It was January 1992 when Mia Farrow discovered that her adopted daughter, Soon-Yi Previn, was involved in a relationship with her then-boyfriend, Woody Allen.
"[I] was at his apartment because I wasn’t working that day," Farrow explained in HBO's new documentary series, Allen v. Farrow.
"[There was a] stack of Polaroid pictures, of pornographic pictures of a woman, a girl. And I picked them up, and I realised all of them were of Soon-Yi. It was my own child," she continued.

"They wouldn’t put them in Playboy," Farrow said of the photos. "They were Hustler pictures. Really, really raunchy pictures."
At the time, Allen was 56 and Previn was 21.
Previn, who was adopted by Farrow and her former husband (composer André Previn) as a child, was in her first year of college, while Allen had been in a relationship with Farrow for more than a decade.
When Allen and Previn's relationship later surfaced publicly, Allen admitted that he had no moral qualms with their relationship.
