Vera Farmiga & Family: Strollin' In SoHo

The Departed actress Vera Farmiga was spotted enjoying a family walk through SoHo, New York with her hubby Renn Hawkey and their two children Fynn, 3, Gytta, 1 on Tuesday (February 7).

The 38-year-old Academy Award nominee - who wore a striped sweater and a stylish black fedora - seemed to enjoy her family time as she and her husband took in the New York sights as they pushed their sleeping babes.

It seems Vera finds humor in circulating rumors that she ritualistically burns bad movie scripts because she has no waste disposal at her country home.

The blue-eyed beauty has long been rumored to have a bonfire at her home in upstate New York and although their is some truth to the stories, Vera claims the reason behind the script burning is due to something entirely different.

“My scripts are watermarked and I don’t want them to end up being sold in St Mark’s Place in the East Village (in New York City) with my name on it, " the actress admits."So it becomes fertilizer and the ashes get dispersed on my garden. But the media has turned it into something far more volatile!”
