11-year-old
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.
