Vera Farmiga Calls On Teenage Sister To Play Her Younger Self In Directorial Debut
Actress Vera Farmiga had no problems casting the teenage version of her character in new film Higher Ground - she picked her own sibling.
The Up in the Air star makes her directorial debut with the drama and opted to call on her little sister Taissa when she needed a talented young look-alike.
Farmiga tells Bust magazine, "I'm obsessed with her, and have been obsessed with photographing her since she was a kid, because she has a transparency in her face. She has a magical face that's capable of such emotion, and she's just a good sport... She's very easy to direct.
"Nepotism just seemed like it was appropriate in this situation. I didn't read anybody else for the role. She reminds me a lot of myself when I was 16, and so she was the one."
