Milla Jovovich biography:

Jovovich began modeling at eleven, when Richard Avedon featured her in Revlon's "Most Unforgettable Women in the World" advertisements, and Milla Jovovich continued her career with other notable campaigns for L'Oreal cosmetics, Banana Republic, Christian Dior, Donna Karan and Versace. In 1988, Milla Jovovich had her first professional acting role in the television film The Night Train to Kathmandu, and later that year Milla Jovovich appeared in her first feature film, Two Moon Junction. Following more small television and film roles, Milla Jovovich gained notoriety with the romance film Return to the Blue Lagoon (1991), the sequel to The Blue Lagoon. Jovovich then acted alongside Bruce Willis in the science fiction film The Fifth Element (1997), and later played the title role in The Messenger: The Story of Joan of Arc (1999). In 2002, Milla Jovovich starred in the video game adaptation, Resident Evil, which has gone on to spawn two sequels: Resident Evil: Apocalypse (2004) and Resident Evil: Extinction (2007).
Milla Jovovich was torn between two professions, before Milla Jovovich eventually became one of the very few supermodels who also developed a steady and serious film career. In 1988, at age 12, Milla Jovovich made her film debut credited as Milla in a supporting role in Two Moon Junction (1988) by writer/director Zalman King. During the 1980s and early 1990s, Milla Jovovich played several supporting roles as a teenage actress in film and on television, then starred in Return to the Blue Lagoon (1991). In 1997 Milla Jovovich co-starred opposite Bruce Willis in the sci-fi blockbuster The Fifth Element (1997), then Milla Jovovich starred as Joan of Arc, the title character in the eponymous costume drama. In the early 2000s, Milla had a few years of uncertainty in her acting career due to uneven quality of her films, as well as some hectic events in her private life. However, Milla Jovovich managed to overcome her personal crisis. With the leading role as Alice in the 'Resident Evil' trilogy, Milla Jovovich established herself as a film star, and her success in acting career eventually matched her success as a supermodel.
