Tisa Farrow, a former actor born, like sister Mia Farrow, to show business parents Maureen O’Sullivan and John Farrow, died unexpectedly Wednesday morning. She was 72.
Her death was announced on social media by Mia Farrow, who said that Tisa apparently died in her sleep.
“If there is a Heaven, undoubtedly my beautiful sister Tisa is being welcomed there,” Mia wrote on Instagram and X. “She was the best of us — I have never met a more generous and loving person. She loved life & never complained. Ever. She was nurse for 27 years, a wonderful sister to Steffi, Prudence and me, a devoted mother to Jason, who died in Iraq, Bridget and little grandson Kylor – the lights of her life.”
While never achieving the fame of sister Mia – or, for that matter, sister Prudence, who was immortalized by John Lennon in the classic 1968 Beatles White Album song “Dear Prudence” – Tisa Farrow nonetheless...

The Beatles‘ “Dear Prudence” was inspired by the sister of a famous actor. During an interview, the real “Dear Prudence” said the song was important. On the other hand, she said it didn’t receive as much attention as other songs in the Fab Four’s discography.

A 2015 article from Rolling Stone says The Beatles’ “Dear Prudence” was inspired by Prudence Farrow, sister of Mia Farrow. The Farrows were present during The Beatles’ trip to India and Prudence spent a lot of her time deep in meditation. John Lennon noticed her devotion to spirituality and wrote the song in response.
Prudence said her mother, actor Maureen O’Sullivan, introduced her to “Dear Prudence” during a “psychological” game her family used to play. She explained how the game worked.

Ringo Starr joined The Beatles significantly later than his bandmates, so he didn’t live through some of their earliest experiences as a group. He also wasn’t on all the songs they recorded, though this continued to happen after he joined the band. For various reasons, Starr was not the drummer on five Beatles songs.

Soon after joining the band, Starr joined them in the studio to record “Love Me Do.” He struggled with timekeeping, though, much to the frustration of producer George Martin. Ultimately, Starr’s version of “Love Me Do” made it on the album, but he wasn’t so lucky with another song.
“They started ‘Ps I Love You.’ The other bloke played the drums and I was given the maracas,” Starr said in the...

Still-gorgeous Jane Seymour is starring in a new original movie for the Hallmark Channel. Dear Prudence debuts on August 23rd and the 57-year-old Seymour plays a Martha Stewart-type celebrity named Prudence. Like Murder She Wrote's Jessica Fletcher, Prudence stumbles into a murder mystery and ends up solving it using her keen skills of observation. If the movie performs well, you can expect to see more of them. Could this mean that we could also see a new Dr. Quinn movie? Unfortunately, no.
Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman debuted in 1993 and ran for six seasons on CBS. The series was cancelled in 1998 due to production costs, aging viewers, and sagging ratings. To mollify loyal viewers, a made-for-tv-movie was produced and aired in May 1999. Unfortunately, many fans were dissatisfied with the storyline, the absence of several castmembers, and series creator Beth Sullivan's lack of involvement. It was not well received by critics and attracted 12 million viewers.
