Milena Markovna Kunis was born on August 14, 1983. She is an American actress. She is perhaps best known for playing Jackie Burkhart on That '70s Show, and for providing the voice for the character of Meg Griffin on the popular animated series Family Guy.
Kunis was born in Kiev, Ukrainian SSR, to a Jewish family, with whom she moved to Los Angeles, California, in the United States, when she was seven. Kunis learned English by watching The Price Is Right; host Bob Barker spoke slowly enough for her to understand. In Los Angeles, where 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 Hope Williams.
Kunis became well known after being cast in the television series That '70s Show, in 1998. She lied about her age when auditioning: although required to be 16 years old, she was actually 14. 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. 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 had several other notable roles, including starring in the Aerosmith music video "Jaded", as well as in several movies, including 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).
Kunis can also be heard as the voice of Meg Griffin in the animated TV show Family Guy.
Kunis graduated from Fairfax Senior High School in 2001. She was ranked #54 in Stuff's "102 Sexiest Women In The World" (2002) and is currently dating former child star Macaulay Culkin. She has heterochromia, which means that her two eyes don't match in color: one is blue, and the other is slightly green. |
