Vera Farmiga: I Studied Clairvoyance for 'The Conjuring'

Vera Farmiga pushes her daughter Gytta, 2, in her stroller as they walk through the Granville Island Market on Saturday (August 3) in Vancouver, Canada.

The 39-year-old The Conjuring actress was joined for the market trip by husband Renn Hawkey and son Fynn, 5. At the market, Vera documented their fun time by taking pictures!

“I just wanted to study how to portray clairvoyance, and I finally took an ocular approach. She [character Lorraine Warren] has these beautiful blue eyes and her gaze is gently penetrating,” Vera told The Guardian about prepping for The Conjuring. “All the obvious stuff about her you can find online but I wanted more of the nitty-gritty, like how did it affect her sex life? If you’re domestic ballbuster by day and a ghostbuster by night, how does that affect your home life?”

“I opted not to go down to their museum of the occult that they maintain in the basement, Patrick [Wilson] and I both. We stayed upstairs,” she added, referencing the scary room from the movie. Check it out!

Vera Farmiga Reacts to Lead Actress Emmy Nomination!

Vera Farmiga and her family, husband Renn Hawkey and kids Gytta and Fynn, take a stroll together on Thursday (July 18) in Vancouver, Canada.

The 39-year-old actress, who just received an Emmy nomination for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama for her work in Bates Motel, told EW how she found out about the news.

“My husband watched it live online and I was awakened with coffee and the good news. He’s my biggest fan and he was really rooting for this to happen,” Vera said. “I have to tell you, this was a really interesting experiment. I didn’t really campaign for this one. Not a lot. I did about three interviews.”
