Milica Natasa Jovovic (Milla Jovovich)was born on December 17, 1975, in Kiev, Ukraine. Though she spent the first five years of her life in the Soviet Union, Milla Jovovich and her family relocated to the United States and eventually settled down in Los Angeles. Her parents split up a short time later, and Milla’s mother -- a performer in her native Kiev -- briefly attempted to make a living as an actress before eventually taking on house-cleaning jobs. Though Milla Jovovich picked up English within three months of moving to America, she found that many of her peers picked on her because of her accent and her communist background.
Milla Jovovich Models For Revlon:
Milla Jovovich’s striking looks were in place virtually since birth, and by the time she was 9 years old, she had become a fixture within the modeling world’s auditioning circuit. After being signed by the Prima Modeling Agency, Milla Jovovich began popping up in a variety of print ads and other campaigns -- though it wasn’t until famed photographer Richard Avedon discovered Milla that big things started to happen for her. She was immediately placed alongside two other models in a campaign for Revlon makeup, and Milla Jovovich quickly found herself being asked to pose for such prestigious names as Donna Karan and Versace.
Milla Jovovich in Return to the Blue Lagoon:
Through her increasingly high-profile modeling career, Milla Jovovich showed an interest in acting and even attended California’s Professional Actors school to hone her craft. In 1988, Milla made her professional debut with a small role in the erotic drama Two Moon Junction, which she quickly followed up with one-episode appearances in sitcoms like Married with Children and Parker Lewis Can’t Lose. Milla Jovovich’s big break came in 1991 when she was cast in a leading role in Return to the Blue Lagoon, which, although not exactly a box-office bonanza, certainly propelled the struggling actress to the forefront of most avid moviegoers’ minds.
