One of several children, she and her siblings spent their time attending star-studded parties at home and strict Catholic schools abroad. Her childhood also had its share of tragedy, from the threat of polio to the death of her cherished older brother.

At the tender age of sixteen, against her father’s wishes Mia moved to New York to become an Off-Broadway actress. After the death of her father, she moved back to Hollywood to take a role on the television series “Peyton Place,” where she met and shortly after married Frank Sinatra.
