She then co-starred in The Manchurian Candidate (2004), The Departed (2006), The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas (2008), and Nothing But the Truth (2008).

Early life and family

Farmiga was born in Clifton, New Jersey,[2] to Ukrainian-born parents Lubomyra "Luba" (née Spas), a schoolteacher, and Michael Farmiga, a systems analyst-turned-landscaper.[3][4] She was raised in an insular Ukrainian American community in Irvington, New Jersey, with Ukrainian as her native language.[2] She did not learn English until she started kindergarten at age 6.[5] As a child, Farmiga converted with her family from the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church to Pentecostalism.[6] When she was 12, the family moved from Irvington to Whitehouse Station, New Jersey.[7] She attended St. John the Baptist Ukrainian Catholic School in Newark, New Jersey, and toured with a Ukrainian folk-dancing ensemble, Syzokryli, during her teen years.[8][9] In addition to being a semi-professional folk dancer, she is also a classically trained pianist.[10][11] Farmiga was a member of Plast, the Ukrainian scouting organisation.[12] In 1991, she graduated from Hunterdon Central Regional High School.[13] During her junior year there, she found acting after being benched during a varsity soccer game; her friend then convinced her to try out for the school play, and she won the lead role.[3][14] Farmiga went on to study performing arts at Syracuse University, graduating in 1995.[15]

Farmiga has one older brother, Victor,[16] and five younger siblings, Stephan, Nadia, Alexander, Laryssa (who was born with spina bifida),[17] and Taissa.[18][19] Her paternal cousin is Adriana Farmiga. Her maternal grandparents, Nadia (née Pletenciw; 1925–2014) and Theodor Spas (1921–90), met at a displaced Ukrainian persons camp in Karlsfeld during World War II.[20] At the time, her grandfather was working as a mechanic for the United States Army. Theodor and Nadia married in Munich in 1946 and emigrated to the U.S. in 1950 when Farmiga's mother was an infant, first living in Davidsonville, Maryland before settling in Harrison, New Jersey.[20] Farmiga's father was born in Ukraine and raised in Argentina. A soccer player, Michael was scouted for the Argentine national team,[21] and also played professionally for the Newark Ukrainian Sitch.[22]

Religious beliefs

My father instilled in me – of utmost importance and innate in me is the yearning to determine for myself – to define God, to define holiness for myself. That was my parents' number one lesson for us."[132] Speaking of her family, she then added, "I have not been home enough [to attend a local church]. We're constantly going, constantly travelling. So for us, God is in temples and in churches, and on park benches. 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."[132]
