When the horror film The Nun - a spin-off of the hit series The Conjuring was released, the public noticed the heroine Sister Valak. It is worth mentioning that actress Bonnie Aarons who plays Valak has a rather special face.

Sister Valak first appeared in the 2016 film The Conjuring 2, which revolved around a spiritual case in a film based on the true story of the Hodgson family in 1977. In Enfield, England, mother Peggy and her four children witnessed supernatural phenomena. Valak is a follower of this family, eventually destroyed by the psychic couple Warren.

Thanks to the success and impression of the ghostly character in The Conjuring 2, the movie The Nun produced and released in 2018 is considered a prequel, telling about the origin of this character. The Nun is set in a Romanian monastery in 1952.

After taking a nun's own life, the Vatican sent Sister Irene and Sister Burke to investigate with Frenchie's help. Despite defeating Valak, the culprit behind the mysterious deaths, Frenchie is invaded by evil spirits and later helped by the psychic couple Warren.

In The Nun II, the character will return as the main antagonist of the film with the setting of a monastery in France in the 1950s of the last century, continuing to instill haunting fear in the characters in the film.

Bonnie Aarons reprised her role as the iconic Valak throughout her career. Although Valak hardly has any lines, the gruesome expression that actress Bonnie Aarons displays under the makeup makes this character impressive and also extremely haunting.

But have you ever wondered what the actor behind that horror image looks like in real life?

Accordingly, because of hiding behind the scary makeup, in real life, many people do not realize Bonnie Aarons is the one who brings success to Valak. Although she has acted in many movies, she is only really known for this evil character. Bonnie Aarons' role as the devil is like a horror movie icon.

In real life, Bonnie has a long nose, a rather masculine face plus mysterious deep eyes. When it came to the role of Sister Valak, the actress was immediately noticed. Many also shared that they saw similarities to understand why the director chose Bonnie for the female lead role of this horror film.

Speaking in an interview, Bonnie Aarons said she's glad a woman can finally succeed with the kind of role that's almost always dominated by men in the genre.

Bonnie Aarons was born on June 3, 1979 in Los Angeles. Before her role as Sister Valak, she was known for playing Bum in Mulholland Drive (2001), Baroness Joy von Troken in The Princess Diaries (2001) and The Princess Diaries 2: Royal Engagement (2004).

Another famous horror movie that Bonnie has acted in is "Drag Me to Hell" with a small role.

Bonnie Aarons studied acting at a school in New York. She once expressed concern about being unemployed in this job because of her poor appearance, too "fancy". However, Bonnie has found her own direction when she is often chosen as the portrayal of villains, horror demons.

However, because she only pursued a fixed and secretive film line in her private life, Bonnie is still not really a famous star in Hollywood. The role of Sister Valak was a special highlight in her career that helped her gain attention in the international market.

Suffer "warmth" when the studio "throws" money

In August, Bonnie Aarons accused Warner Bros. Discovery of deliberately rigging her financial statements in order not to pay her the money she deserved.

The actress' legal complaint is against Warner Bros., New Line Cinemas and Scope Productions, accusing the three entities of failing to fulfill their contracts. Aarons signed a film contract for $71,500 for his role in "The Nun."

The original budget for the film was only $ 22 million, while it grossed $ 365 million at the box office, becoming the highest-grossing film in the cinematic universe The Conjuring. The cinematic universe including 7 films The Conjuring, Annabelle, The Conjuring 2, Annabelle: Creation, The Nun, Annabelle Comes Home, The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It has grossed more than $ 2 billion in total.

It is worth noting that the contract states that the actress will receive $ 175,000 if the film is a commercial success, along with a part of the commission paid from sales of character-related items such as statues, jewelry, stuffed animals and pictures.

Now, Aarons has filed a complaint in Los Angeles Superior Court. Accordingly, she claimed Warner Bros. cheated to not pay her the money the actress deserved. Under the contract, Aarons received 2.5% of the proceeds from the sale of character-related items. Although the studio released a detailed report on revenue, the actress insisted that it was not the real money that Warner Bros. raked. When asked to provide comprehensive financial records, Warner Bros. provided only a summary spreadsheet for a small portion of the products sold.
