Milla Jovovich was born on December 17, 1975 in Kiev, Ukraine. She is an actress, musician, and model. Her mother was a Russian actress, and her father was a Yugoslavian doctor. As a child she was ridiculed by her classmates for being from Russia during the height of the Cold War. She is multilingual and speaks Serbian, Russian, French and English fluently.
Jovovich started acting in commercials when she was nine years old. She began her professional modeling career when she was eleven, and she was named one of Revlon's most unforgettable women in the world a year later.
She became an actress in the late 1980s as a teenager and gained popularity through her appearance in Return to the Blue Lagoon (1991) which led to inevitable comparisons between her and another child model-turned-actress, Brooke Shields (who had starred in The Blue Lagoon eleven years earlier). Most of her early appearances were in supporting or cameo roles, but by the late 1990s she was receiving top billing and entered the world of action heroes with her performances in two popular movies based upon the survival horror series, Resident Evil (she has reportedly signed for two more films in this series for release in 2006 and 2007).
In 1994, Jovovich, billed under her first name, Milla, released her critically acclaimed first musical album, The Divine Comedy. Featuring many original songs, the album led to comparisons with Tori Amos and Kate Bush, though Jovovich has of late concentrated more on her acting than her musical career, and has appeared on The Crystal Method album Legion of Boom.
Milla married Shawn Andrews in 1992 during the filming of Dazed and Confused; the marriage was annulled soon after. She later married The Fifth Element director Luc Besson in 1997. They have since divorced. She is currently engaged to director Paul W. S. Anderson though recent reports are that this relationship has also broken down.
