The daughter of a Yugoslavian
father and a Russian mother, Milla Jovovich moved to the United States in 1981
from the Ukraine.
Beginning
to model by the age of nine, by twelve she was named one of Revlon's Most
Unforgettable Women in the World. She began acting, appearing in Two-Moon
Junction (1988), which led to a starring role in Return to the Blue Lagoon (1991).
Her disappointment with subsequent small roles in such movies as Kuffs (1992)
and Dazed and Confused (1993), led her to stop acting for a time. Jovovich returned
to the big screen in Fifth Element (1997) and also appeared in He Got Game (1998)
and as Joan of Arc in The Messenger:
The
Story of Joan of Arc (1999). Also a singer and songwriter, in 1994 Jovovich released

Luc Besson in 1997 but filed for divorce in 1999.
