Extensive Info:
MILLA JOVOVICH was born December
17th, 1975 in Kiev, Ukraine, the daughter of
Russian stage actress Gallina Loginova and
Yugoslavian pediatrician Bogie Jovovich.
When Jovovich was five years old, her family
emigrated to Sacramento. Already a startling
beauty at age 11, Jovovich began pursuing an
acting career; when her photograph reached
the offices of the Prima modeling agency, a
somewhat different career path began.
Her first cover, for the Italian fashion
magazine Lei, and a six-page fashion spread
shot by Herb Ritts for a French fashion
magazine, catapulted the young,
barely-trained model to the top ranks. During
her first year, she'd done 15 fashion covers
and countless other shoots, still managing
the time for her studies -- including the
training necessary for runway work -- and,
like any L.A. teen, to "hang out at the
mall."
Having gained international fame, Jovovich
decided to focus upon her original goal. She
made her screen debut in 1988's Two Moon
Junction as the younger sister of Sherilyn
Fenn, and also starred in a Disney Channel
fantasy feature, Night Train to Kathmandu, as
the daughter of two archeologists, who
befriends a magical prince.
Her first toplined feature was 1991's Return
to the Blue Lagoon, and, at 14, she was
featured in Richard Attenborough's Chaplin,
as Mildred Harris, the first wife of the
pioneering film comedian and director. A
brief role in Richard Linklater's high school
comedy Dazed and Confused followed. Though
her screen-time was brief, the role was her
singing debut, as the character gave an a
capella rendition of a few lines from
Jovovich's own composition The Alien Song.
She also starred opposite Christian Slater in
Kuffs.
A student of voice and piano since a very
early age, Jovovich bought her first electric
guitar at the age of 13 and was eagerly
receptive when approached by an agent from
SBK Records. At the age of 15, Jovovich set
to work writing songs for her first album,
but was surprised to learn that the label
wanted to package her as a pop diva, working
with other writers and arrangers. With the
help of her friend Chris Brenner, the teen
engaged in a battle with the label that
eventually resulted in the release of Milla:
The Divine Comedy on EMI Records in 1994 --
her own songs, recorded her own way, and
hailed by such music industry giants as
Rolling Stone magazine.
Putting aside her acting and modeling
careers, Jovovich pursued a strenuous tour
schedule through the remainder of 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.
On the completion of principal shooting,
Jovovich returned to modeling for a handful
of plum assignments.
