Only child of Russian stage
actress Gallina Loginova and Yugoslavian pediatrician Bogie Jovovich,
Milla was five years old when her family emigrated to Sacramento.
Already a startling beauty at age 11, Jovovich began pursuing an acting
career, but when her photograph reached the offices of the Prima modeling
agency, a somewhat different career path began.
Having gained international fame through
modeling, Milla focused upon her original goal, making her screen
debut in 1988's Two Moon Junction and starring in Night
Train To Kathmandu. Her first commercial feature was 1991's, Return
to the Blue Lagoon, and at 14, she was featured in Richard Attenborough's
Chaplin.
A student of voice and piano since a
very early age, Jovovich bought her first electric guitar at the age
of thirteen, started writing her first album at fifteen, and released
that album to critical acclaim at eighteen.
Putting aside her acting and modeling
careers, Jovovich pursued a strenuous tour schedule through 1994 and
the start of 1995. She was preparing to enter the studio to begin
work on her second album when the opportunity to star in The Fifth
Element arose. She is currently starring in Resident Evil.

*Milla
on TV
On Resident Evil..."I started
out as a blonde lipstick wearing girl with a cute jacket, and became
a blonde, lipstick wearing girl with a cute jacket carrying a gun."
"I just want to make one really good movie a year. And when
I die, to know I was honest as an artist."
"I wish you could be successful without being famous."
