Taissa Farmiga, an American actress, was born on August 17, 1994. She hails from Whitehouse Station, New Jersey, and is the younger sister of actress Vera Farmiga. Known for her appearances in numerous horror films, she has gained recognition as a prominent scream queen.

Encouraged by her sister, Farmiga embarked on her acting career by making her debut in Vera Farmiga’s film, Higher Ground (2011). Subsequently, she gained prominence for her work on the anthology series American Horror Story, where she starred in the seasons Murder House (2011), Coven (2013–2014), Roanoke (2016), and Apocalypse (2018).

Since 2011, Taissa Farmiga has slowly but surely made herself known as an actress to look out for in both television and film, and now, 12 years later, she has built up a pretty impressive list of projects. While some of these works may seem obvious, such as American Horror Story and The Nun, others are definitely underrated classics that more people absolutely need to see. All in all, Taissa...
