Milla Jovovich

Milla Jovovich (born in Kiev, Ukraine on December 17, 1975) is an American model, actress, musician, and fashion designer. She has appeared in numerous science fiction and action-themed films.

In 1987 Jovovich began modeling at the age of 12 when Herb Ritts photographed her for the cover of the Italian magazine Lei ("She"). Richard Avedon featured her in Revlon's "Most Unforgettable Women in the World" advertisements, and she also starred in campaigns for major companies. In 1988, Jovovich had her first acting role in the television film, The Night Train to Kathmandu, and that year also appeared in her first feature film, Two Moon Junction.

Jovovich gained attention for her role in the explicit 1991 romance film Return to the Blue Lagoon, as she was then only 16. Her breakthrough role as Leloo in the sci-fi blockbuster The Fifth Element (1997) alongside Bruce Willis and Gary Oldman and directed by Luc Besson, brought her even more attention. She and Besson married that year but soon divorced. She starred as the heroine and martyr in Besson's The Messenger: The Story of Joan of Arc (1999).

In 2002, Jovovich starred in the sci-fi-horror Resident Evil, adapted from the popular video game of the same name. It was disliked by critics, but was commercially successful. She reprised her role in four sequels the most recent, Resident Evil: Retribution, was released in 2012.

Music channel VH1 has referred to her as the "reigning queen of kick-butt" for her roles in various sci-fi and action films and Rebecca Flint Marx of Allmovie said that despite the negative critical response for the Resident Evil films, the franchise has turned Jovovich into an "A-list action star". Her action roles have given her a geek following for which MTV said she was "Every Geek's Dream Girl".  (Wikipedia)
