Mila Jovovich is an American actress born in the Soviet Union. So at first the surname of the actress was read in Russian fashion.
Childhood, family
Mila’s mom is a popular Soviet film actress Galina Loginova, who starred in the seventies in one of the first Russian television series, “Shadows disappear at noon,” which chained millions of viewers to television screens.
Dad of the star - Gods Dzhovovich (Bogdan) - an ordinary pediatrician who came from Montenegro to Moscow to study.
Mila was born in Kiev on December 17, nineteen seventy-fifth, but spent the first years of her life in Dnepropetrovsk. There she began to attend kindergarten. When Mila was four years old, the family moved to London, then to Sacramento, then to the United States, but finally settled in Los Angeles. Life in a new place was not easy - parents earned a living by serving in the house of the famous director Brian de Palma. In addition, at the end of the eighties, the Cold War between the major world powers was gaining strength, and the girl from the Soviet Union caused irritation and hostility.

In America, the name of the future star began to sound in a new way. Now she became not
Jovovich, and Jovovich. In the early eighties,
Galina Loginova perfectly understood that her acting career could be forgotten forever, and she decided to bet on her daughter. It would seem that the external data is not bad. Mila Jovovich, whose height is 172 centimeters, and weighs only 55 kilograms, had a model appearance. But it was necessary to hire teachers for music, dance, and tutors for acting. All the money from the family budget went to pay for these specialists. As it turned out later - not in vain.
First photo shoots
At the age of eleven, Mila first appeared on the pages of the Italian glossy magazine Lei. Then there was a photo shoot for Mademiselle. It would seem that show business was ready to accept the young beauty into its ranks, but the public took with hostility the fact that the girl was still a minor. This reason has even become the topic of American talk shows. However, while experts debated and argued, Mila starred for another dozen publications.
First movie roles
As you know, a model’s career cannot provide long-term and worldwide popularity. This idea was constantly inspired to the girl by her mother. Therefore, she began to actively attend various auditions. The list of films with Mila Jovovich opens the picture "The merger of two moons." It was a debut work in the cinema. However, participation in this work did not bring the expected popularity. Mila Jovovich, whose filmography is large enough, felt the first rays of fame after the film "Return to the Blue Lagoon."
A year later, another interesting proposal came in, which she accepted with pleasure. Milla played the wife of Charlie Chaplin - Mildres Harris in the movie "Chaplin." The greatest comedian was played by Downey Jr. Films with the participation of Mila Jovovich continues the picture "High in Confusion," in which the actress played a cameo role.

Return to the cinema
However, during this period, it became clear to Mile that her main affection was cinema. In 1966, the actress takes part in the casting of the film "The Fifth Element" of the famous Luke Besson.

It should be noted that all the films with Mila Jovovich are quite popular, but with the tremendous success that The Fifth Element was waiting for, nothing could compare. Immediately after the release of the picture, the actress became a world-class star. Curious, but this film significantly changed the personal life of Jovovich. She became the wife of the famous Luke Besson. Remembering what attracted her to the great director, Mila talked about his strength and reliability. Unfortunately, this marriage can hardly be called long. It lasted only three years. In nineteen ninety-nine, the alliance finally broke up.
