My Take
Milla Jovovich fascinates me because she refused the script written for her. The world's highest-paid model could have coasted on beauty campaigns forever; instead she built a career sprinting through science fiction corridors and anchoring action franchises, earning her crown as the genre's reigning queen. Born in Kyiv and remade in Hollywood, she carries a slightly otherworldly intensity that directors have used brilliantly, never quite ordinary, always magnetic. I also respect the range underneath: she sings, she models, she carried decade-long film series on her shoulders. Critics rarely gave those movies their due, but her physical commitment and screen presence deserve serious credit in my book.
Overview
Milica Bogdanovna Jovović (born December 17, 1975), known professionally as Milla Jovovich ( MEE-lə YOH-və-vitch), is an American actress, singer, and former model. Her starring roles in numerous science fiction and action films led the music channel VH1 to deem her the "reigning queen of kick-butt" in 2006. In 2004, Forbes determined that she was the highest-paid model in the world.
