Rick Santorum puts choir kids to sleep: Far-right Republican presidential candidate was in Florida.
Mia Farrow: ‘Gem’ picture of Rick Santorum boring whole choir to sleep
Mia Farrow is a frequent Twitter twitterer. Earlier today (Feb. 4, ’12), for instance, Farrow expressed her disgust at the Chinese and Russian governments’ decision to veto United Nations sanctions against Syria, where the Bashar al-Assad regime reportedly massacred hundreds of people in the city of Homs. On the homefront, Farrow posted a picture she called “a gem.”
Regarding the picture (see above), Farrow’s tweet reads:
See children’s choir literally passing out from boredom during [far-right Republican presidential candidate Rick] Santorum [Florida] speech.

Some years ago, Farrow said she admired several of the movies she made for Allen. Yet she called Reckless, a coming-of-awareness comedy about a woman who discovers her husband is plotting to kill her, one of her personal favorite films.
Marsha Hunt
Also today on Twitter, Farrow sent “my very best wishes” to Marsha Hunt, who appeared with Farrow’s mother, Maureen O’Sullivan, in Robert Z. Leonard’s 1940 film version of Pride and Prejudice, starring Greer Garson and Laurence Olivier.
Marsha Hunt, who was blacklisted during the post-World War II anti-Red hysteria period, will turn 95 next October 17.
