Additional Milla Jovovich Biography
Milla Jovovich (Serbian: Милица Јововић/Milica Jovović, Ukrainian: Мілла Йовович; Russian: Милла Йовович; born Milica Nataša Jovović on December 17, 1975) is an American supermodel, actress, musician, singer, and fashion designer. Jovovich has been featured in numerious high profile modeling campaigns as well as in Hollywood films. 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".
In 1981, when Milla was five years old, her family left the Soviet Union for political reasons and moved to London. They subsequently lived in Sacramento, California, USA before settling in Los Angeles, California seven months later; Jovovich's parents divorced soon after. Jovovich's mother attempted to support the family with acting jobs, but found little success, and eventually resorted to cleaning houses to earn money. Both her father and mother provided house cleaning services for director Brian de Palma. Jovovich's father was incarcerated for most of her childhood for taking part in a health-insurance scam; he was released in 1999 after 20 years in prison. Jovovich has gone on to say that "Prison was good for him. He's become a much better person. It gave him a chance to stop and think." As a teenager before age 14, she claimed to be rebellious, engaging in drug-taking, shopping mall vandalism, and credit-card fraud. During school, many of the students had teased her because she had immigrated from the Soviet Union during the Cold War. Jovovich said, "I was called a Commie and a Russian spy. I was never, ever, ever accepted into the crowd". In 7th grade, Jovovich left school to focus on her growing career. She also has a brother named Marco Jovovich, born in 1988.
In 2004, Jovovich reprised the role of Alice in the sequel to Resident Evil, Resident Evil: Apocalypse. The role required her to partake fight training for three hours a day, as well as wire work, in Toronto, Canada. Apocalypse received even more negative reactions from the critics than the first film. Following the release of the film, Jovovich was unhappy with the results and director Alexander Witt's effort. She noted during an interview that year, her large action films "have my commercial part taken care of, and for my artistic side, I make independent little films that never come out" and "It's a good balance". The following year, she was featured in Gore Vidal's faux trailer remake of Caligula, as Drusilla. In 2006, Jovovich's film, the science fiction/action thriller Ultraviolet, was released on March 3. She played the title role of Violet Song jat Shariff, a role that also involved heavily choreographed fight sequences and Gun Kata, a fictional martial art combining statistical analysis and gunplay. It was not screened for critics, but when reviewed, it was critically panned. It grossed $17 million at the domestic box office. That year Jovovich also starred in .45, as Kat, the revenge driven wife of a drug dealer.
Jovovich again reprised her role as Alice in Resident Evil: Extinction, the third of the series. The film was the #1 movie at the U.S. box office in its opening weekend, grossing an estimated $24 million in 2,828 theaters. It opened stronger than the previous film, Resident Evil: Apocalypse, which opened with $23 million in 3,284 theaters (over 450 more theaters than Extinction). In a March 2006 interview, Jovovich claimed that she will not appear in another action film "for a long time", citing a want to portray more diverse roles.
Jovovich continues to write songs, which she calls demos, and are provided for free in MP3 format on her website. Jovovich provides license to freely download and remix the tracks, but reserves the right to sell and issue them.
Jovovich currently resides in homes in Los Angeles and New York with fiance, film writer and director, Paul W. S. Anderson; the two met while working on Resident Evil which Anderson had directed and wrote. She is pregnant with his child, a girl, expected on November 4, 2007. The couple has stated that they "would love to , but maybe after the baby." Wim Wenders, who directed Jovovich's film The Million Dollar Hotel, is the baby's god father. She has also stated that she would like to have three children and adopt as well. Jovovich has two miniature Maltese dogs, Bubbles and Madness.
In 2006, Jovovich mentioned her interest in publishing her private diaries as an autobiography. She had kept a diary since childhood, writing about the locations she has traveled and "all the mad things that I've done". Jovovich views it as a a way to "get it all into a book—like an autobiography", and it would have a "diary feel to it". However, Jovovich also noted, "I'm not sure how interested anyone would be in publishing it, or reading it, for that matter."
Despite being a smoker, Jovovich practices yoga and meditates often in attempts to live a healthy lifestyle; although not affilating with a certain religion, she prays and considers herself a "spiritual person". She avoids junk foods and prefers to cook for herself. Jovovich believes in the legalization of Cannabis, and even appeared in a spread for High Times magazine. Jovovich also enjoys playing the guitar, writing in a diary, and writing poems and lyrics for songs. |
