Vera Ann Farmiga[1] (/fɑːrˈmiːɡə/far-MEE-gə; born August 6, 1973) is an American actress. Farmiga began her professional acting career on stage in the original Broadway production of Taking Sides (1996). After expanding to television and film, Farmiga's breakthrough came in 2004 with her starring role as a drug addict in the drama Down to the Bone. She received praise for starring in the 2009 comedy-drama Up in the Air, for which she was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress.
Farmiga was born on August 6, 1973,[1] in Clifton, New Jersey.[4] Her parents are Ukrainians: Mykhailo Farmiga, a systems analyst-turned-landscaper, and his wife Lubomyra "Luba" (née Spas), a schoolteacher.[5] She has an older brother, Victor,[6] and five younger siblings: Stephan, Nadia, Alexander, Laryssa (who was born with spina bifida),[7] and Taissa.[8] Her maternal grandparents, Nadia (née Pletenciw; 1925–2014) and Theodor Spas (1921–1990), met at a displaced persons camp in Karlsfeld during World War II.[9] As a child, Farmiga converted with her family from the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church to Pentecostalism.[10]
Farmiga had a main role in Fox's short-lived fantasy adventure series Roar (1997), alongside Heath Ledger and Sebastian Roché.[28] The following year, she guest-starred in an episode of NBC's procedural drama series Law & Order, portraying Lindsay Carson, the daughter of a convicted murderer who goes on her own killing spree.[29] She made her feature film debut playing a supporting role alongside Vince Vaughn and Joaquin Phoenix in the drama-thriller Return to Paradise (1998).[30] Also that year, she had a guest appearance in the NBC drama series Trinity, portraying Allison.
2000s
Farmiga's next film was the crime drama The Opportunists (2000), in which she co-starred as Miriam Kelly, the daughter of Christopher Walken's character.[31] She also had a supporting role as Lisa Tyler in the romantic drama Autumn in New York (2000).[32] The following year, Farmiga had a supporting role as Daphne Handlova in the action thriller 15 Minutes, alongside Robert De Niro,[33] and co-starred in the drama film Dust,[33] which premiered at the 2001 Venice Film Festival.[34] Farmiga subsequently joined the main cast of NBC's short-lived procedural drama series UC: Undercover, as Alex Cross. The series premiered in September 2001, and was cancelled after one season.[35] She then appeared in the Hallmark fantasy television film Snow White: The Fairest of Them All.[33]
She next starred as Teresa Gazelle in Wayne Kramer's crime thriller Running Scared,[50] and as the Romanian prostitute Oana in Anthony Minghella's romantic crime drama Breaking and Entering (both in 2006).[15] Farmiga subsequently landed the lead role of Sophie Lee in Gina Kim's romantic drama Never Forever,[51] which premiered at the 2007 Sundance.[52] G. Allen Johnson of the San Francisco Chronicle praised her as "the best American actress you've never heard of".[53] She next starred as Abby Cairn in the psychological thriller film Joshua (2007), with Sam Rockwell,[54] and portrayed Fiona Ankany in the drama film Quid Pro Quo,[55] which premiered at the 2008 Sundance. David Edelstein of New York magazine stated that Farmiga's performance on the latter film was "scarily good", and added: "She's always visibly calculating, thinking better of something reckless she's about to do – then doing it anyway".[56]
Her next role was the flaky New Age mother Wendy Whitman in the independent comedy-drama Goats,[86] which opened at the 2012 Sundance.[87] That same year, she portrayed CIA operative Catherine Linklater in Daniel Espinosa's action thriller Safe House (2012).[88] Farmiga starred opposite Ryan Reynolds and, for the second time, Denzel Washington.[89]
She next appeared in James Wan's horror film The Conjuring (2013),[103] which was met with critical and commercial success.[104] The film became the second highest-grossing horror film of all time up to that date.[105] Farmiga portrayed paranormal investigator and self-professed clairvoyant Lorraine Warren, alongside Patrick Wilson,[106] for which she was nominated for the MTV Movie Award for Best Scared-As-Shit Performance.[107] Sheri Linden of The Hollywood Reporter wrote that "Farmiga resonates an extraordinary sensitivity" in the role, while Justin Chang of Variety called her performance "moving" and highlighted her chemistry with Wilson as a "rock-solid rapport".[108][109]
She reprised her role in the sequel, The Conjuring 2 (2016), which was also directed by Wan. The film was the second released in the main series, but the third released within The Conjuring Universe.[110] Like its predecessor, The Conjuring 2 was met with a positive critical reception and commercial success,[111] surpassing The Conjuring as the second highest-grossing horror film of all time.[105]
I grew up in a Ukrainian Catholic-turned-Christian household, and that is my family's faith. My father instilled in me ... to define God, to define holiness for myself. That was my parents' number one lesson for us. I don't belong to any particular church, but I'm someone who will be able to walk into any place of worship, any house of worship, and have a direct correspondence.[151]
