Evolution of Milla Jovovich | 1975 - 2023

Mila Jovovich was born in 1975 in the Soviet Union, in the capital of the USSR, Kiev. When Mila was five years old, her parents moved first to London and then to America. The family settled in Los Angeles, but their rosy dreams of becoming successful quickly collapsed. Left alone and realizing that the dream can only be realized by hard work, Mila's mother gave all her time and money to develop her daughter, who began taking classes in music, ballet and acting. Mila's first photo appeared in the Italian fashion magazine Le' Editors, learning that the young beauty is only 11 years old, at first refused to print the picture, but the photographer Richard Avedin gave them an ultimatum. Hype around the age of a beautiful girl contributed to the fact that she began to often photograph. The first contract with Mila was signed when she was 12 years old. On the wave of success in the fashion world, Jovovich made her debut in the sci-fi blockbuster, The Fifth Element, along with the already famous Bruce Willis and Gary Oldman. The role of the alien Lilu was a starring role in Jovovich's career and elevated her to the heights of Hollywood's A-list stars. The actress drew her next lucky ticket by starring in Paul Anderson's zombie action film Resident Evil and its five sequels. Mila is now married to director Paul Anderson. Having met in 2002 on the set of Resident Evil, they married seven years later. The spouses continue to love each other and are raising three daughters.
