Milla Jojovich Pictures

What's Her Story: Milla has been acting since she was 11 years old. Her first taste of the silver screen came in Two Moon Junction (1988) as Samantha, April's younger sister. Amidst some controversy (she was just 15 years old), Milla played Lilli in Return to the Blue Lagoon (1991), the sequel to Brooke Shields' 1980 classic The Blue Lagoon. Milla plays Mildred Harris, the second wife of Charlie Chaplin (Robert Downey, Jr.) in Chaplin (1992), the biography of the legendary silent film comedian. She's in the film for about 15 minutes, but once she and Chaplin separate she's not seen again. Blink and you might miss her in Dazed and Confused (1993). This was undoubtedly the low point of Milla's acting career. Discouraged, she took a temporary hiatus from acting. Milla returned with a bang in her breakout film, director Luc Besson's The Fifth Element (1997). Starring opposite Bruce Willis, Milla's portrayal of the "perfect being" Lee-Loo received high praise from fans and critics. Milla married Luc Besson in December 1997. Milla played the title role in The Messenger: The Story of Joan of Arc (1999), another film by Luc, but Milla & Luc divorced shortly after the film was released. Milla plays the mysterious Katinka in Ben Stiller's comedy Zoolander. Her greatest role is in the video game turned movie Resident Evil, which focuses on a military unit that fights a powerful super computer that is out of control. In order to save the world, the military unit led by Alice (Milla) and Rain (Michelle Rodriguez) must combat hundreds of workers who have mutated into flesh-eating undead due to a laboratory accident. The movie spawned a sequel, Resident Evil: Apocalypse, and is second only to Tomb Raider in popular movies adapted from games.
