BORN: Kiev, Ukraine, on December 17, 1975. She spent her early childhood between London, where her father Bogdanovitch Jovovich was studying; and Russia, where her mother, Gallina Loginova (a famous Russian actress) lived. The family moved to California when she was 5 years old.
DISCOVERED: She began acting at the age of 9, and modeling at 11. Richard Avedon chose her as one of Revlon's "Most Unforgettable Women in the World". Her first cover was for the October 1987 edition of Italian magazine Lei. Her first cover was for the Italian fashion magazine Lei. A six-page fashion spread by Herb Ritts for a French fashion magazine quickly moved Jovovich, the young and barely-trained model, to the top ranks.
In her first year alone, she completed 15 fashion covers and countless other shoots, still managing the time for her studies -including the training necessary for runway work- as well as maintaining her teenage social life. She took the modeling world by storm and impressed critics with her uncanny ability to carry herself at such a young age.
Her first movie was released in 1988, entitled Two Moon Junction, followed by The Night Train to Kathmandu.

Her extremely successful modeling career helped pave the road for her future projects in acting and in the music industry. Her breakout role in The Fifth Element suddenly made her turn into acting a legitimate venture. Though she has gone through quite a few different looks, Milla is still sought out by the fashion industry for her incredible beauty, and captivating uniqueness.
