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.

Mia Farrow movies
Despite a film career that includes almost fifty movies during the course of nearly five decades, Mia Farrow not only has never won an Oscar, she has never been even nominated for one. That’s surprising, considering her extensive – and at times prestigious – movie credits, including Roman Polanski’s Rosemary’s Baby (1968), opposite John Cassavetes and Ruth Gordon; Jack Clayton’s The Great Gatsby (1974), opposite Robert Redford; and Robert Altman’s A Wedding (1978), as one of a number of big-name talent (Carol Burnett, Vittorio Gassman, Geraldine Chaplin, Lillian Gish, Viveca Lindfors, etc.).
In addition, Mia Farrow’s personal and professional association with Woody Allen resulted in 13 film collaborations – all but five (The Purple Rose of Cairo, Radio Days, September, Another Woman, and Alice) costarring Allen himself.
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.
