She has done extensive modeling since she was eleven-years-old. She speaks Serbian, Russian, French and English fluently. She became a film actress in the late 1980s as a teenager and gained popularity through her appearance in Return to the Blue Lagoon which led to inevitable comparisons between her and another child model-turned-actress, Brooke Shields (who had starred in the original The Blue Lagoon years earlier). Most of her early appearances were in supporting or cameo roles, but by the late 1990s she was receiving top billing and entered the world of action heroes with her performances in two films based upon the video game series, Resident Evil. In 1994, Jovovich, billed under her first name, Milla, released her critically acclaimed first musical album, The Divine Comedy. Featuring many original songs, the album led to comparisons with Tori Amos and Kate Bush, though Jovovich has of late concentrated more on her acting than her musical career. Milla married Shawn Andrews in 1992 during the filming of Dazed and Confused; the marriage was annulled soon after. She later married The Fifth Element director Luc Besson in 1997. They have since divorced. She is currently engaged to director Paul W. S. Anderson though recent reports are that this relationship has also broken down. Partial filmography
