It's not really about the hair, but that's a good way to remember. Vera Farmiga, an actress who's been on the brink of big things for years, can look back at the crazy time in 2005 when she was shooting both The Departed, in which she plays a Boston police psychologist, and Breaking and Entering, in which she's Oana, a smoky-voiced London streetwalker, and think about her `do. 

"I had a six-week hiatus, when Jack Nicholson was to be working on The Departed, so I shipped off to London for Breaking and Entering," Farmiga recalls. "And I had my Departed extensions under my Oana wig."
