculptor and a peace and environmental activist from a noted Hollywood family. He was the son of Irish actress Maureen O'Sullivan and Australian writer-director-producer John Villiers Farrow. He had one older brother, Michael, and five younger siblings, including actresses Mia and Tisa, John, Prudence, and Stephanie. He grew up in Beverly Hills and went abroad to Spain and England.

His early jobs included acting in Hollywood in both television 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.

A self-taught artist, Farrow had his first solo art show in 1967 at a Beverly Hills gallery. In 1990 he was elected a Fellow in the National Sculpture Society in New York City. In 1993, he bought an historic church in Castleton, Vermont, turning it into a home, studio, and art gallery.

His public sculpture Frisbee is located on the Middlebury College campus center green. In 1984, Farrow raised $20,000 to pay for the installation of another, "The Leash," in nearby Rutland.

On 15 June 2009, Farrow, aged 66, was found in his Castleton, Vermont home, dead from a gunshot wound. The cause of death was determined to be suicide.
