Profile:
Milla Jovovich was born in Kiev, Ukraine to Galina Loginova and Bogich Jovovich. Her mother was a Russian actress, and her father was a Yugoslavian doctor. Her family moved from Russia to the United States when she was five, settling in Sacramento, California.
Jovovich started acting in commercials when she was nine years old. She began her professional modeling career when she was eleven, and she was named one of Revlon's most unforgettable women in the world a year later. She became the youngest model to be on the cover of MADEMOISELLE when the photographer, Avedon, threatened to withdraw his services if they refused to use the photo. At sixteen she starred in RETURN TO THE BLUE LAGOON, a role which gave her even more time in the spotlight. Not content to be just an actress and a model, Jovovich produced a record album, THE DIVINE COMEDY, when she was nineteen. Since 1997 she has enjoyed a steady film career and displayed her musical talent on the soundtrack to THE FIFTH ELEMENT.
