Milica Bogdanovna Jovović[a][b] (born December 17, 1975), known professionally asMilla Jovovich (/ˈmiːləˈjoʊvəvɪtʃ/MEE-ləYOH-və-vitch), is an American actress, singer, and former model.[2] Her starring roles in numerousscience fiction andaction films led the music channelVH1 to deem her the "reigning queen of kick-butt" in 2006. In 2004,Forbes determined that she was the highest-paid model in the world.
Born inKyiv and raised inLos Angeles, Jovovich began modeling whenHerb Ritts photographed her for the cover of the Italian magazineLei in 1987.Richard Avedon featured her inRevlon's "Most Unforgettable Women in the World" advertisements.[3] In 1988, she made her screen debut in the television filmThe Night Train to Kathmandu and appeared in her first feature film,Two Moon Junction.
Jovovich released her debut album,The Divine Comedy, in 1994, and a follow-up,The People Tree Sessions, in 1998. She continues to release demos for other songs on her official website and frequently contributes to film soundtracks. In 2003, she co-created the clothing lineJovovich–Hawk, which ran until 2008, with model Carmen Hawk.
Jovovich was born on December 17, 1975, in theUkrainian city ofKyiv.[4]Ukraine was aconstituent republic of theSoviet Union at the time. She is the daughter ofGalina (née Loginova), aRussian actress, and Bogdan Jovović, aSerb doctor originallyfrom Montenegro.[5][6][7][8] Galina's parents were fromTula.[5] Jovovich spent most of her early childhood inMoscow, Galina's native city. Jovovich has stated that she was born in Ukraine "pretty much by accident",[9] while she has no memories of her early years there.[10] However, Jovovich "remembers a lot" about her life inRussia.[11]
In 1980, the family moved toLondon, England,[9] and then toSacramento, California, United States,[6] before settling inLos Angeles seven months later. Galina and Bogdan divorced soon after their arrival. In 1988, Bogdan had a relationship with an Argentine woman, with whom he had a son.[12][13] Due to the divorce of Galina and Bogdan years before, Jovovich saw little of her half brother.[14]
In Los Angeles, Galina tried to get acting jobs but found little success because of language barriers. She eventually resorted to cleaning houses to earn money. Galina and Bogdan both served as cooks and housekeepers[9] for filmmakerBrian De Palma.[15] Bogdan was convicted and imprisoned for participating in the largesthealth-insurance fraud ever investigated. He was given a 20-year sentence in 1994[16][17] but was released in 1999.[18] Jovovich has stated, "Prison was good for him. He's become a much better person. It gave him a chance to stop and think."[19]
Jovovich attendedpublic schools in Los Angeles, becoming fluent in English in three months.[20] She was teased by classmatesfor coming from the Soviet Union. She has stated, "I was called acommie and aRussian spy. I was [never] accepted into the crowd."[21] At the age of 12, Jovovich left the seventh grade to focus on modeling,[9] which she had started at the age of nine.[22] According to Jovovich, she was rebellious during her early teens, engaging indrug use, shopping-mall vandalism, andcredit-card fraud.[19] She became anaturalized U.S. citizen in 1994.[23]
Galina had "raised her to be a movie star."[19] In 1985, Galina enrolled Jovovich in acting classes; when her acting jobs picked up, Jovovich started attending school for young actors rather than regular school.[6][24][25] In 1988, Jovovich appeared in her debut professional film role as Samantha Delongpre in the romantic thrillerTwo Moon Junction. Later that year, she appeared in the made-for-television film as Lily McLeod inThe Night Train to Kathmandu. She had several roles in television series, includingParadise (1988),Married... with Children (1989), andParker Lewis Can't Lose (1990).
At the age of 15, Jovovich was cast as the lead inReturn to the Blue Lagoon (1991), oppositeBrian Krause. Given her age and beauty, she was often compared toBrooke Shields, anotherchild model-turned-actress, who had starred inThe Blue Lagoon (1980).[26] The role was controversial as, like Shields, Jovovich appeared nude in the film.[21] Jovovich was nominated for "Best Young Actress Starring in a Motion Picture" at the 1991Young Artist Awards, and "Worst New Star" at the 1991Golden Raspberry Awards. In 1992, Jovovich co-starred withChristian Slater in the comedyKuffs. Later that year, she portrayedMildred Harris in theCharlie Chaplin biographical filmChaplin. In 1993, she acted inRichard Linklater's satiric filmDazed and Confused. She played Michelle Burroughs, the on-screen girlfriend to Pickford (played by her then-boyfriendShawn Andrews). Strongly featured in promotions for the film, Jovovich was upset to find her role much reduced in the released film.[26] Discouraged, she took a hiatus from acting roles,[27] moving to Europe.
