“The story kind of wafts in and out of our reality — there are 21 years between us, so I’m a kind of a role model-slash-surrogate mom for her. I’d like to think I’ve had a hand in shaping her and guiding her. And, all of a sudden these amazing opportunities are coming her way and I was watching her just grow up and expand and explore. It’s not bittersweet; it’s pure sweetness for me.”

Wiki/Bio Facts of Victor Farmiga

Early Life of Victor Farmiga

Victor Farmiga, the eldest of seven siblings, was born in New Jersey, U.S. in March 1972. His parents, Michael and Lubomyra Farmiga, were Ukrainian immigrants who came to the U.S. after World War II, following the hardships and horrors that their own parents endured during and after the war. They initially lived in Irvington before settling on a large farm in Flemington. Michael worked as a systems analyst before turning to landscaping, while Lubomyra was a schoolteacher.

Victor was raised in a family of faith with a strong connection to their Ukrainian culture and heritage.

She has also explained that their upbringing was not strict, but faithful and respectful of their religious tradition.

“It wasn’t strict. It was just Catholic. I grew up in a Christian home. It’s pretty basic, and probably 60 percent of people do, and it’s no different than that story. The strictness comes with religion in general. Whether you grew up Jewish or Orthodox Jewish or Muslim, there are certain rules and regulations. But my parents instilled in me the importance of defining God for yourself. ”
