'The Conjuring' series is one of the highest grossing horror franchises in Hollywood and its latest instalment 'The Nun' got some great reviews as well. However, Valak, the demon nun who has scared us out of our wits and will continue to do so for the rest of our lives, is not an animated figurine but a very talented actress called Bonnie Aarons.

Aarons is a trained actor from New York, but had her own share of struggles after she was told her peculiar looks, especially her nose won't help her in landing mainstream roles.

However, in today's world of cinema, art and talent are appreciated and looks are taking a backseat. Interestingly, Aarons had a small role in the popular movie 'The Princess Diaries' and its sequel, before landing the role of the demon nun in  'The Conjuring' series.