Jovovich returned to acting in 1997 with a lead role in the French science-fiction action filmThe Fifth Element, alongsideBruce Willis andGary Oldman. This was written and directed byLuc Besson. She portrayed Leeloo, an alien who helps to save the planet. Jovovich said she "worked like hell: no band practice, no clubs, no pot, nothing"[28] to acquire the role and impress Besson. Jovovich co-created and mastered an alienfictional language of over 400 words for her role.[26] She wore a costume that came to be known as the "ACE-bandage" costume; the body suit designed byJean-Paul Gaultier was made of medical bandages.[26][29]The Fifth Element was selected as the opening film for the 1997Cannes Film Festival, and its worldwidebox office gross was over $263 million, more than three times its budget of $80 million.[30]The Fifth Element was often praised for its visual style; critic James Berardinelli wrote, "Jovovich makes an impression, although her effectiveness has little to do with acting and less to do with dialogue".[31] Jovovich was nominated for "Favorite Female Newcomer" at theBlockbuster Entertainment Awards and "Best Fight" at theMTV Movie Awards. The film inspired avideo game and a planned Leeloo action figure, but the figure was never released due to licensing problems.[32] In a 2003 interview, Jovovich said Leeloo was her favorite role.[33]
In 1998, Jovovich appeared inSpike Lee's dramaHe Got Game, as abused prostitute Dakota Burns; she acted withDenzel Washington andRay Allen. In 1999, she appeared in the music video for the song "If You Can't Say No" byLenny Kravitz. That year she returned to the action genre playing thetitle role inThe Messenger: The Story of Joan of Arc, under direction of Luc Besson. She cut her hair short and wore armour in several extensive battle scenes. Jovovich received generally good reviews for her performance. The historical drama did moderately well at the box office, gaining $66 million worldwide.[34] In 2000, Jovovich appeared as the troubled Eloise inThe Million Dollar Hotel, a film based on a concept story byBono of the bandU2 and Nicholas Klein. Directed byWim Wenders, Jovovich starred alongsideJeremy Davies andMel Gibson; she provided vocals on the film's soundtrack. That year she also played bar owner Lucia, in the Britishwestern filmThe Claim (2000). This was followed by a supporting role as the evil Katinka in the comedyZoolander (2001).
In 2002, Jovovich starred in the horror-action filmResident Evil, released in the United States on March 15, 2002, and based on theCapcom video game series of thesame name. She portrayedAlice, the film's heroine, who fights a legion ofzombies created by theUmbrella Corporation. Jovovich had accepted the role because she and her brother Marco had been fans of the video game franchise.[35] Jovovich had trained inkarate,kickboxing, and combat-training, and had performed all the stunts required in the film, except for a scene that would involve her jumping to a cement platform, which her management deemed too dangerous.[36][37] The film was commercially successful, grossing US$17 million on its opening weekend; it eventually made US$40 million domestically and $102 million worldwide.[38] Later, she portrayed the manipulative gang wife Erin inNo Good Deed (2002), Nadine in the romantic comedyYou Stupid Man (2002), punk rocker Fangora ("Fanny") inDummy (2003), and provided a guest voice on the television seriesKing of the Hill. The role of Fangora inDummy allowed Jovovich to act in film withOscar-winningAdrien Brody, who was a friend prior to filming. Jovovich found it easy to identify with this role because she felt Fangora possessed similar qualities to the actress' own life.[33]
In 2004, Jovovich reprised the role of Alice in the sequel toResident Evil,Resident Evil: Apocalypse. The role required her to do fight training for three hours a day,[33] in addition to the three months prior to filming in which she had "gun training, martial arts, everything".[39]Apocalypse received even more negative reactions from the critics than the first film, but it was an even greater commercial success, ranking number one at the box office. Following the release of the film, Jovovich was unhappy with the critical results and directorAlexander Witt's effort.[40] She noted during an interview that year that her large action films take care of the commercial part of her career, while she acts in "independent little films that never come out" to appease her artistic side, and "It's a good balance".[33] The following year, she was featured inGore Vidal's faux trailer remake ofCaligula, asDrusilla. In 2006, Jovovich's film, thescience fiction/action thrillerUltraviolet, was released on March 3. She played the title role of Violet Song jat Shariff, a role that also involved heavily choreographed fight sequences. It was not screened for critics, but when reviewed, it was critically panned[41] andfailed at the box office, grossing US$31 million worldwide.[42] Also in 2006, Jovovich starred in the independent thriller.45, with Scottish actorAngus Macfadyen.
