==Early life==
Farrow was born in Sydney, Australia, the son of Lucy Villiers (née Savage; 1881-1907), a dressmaker, and Joseph Farrow (1880-1925), a tailor's trimmer. His mother died when he was three years old. He was of English descent.〔http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0268513/bio?ref_=nm_ov_bio_sm〕 Farrow was educated at Newtown Public School and Fort Street Boys' High School, then passed the exams to get into the Australian Naval College at aged 12. Farrow claims the Navy was downsizing and demobbing so he decided to join the Merchant Service as a cadet instead. He traveled throughout the Pacific, including New Zealand, Fiji, Hawaii and Canada.〔 He studied at St Ignatius College, in San Francisco, in 1923 for one month, and resumed his travels.〔 On arrival in Hollywood, Farrow fabricated his education, saying he attended Newington College (he lived in a street below its ovals), Winchester College and the Royal Naval Academy, when he had only passed exams for its Australian counterpart. Many publications and websites still contain this information.〔(Turner Classic Movies ) Retrieved 3 May 2014.〕
