Actress Vera Farmiga featured in January issue of Elle magazine

PARSIPPANY, N.J. - Ukrainian American actress Vera Farmiga recently appeared in the January 2006 issue of Elle magazine.

Her recent roles in top independent films have secured her a spot as a legitimate, up-and-coming actress whose acting, according to film directors Anthony Minghella and Wayne Kramer, bears a distinct resemblance to the likes of Meryl Streep and Cate Blanchett.

It was her role in 2004's "Down To The Bone" - an independent film currently in theaters - which solidified her place as a truly serious and capable actress. The strong performance has led to her securing top roles in future productions, such as the upcoming Anthony Minghella film, "Breaking & Entering," in which she plays opposite Jude Law.

Although Ms. Farmiga has enjoyed her taste of Hollywood, she has lost neither her sense of reality nor humor. In her interview with Elle, she admitted her keys to success: "Selfish motivation, ruthless ambition and a lot of insecurity and make-up."

In the next year, Ms. Farmiga will appear in several films, perhaps the most notable among them being "The Departed," a Martin Scorsese film featuring Ms. Farmiga acting alongside Matt Damon and Leonardo DiCaprio.
