Biography

Kyiv, Ukraine (1985 – present)

Milla Jovovich ( /ˈjoʊvəvɪtʃ/ yoh-və-vich; born Milica Jovović, Serbian Cyrillic: Милица Јововић, Ukrainian: Мiліца Йовович; December 17, 1975 in Kyiv, Ukraine) is an American model, actress, musician, and fashion designer. Over her career, she has appeared in a number of science fiction and action-themed films, for which music channel VH1 has referred to her as the “reigning queen of kick-butt”.

Jovovich was born in Kyiv, Ukraine (former Ukrainian SSR, Soviet Union, to Bogdan “Bogić” Bogdanović Jovović, a Serbian medical doctor, and Galina Loginova (after marriage, Galina Jovović), a Soviet actress.

In 1981, when Milla was five years old, her family had to leave the Soviet Union for political reasons and move to London; they subsequently lived in Sacramento, California, USA. Seven months later, they settled in Los Angeles, California. She also has a brother named Marco Jovovich born in 1988.

Jovovich’s mother had “raised to be a movie star” and in 1985, enrolled Jovovich in the Professional Actors school in California. Jovovich had begun working on a music album as early as 1988, when she was signed by SBK Records after the company heard a demo she recorded. In August 1990, she asserted in an interview that the then-forthcoming album would be “a mix between Kate Bush, Sinéad O’Connor, This Mortal Coil, and the Cocteau Twins”. After it was initially presented by SBK strictly as a album, Jovovich protested, insisting on using her personal poetry for lyrics and recording her own instrumental material.
