Taissa Farmiga Interview: A Nudge from Vera Farmiga to American Horror Story, Gilded Age and More

I’ve been lucky enough to cross paths with Taissa Farmiga quite a bit over the years for interviews, but a Collider Ladies Night conversation is different. Farmiga’s had a one-of-a-kind journey in this industry and during our 40-minute chat, we covered as much of it as possible leading up to her latest project, the HBO series, The Gilded Age.
From Downton Abbey creator Julian Fellowes, The Gilded Age kicks off in the United States in 1882, a time that involved a significant conflict between old money and new ways of amassing enormous fortunes. In the Upper East Side of New York City, the former group includes the Van Rhijn household, led by Christine Baranski’s Agnes van Rhijn. Agnes holds tight to the past and keeps an eye out for newcomers who don’t belong, like her new neighbors the Russells.
That’s where we meet Farmiga’s character, Gladys Russell. She’s the teenage daughter of George (Morgan Spector) and Bertha (Carrie Coon). At this point, Gladys should have made her society debut, but Bertha refuses to let Gladys out of lockdown until she can fill her massive ballroom for the occasion. Trouble is, given that the Russells are new to the area, Bertha is finding it rather difficult to earn a place in the local elite social circle.
During our Collider Ladies Night chat, we discussed when her sister, Vera Farmiga, encouraged her to join the cast of her directorial debut, Higher Ground, what it was like joining the ensemble of American Horror Story, how she scored her role in The Gilded Age and so much more!

whats-your-favorite:taissafarmiga

[@thecunninlynguist]

loved her in AHS. It was also fun that they got her into the Conjuring Spinoff, since her sis is in the franchise

[@Bjork4s]

It's nice to have her in a Conjuring movie since she's very talented, it's just a shame that they gave her a bad script to work with. I love Taissa, her performance was fine in The Nun but nowhere near as what Vera brought as Lorraine in the first two Conjuring. Again part of this is due to the script and the direction

[@carlywoodward05]

She is my favourite actor (and person) and hopefully I can be a part of the acting world with her one day

[@neilvarma]

I know it’s not her biggest known roles but I want to acknowledge her in the Mule and teen titans 👏

[@artimraan]

I like her sisters acting so much. Vera is so inclined in every character

[@milhouse14]

Taissa Farmiga plays a teenager in The Gilded Age.
She also played a teenager in AHS which premiered more than 10 years ago.
