Milla Jovovich / Milica Bogdanovna Jovović

Born on December 17, 1975 (Kyiv, Ukraine).

You probably fell for her instantly — that fiery-haired alien Leeloo in Luc Besson’s The Fifth Element (1997), a whirlwind of charm and otherworldly grace. And then, for fifteen relentless years and six adrenaline-fueled Resident Evil films, she was humanity’s fiercest defender against the undead. Few could match her sheer determination — perhaps only Kate Beckinsale, the iconic huntress of vampires and werewolves, or Emma Stone in her zombie-slaying Zombieland adventures, could give her a run for her money. Like Eva Green, she has worn the mantle of Milady de Winter, proving that some roles are so iconic they demand to be revisited by the most magnetic actresses of their time. And when the apocalypse arrived again, she stood tall in Future World (2018), fought colossal creatures in Monster Hunter (2020), endured the suffocating depths of Breath (2024), and braved fantasy wastelands in In the Lost Lands (2025).

But Jovovich isn’t only a warrior on screen. Like Mélanie Laurent and Scarlett Johansson, she has also pursued a music career. Her cult-classic album The Divine Comedy (1994) revealed an ethereal voice and lyrical depth that surprised critics and captivated fans, followed by band projects and songs woven into the very films she starred in. Music, like cinema, became another battlefield where she proved her artistry, moving between intimate folk and cinematic soundscapes with the same intensity she brings to saving the world.

Married. Mother of three children.
