Mia Farrow is going to have a Mother’s Day to remember!
In a conversation with PEOPLE at the 2025 Tony Awards junket on Thursday, May 8, Farrow, 80, opened up about how she plans to spend the holiday.
“Oh, my kids are coming over. Not all, but most. Or anyway some and grandchildren. And I don’t really know,” she says. “I know Ronan’s [Farrow] coming from New York and I really don’t know. Hopefully they’ll bring food or take me out.”
Farrow is a mom to 14 children, three of whom have died — Tam died in 2000, Lark died in 2008 and Thaddeus died in 2016.
PEOPLE spoke with her following her nomination for the 2025 Tony Awards in the category of Best Performance by a Leading Actress in a Play. She received the nomination for her role in the Broadway production of The Roommate.
She is up against Laura Donnelly (The Hills of California), LaTanya Richardson Jackson (Purpose), Sadie Sink (John Proctor Is the Villain) and Sarah Snook (The Picture of Dorian Gray).
While speaking to PEOPLE about what being up for the award means to her, she says it makes her think about her own mother, Maureen O’Sullivan.
“I’m absolutely gobsmacked. It’s such an honor, and I know everyone says that, but it’s so personal, and I hadn’t expected it, and I did burst into tears, and I wish my mom could be here,” says Farrow. “She would’ve been so happy and proud, I think.”
Farrow first told PEOPLE she “burst into tears” in an exclusive statement following her nomination.
“I wish my mom were here – she would have been so proud of me. I’m so overwhelmed with gratitude to be among these nominees, as this is just the best community in the world. I’m still in the ‘oh my God, oh my God, oh my God’ mode,” her statement added.

O’Sullivan, who was also an actress, died in 1998 at the age of 87. Farrow says she and her mother were very close.
“I loved her so much and I carry her with me everywhere, and I have a way of communicating with her just to share my life, the best of it, with my mom,” she says. “I believe that there is some sort of afterlife that people just don’t get extinguished and that my mom is somewhere and I know she’s with me.”
