Mila Kunis - Biography |
|
|
|
Kunis was born in Kiev, Ukrainian
SSR, Soviet Union (now Ukraine), daughter of Elvira, a drugstore manager
and physics teacher, and Mark Kunis, a cab company executive and
mechanical engineer. Her family is Jewish and moved to Los Angeles,
California in 1991. Kunis learned English by watching The Price Is Right;
host Bob Barker spoke slowly enough for her to understand. In Los Angeles,
she attended Hubert Howe Bancroft Middle School, Kunis took after-school
acting classes and was cast in minor roles in children's programs and
television commercials, appearing in a 1994 episode of Days of Our Lives
as a young Hope Williams.
Kunis became well known after being cast in the television series That
'70s Show in 1998. During the auditions, all persons auditioning for the
roles in the show were required to be at least 18 years of age, so Kunis
told the casting staff at the audition that she was going to be 18 on her
birthday (not specifying which one): after receiving the part, she was
kept on the role despite having misled the directors as she had been
considered the best fit for the character and was thought to have been
creative in her way of gaining the audition despite her age; she was 14 at
the time of the audition and had turned 15 by the time the show began
filming. Kunis has stated many times that she is nothing like Jackie, her
character on the show, insisting that she is really more of the cute
girl-next-door type with a dash of tomboy thrown in for good measure.
Before the program, Kunis had appeared in the 1997 film Honey, We Shrunk
Ourselves as a minor character (the daughter's friend), and in the
Angelina Jolie film Gia, as Gia's younger self. Despite this docile
description, she has shown a different attitude by her sultry appearance
on the cover of the men's magazine Stuff in December of 2005.
Kunis has also had roles in the Aerosmith music video "Jaded", The Strokes
music video "The End Has No End", as well as several movies, such as
Piranha (1995), Santa with Muscles (1996), Krippendorf's Tribe (1998), Gia
(1998), Get Over It (2001), American Psycho II: All American Girl (2002),
and Tony n' Tina's Wedding (2004). She starred with Jon Heder in the 2007
film Moving McAllister.
Kunis is the voice of Meg Griffin in the animated TV show Family Guy, and
of several characters on the Adult Swim show Robot Chicken. She has acted
as the voice of Tanya Winters in the video game Saints Row. She is filming
a movie in Fiji called Boot Camp. She guest starred on Grounded for Life
as Brad's ex-girlfriend from space camp.
Kunis was ranked #54 in Stuff's "102 Sexiest Women In The World" (2002);
Maxim named her #47 on its 2006 Hot 100 list. She is dating actor Macaulay
Culkin.
According to the DVD commentary of the Family Guy movie (during the third
part in which Kunis was a commentator), Kunis claims that one of the
reasons her boyfriend likes her is because of her role on Family Guy; He
is a big fan of the show. She goes on to say that it was because of Culkin
that she actually sat down and watched the show (having never done so
before).
Mila stated in the DVD commentary of Family Guy Volume 4 that both of her
grandfathers were Holocaust survivors, one of whom was forced to work
digging mass graves.
She is heterochromatic, which means her two eyes are different in color.
One is blue while the other has a tint of green. |
