Much of her first five years was spent traveling back and forth between her father's medical studies in London and their home in Russia.  After those five years, Milla's father decided that his medical practice could not grow any more in the Russian economy. At age 5, Milla moved with her family to Sacramento, California. Unfortunately, during Milla's childhood in the United States, she was antagonized by children who would never let her forget that she was a "commie" in the heat of the Cold War.

At age 11, Milla rose above this relentless torment to begin her acting career. Her first movie, released in 1988, was Two Moon Junction. From that point on, Milla was flying high. Upon her entry in the realm of modeling, the world was amazed by how beautiful and 11-year-old fashion model could be. Milla's acting and modeling careers continued through her adolescence.  At age 18, Milla released her first album, The Divine Comedy. Many critics anticipated a cheesy pop album that they had come to expect from a model/actress turned singer/songwriter. To the surprise and pleasure of music-lovers everywhere, Milla's first album was a beautiful collection of eclectic music that utilized instruments from around the world.  In 1997, Milla starred with Bruce Willis in Luc Besson's The Fifth Element. Her performance as Leeloo forced the world to recognize her as the incredible actress that she is. 

Milla can currently be seen in the second installment of Resident Evil, pretty good movie.  For a full filmography please visit either IMDB.com or MillaJ.com