In 2007, Jovovich reprised her role as Alice inResident Evil: Extinction, the third of theResident Evil series. The film grossed an estimated $24 million on its opening weekend, topping the box-office gross for that week.[43][44] In 2009, Jovovich starred inDavid Twohy'sA Perfect Getaway withKiele Sanchez,Timothy Olyphant, andSteve Zahn. The film is a thriller about a newlywed couple (Milla and Zahn) on their honeymoon in Hawaii. Reviews for the film were mostly positive; whileThe Hollywood Reporter felt that Jovovich gave a "fairly subtle performance",[45]The Globe and Mail noted that she and "[...]Kiele Sanchez manage to bring some dramatic tension to the frightened-girlfriend moments".[46]A Perfect Getaway garnered modest box office returns.[47] Jovovich starred in the science-fiction thrillerThe Fourth Kind,[48] as a psychologist in Alaska who uses hypnosis to uncover memories from her patients of alien abduction. While the film was largely panned by critics, it made US$47.71 million in cinemas worldwide.[49] Also in 2009, Jovovich posed nude in a black-and-white photoshoot for thePurple Fashion magazine.[50]
In 2010, Jovovich returned asAlice[51] in the fourth movie of theResident Evil series,Afterlife, which was directed by her husband,Paul W. S. Anderson,[52] and portrayed the mother of a promiscuous and troubled high school student in the independent coming-of-age dramedyDirty Girl, which premiered at the Toronto Film Festival, oppositeJuno Temple,William H. Macy,Mary Steenburgen, andTim McGraw. In its review for the latter film,The Hollywood Reporter found Jovovich to be "terrific" in what it described as a "sweet [and] sassy period comedy with aJuno sensibility and the soul of aLittle Miss Sunshine".[53][54] Jovovich played the wife of a jailed arsonist inStone, a psychological thriller co-starringRobert De Niro andEdward Norton. Filming began in May 2009 at the recently closed Southern Michigan Correctional Facility in Jackson, Michigan.[55] The film was released in late 2010 to a mixed response.[56] Nevertheless,The A.V. Club noted that Jovovich was "particularly good as a breathy femme fatale who seduces De Niro with a mere change in inflection".[57]
Jovovich starred inPaul W. S. Anderson's romantic action adventure filmThe Three Musketeers, asMilady de Winter, in 2011, alongsideMatthew Macfadyen,Logan Lerman,Ray Stevenson,Luke Evans,Orlando Bloom, andChristoph Waltz. After the lackluster response forMusketeers, Jovovich criticisedSummit Entertainment for not "promoting [the film] properly" as a "family film" in the United States.Deadline Hollywood reported that Summit responded: "She doesn't know what she's talking about and we don't know where she's coming from."[58] She would next headline the little-seen psychological thrillerFaces in the Crowd,[59] which was written and directed by Julien Magnat;[60] in it, she plays the survivor of a serial killer's attack that leaves her suffering from a condition calledprosopagnosia, which renders her unable to recognize faces.[61]Sight and Sound remarked that the film suffered from "a central performance not quite strong enough to win Jovovich recognition as a dramatic actress".[62][63] Also in 2011, Jovovich appeared as a Ukrainian con artist inFamke Janssen's directorial debut filmBringing Up Bobby, alongsideMarcia Cross, and starred in the romantic comedyLucky Trouble, which was her Russian-language film debut.
