Early-life:
Milla Jovovich was born December 17, 1975 in Kiev. At five-years-old, she and her family left the Soviet Union and moved to London, before relocating to Sacramento California, and finally settling in Los Angeles. Both her mother and father provided cleaning services for director Brian De Palma to make ends meet. She started modelling aged 11, and went on to become one of the world's most sought after models. Milla made her acting debut in 1988 TV movie Night Train To Kathmandu, and then appeared in her first feature film, Two Moon Junction. By 1991 she starred in Return to the Blue Lagoon and in 1993 appeared in cult movie Dazed and Confused.
Career:
In 1997 she starred alongside Bruce Willis in sci-fi blockbuster The Fifth Element, and re-teamed with director Luc Besson for The Messenger: The Story of Joan of Arc in 1999. Milla proved she was an impressive physical actress in action epics, but really proved her worth with the Resident Evil movies. Since 2002, she has played Alice, a zombie-bashing clone in a series which has grossed more than $674million and helped make her one of the most bankable actreses on the planet.
