Mills Jovovich was born this day in the Soviet Union to an actress mother and a doctor father. Pictured in “5th Element” she actually married the film’s director, Luc Besson, that same year. Her family immigrated to the US, and when her mother couldn’t land acting jobs because of language barriers, she resorted to cleaning houses. Eventually her parents were the maid and cook for director, Brian De Palma. In the 90s, her father was convicted and imprisoned for being part of one of the biggest healthcare frauds ever committed and released 5 years later. Probably best known for her role in the “Resident Evil” franchise, she later ended up married to the writer/director Paul WS Anderson. She was “discovered” by Herb Ritts, speaks four languages and has long advocated for legalizing marijuana. . . . . . . . #millajovovich #residentevil #5thelement