Jovovich returned to her role as Alice in the fifth installment ofResident Evil forResident Evil: Retribution (2012).[64] She played an ambitious woman and the second wife of the leader of a motorcycle club in 2014'sCymbeline, a film version of the eponymous play byWilliam Shakespeare, and in 2015'sSurvivor, she took on the role of aDiplomatic Security Service/Foreign Service officer at the US Embassy in London. Both films received avideo on demand release in North America, despite theatrical runs abroad.[65][66][67][68] Jovovich made a cameo appearance reprising the role of villain Katinka in 2016'sZoolander 2.[69]Resident Evil: The Final Chapter (2016), the sixth and final film of theResident Evil franchise,[70] starred Jovovich as Alice as she continues her vengeance against Umbrella for the death of her allies and the catastrophe they have caused.Time Out in its review for the film noted: "While the franchise has slackened into dependably dumb post-apocalyptic thrills, star Milla Jovovich has only gotten better, seasoning her long-legged athleticism with a commanding stare".[71]The Final Chapter was the highest-grossing film in the franchise, earning over US$312 million worldwide.[72]
Jovovich had begun working on a music album as early as 1988, when she was signed bySBK Records after the company heard a demo she recorded.[80] In August 1990, she asserted in an interview that the then-forthcoming album would be "a mix betweenKate Bush,Sinéad O'Connor,This Mortal Coil, and theCocteau Twins."[81] After it was initially presented by SBK strictly as apop album, Jovovich protested, insisting on using her personal poetry for lyrics and recording her own instrumental material.[80] Jovovich had written the lyrics and composed the music of the songs when she was fifteen, except a cover of a Ukrainian folk song, "In a Glade". In April 1994, billed under her first name, she releasedThe Divine Comedy, a title that was a reference to theepic poem byDante Alighieri of thesame name. Jovovich had chosen the title after seeing Russian artist Alexis Steele's proposed cover artwork sketch for the then untitled album. Jovovich found that the sketch had "all the struggle that I'm singing about. It is the divine comedy."[80]The Divine Comedy was well received by critics, and features pop-infused traditional Ukrainian folk songs that led to comparisons withTori Amos andKate Bush.[15] John McAlley ofRolling Stone called the album "remarkable", "strikingly mature and rich in invention", and as featuring "angst-laced poetry with vivid melodies and arrangements that find a common spirit insynth pop, European folk and psychedelicdream rock".[82]
Jovovich released the track "The Gentleman Who Fell (Before The Court)", with an accompanyingmusic video, as the sole single from the album. The music video was originally directed byLisa Bonet and featuredHarry Dean Stanton, but Jovovich, unsatisfied with the results, decided to film another video. The second video for "The Gentleman Who Fell", a homage toMaya Deren, was directed by Kate Garner and Paul Archard and was subsequently played onMTV. Jovovich toured the United States and Canada during most of 1994 to promote the album, opening forToad the Wet Sprocket,The Philosopher Kings, andCrash Test Dummies, as well as playing smaller acoustic sets. Jovovich had opted to perform in smaller and more intimate settings, turning down a musical appearance onSaturday Night Live. Jovovich has also been collaborating musically with longtime friend and musician Chris Brenner, who co-wrote with her on the Divine Comedy Album and who was the musical coordinator for the supporting tour. She and Brenner met in 1993 and have since worked together on several ventures.[83] FollowingThe Divine Comedy, she expressed interest in releasing a second album, having had ten songs ready for a future recording that was intended for a mid-1996 release.[21][22]
In May 1999, Jovovich, along with Chris Brenner, formed an experimental band called "Plastic Has Memory", in which she wrote and composed the songs, sang, and played electric guitar.[84] The band was "[m]uch heavier and darker than the vaguely Ukrainian folk-sounding elements of her first album", and it had a similar sound to agrunge andtrip hopPortishead.[85] "Plastic Has Memory" played about a dozen shows in Los Angeles andNew York City for a potentialVirgin Records album release,[86] one of whichMick Jagger had attended.[87] But though "Plastic Has Memory" was featured onHollywood Goes Wild!, a benefit celebrity compilation album, the group never formally released any albums, and had disbanded as of 2021.[88]
Jovovich has contributed tracks to soundtracks of several of her own films, includingThe Million Dollar Hotel (2000) andDummy (2002), and for others films such asUnderworld (2003) produced by musician Danny Lohner, who was the bass player inNine Inch Nails for many years. Her song "The Gentlemen Who Fell" is onThe Rules of Attraction soundtrack of 2002.

She performed the song at the first live Puscifer performance on February 13, 2009, inLas Vegas, Nevada.

"I have aRussian mother, she was a famous actress in the USSR (Galina Loginova). And the first books, which I read, were in Russian. I was raised in the atmosphere of the Russian classical theatre school. The art, built onthe system of Stanislavsky – that's the most realistic art. And the modern cinema stands on the same principle. A Russian person wants to find the truth. This is the base of the Russian culture. I never forget it, especially since I have Russian roots".[134]
When asked if she still feels Russian after having left Russia at a young age, Jovovich replied, "Definitely. I still speak Russian. I speak it with my daughter. I read her Russian stories and poems. My roots are very important—they make me who I am".[11] Speaking about her early years, Milla noted the importance of education in her life, "...my mom raised me in the traditions of her country.
