LAFCA: It's a girl!
Those who follow such things know that the Los Angeles Film Critics Association gave their best actress award to little-known Vera Farmiga for the seen-by-12-people drug addict drama "Down to the Bone."
Well, the actress was so thrilled about the recognition that when she accepted her plaque at Tuesday night's awards dinner in Century City, she promised . . .
. . . "I will name my first-born daughter Lafca in your honor."
Clad in a green gown with a neckline that plunged to her waist, Farmiga, who has moved up to movies directed by Martin Scorsese and Anthony Minghella since the no-budget "Bone" was made, also wanted tapes of L.A. Weekly critic Ella Taylor's praise-filled presentation speech.
"Can I have a recording of that for my Momma?" Farmiga asked. "And one for my home equity loan officer?"
