| Biography |
A porcelain-skinned, blue-eyed beauty, Vera Farmiga began her professional acting career in the mid-1990s counting among her credits performances in stage productions of "The Tempest", "The Glass Menagerie" and "Hamlet". Making her Broadway debut as an understudy in the 1996-1997 play "Taking Sides", Farmiga followed up with a well-reviewed featured turn in the 1997 Off-Broadway production "Second-Hand Smoke". That same year she was featured in the CBS "Hallmark Hall of Fame" TV-movie "Rose Hill", and starred with then-unknown Heath Ledger on the Fox medieval adventure series "Roar", playing female lead Catlin. A former slave turned dreadlocked battler, Farmiga's Catlin was a fan favorite, though she would later admit embarrassment over the attention garnered for the role on the short-lived genre program. (The series did introduce her to her future husband, actor Sebastian Roache. |
