Mila Kunis is an American actress who started a successful television career in 9 years, and by the 15 years she became one of the most popular actresses among young people, thanks to her role in the 70 Show (That '70s Show). Since 1999, she has voiced one of the main characters in the popular animated television show Family Guy (Family Guy).

Her success story was told by the project. ”Museum of Russian-American Heritage".

Milena (Mila) Kunis was born in the city of Chernivtsi (Ukraine) in the family of a successful engineer Mark and the owner of the pharmacy Elvira. In 1991, when the girl was only 7 years old, the family decided to go to America. They arrived in Los Angeles, California, with only $ 250, but very soon they began a new, American, life.

When Mila was 9 years old, her father enrolled her in a drama club at Beverly Hills Studios, where her talent was immediately noticed - she received several roles in commercials. They were followed, in 1994, by an invitation to a role in the television series Days of Our Lives, and then in the legendary series Baywatch, as well as in 7th Heaven, Santa with Muscles, Honey We Shrunk Ourselves and Gia.

Mila’s breakthrough on television was due to the 70's Show, in which the girl played one of the main roles, receiving critical acclaim, teenage love and 13 nominations (3 awards) from Teen Choice Award, Young Artist Award and YoungStar Award.

Many Americans and television viewers abroad - the audience of the extremely controversial (and no less commercially successful) animated series "Family Guy" - know Mila's voice, without knowing the actress herself, or perceiving her exclusively as the character Meg Griffin.

Her film career was not as brilliant - several films in which she was invited to clearly unsuitable roles brought her only criticism; at the same time, she also had outstanding successes. For example, in “Black Swan”, for her role in which she received 15 nominations and 4 awards from various influential organizations, including the title “Best Young Actress” at the Venice Festival.

Most criticisms of Mila by critics are not related to her game, but rather to the decisions of producers inviting her to inappropriate roles.

Kunis played one of the main roles - the witches Theodora - in the fantasy film "Oz: The Great and Horrible", which was released in March 2013. James Franco, Michelle Williams and Rachel Weiss took part in the shooting with her.

In 2014, the actress appeared in 2 films: This Morning in New York and The Third Person. Both films received not the most flattering reviews, but for the latter, Kunis received positive reviews from some film critics for her portrayal of the girl Julia, accused of attempting to kill her own son and trying to regain custody of him at any cost.

In 2015, the fantasy action film Jupiter Ascending premiered, where Mila Kunis played the main role.

Kunis will also produce. Her first project as a producer will be the dramatic television series Meridian Hills, which is scheduled to be shown on The CW. It is noteworthy that Mila will not appear in the television series.

In addition, she was included in the 100 list of the most influential celebrities from Forbes and repeatedly hit the ratings of the sexiest women in the world from a variety of men's magazines. Since 2012, she has collaborated with the fashion house Christian Dior and has become the face of the spring collection.

She is also a politician and supports the Democratic Party. In November 2011, she made a splash by accepting a video invitation to a US Marine Corps ball posted by a Marine sergeant serving on the front lines in Helmand Province, Afghanistan.

The personal life of Mila Kunis, a technology fanatic who gave up social media accounts to avoid hacker attacks and espionage, was a closely guarded secret. It is known that from 2002 to 2011 she dated Makalay Culkin.

Since April 2012, Mila has been in de facto marriage with actor Ashton Kutcher, in February, 2014, the couple announced their engagement. They have a daughter, Wyatt Isabelle Kutcher (1 was born on October 2014).
