Vera Farmiga
Bates Motel, Up in the Air, The Conjuring
The Intense Lioness
Vera Farmiga plays women of dangerous depth — mothers with secrets, investigators with gifts, women at the edge of sanity. Her Norma Bates in Bates Motel is one of television’s most nuanced performances: terrifying and heartbreaking simultaneously. Her Oscar nomination for Up in the Air confirmed she can do anything.
