Milla Jovovich was being photographed by celebrity
shutterbug Richard Avedon as one of Revlon's "Most
Unforgettable Women in the World," and earning $3,500
for a day's work. Today she is the new Revlon cover
girl. Kudos to you. She is the only child of Russian
film star Galina Loginova and Yugoslav pediatrician
Borgi Jovovich, Milla spent her early childhood
years being carted back and forth between the Soviet
Union and London, where her father completed his
medical studies. Having commanded both the catwalk
and the silver screen during her carrer, Milla has
also set out to conquer the pop music realm. Back
in 1994 she release of her first album, The Divine
Comedy. The 18-year-old had become one of the few,
a model-actress-singer-songwriter.
It was
her appearance in The Fifth Elementby French director
Luc Besson's that finally found the perfect role:
sporting bright orange dreads with lemon roots and
an absolutely fabulous Ace bandage costume created
by designer Jean Paul Gaultier. She captured the
the vision of her audience with this futuristic
heroine. While filming The fifth Element, Director
Luc Besson saw her as the most talented person he
had ever known and the the two hit it off and had
a three year marraige. She sums up her artistic
ambitions as follows: "I just want to make one really
good movie a year. And when I die, to know I was
honest as an artist." Failing that, there are always
those lucrative fashion shoots and that high-profile
cosmetics deal with L'Oreal to fall back on. |
