Mila Kunis wallpaper I

Milena Markovna "Mila" Kunis (Ukrainian, Russian; born on August 14, 1983) is an
American actress. She is best known for her television roles, playing Jackie Burkhart on That '70s Show and providing the voice of Meg Griffin on the animated series Family Guy. She is also well-recognized for some of her roles in film, such as Rachel Jansen in Forgetting Sarah Marshall and as Mona Sax in Max Payne.
Kunis was born in Kiev, Ukraine to a Jewish family. Her mother, Elvira, is a physics
teacher and drug store manager, and her father, Mark Kunis, is a mechanical engineer
and taxi driver. She also has an older brother. Her family moved to Los Angeles,
California in 1991. She says that her English improved from watching The Price Is
Right. In Los Angeles, she attended Hubert Howe Bancroft Middle School. She was
mostly taught by an on-set tutor for her high school years while taping That '70s
Show. When not on the set, she attended Fairfax Senior High School. She briefly
attended Loyola Marymount University in Los Angeles, California.
At age nine, Kunis took acting classes after school at the Beverly Hills Studios,
where she met her first and current manager Susan Curtis. She began appearing in
print-ads, catalog and TV commercials for children's products like Lisa Frank
products, Mattel's Barbie Doll and Payless Shoes. She also modeled for a Guess girls'
clothing campaign. Her first TV role was as the young Hope Williams on an episode of
the popular soap opera Days of our Lives.[citation needed] She had a minor role on
7th Heaven as Lucy's nemesis and supporting roles in Santa with Muscles, Honey, We
Shrunk Ourselves and the Angelina Jolie film Gia, as Gia Carangi's younger self,
prior to her breakthrough role on That '70s Show.
Kunis was cast as Jackie in the television series That '70s Show in 1998. During the
auditions, all people auditioning for the roles in the show were required to be at
least 18 years old, so Kunis told the casting staff at the audition that she was
going to be 18 "on her birthday" not specifying to which birthday she was referring.
She was actually 14 at the time of the audition and after receiving the part, she was
able to keep on the role despite having misled the directors. 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.[citation needed] Kunis has stated many times
that she is nothing like Jackie, her character on the show. She has been nominated
seven times for a Teen Choice Award for playing Jackie, but never won.
She is the voice of Meg Griffin in the animated TV show Family Guy for which she has
received a 2007 Annie Award nomination, and of various characters on the Adult Swim
show Robot Chicken. She voiced Tanya in the video game Saints Row.
Kunis has appeared in music videos like Aerosmith's "Jaded", Vitamin C's "The Itch",
The Strokes' "The End Has No End" and Mams Taylor feat. Joel Madden's "LA Girls",
which the video also starred Carmen Electra.
She had more film roles during or after That '70s Show—the teen film Get Over It,
American Psycho II: All American Girl, After Sex, Boot Camp and Moving McAllister.
Kunis' breakout movie performance was in the role of Rachel Jansen in the 2008 movie
Forgetting Sarah Marshall. The performance won her rave reviews and a Teen Choice
Award nomination. Also in 2008, she starred alongside Mark Wahlberg in the action
movie Max Payne, portraying character Mona Sax. The film is based on the popular
video game of the same name.
In December 2008, Kunis was featured in Gap's "Shine Your Own Star" Christmas
campaign with other celebrities such as Jennifer Hudson, Jason Bateman, Mary-Louise
Parker, Jon Heder and others.
In upcoming films, she will star alongside Ben Affleck and Jason Bateman in the
comedy Extract and in Zombieland. She has been confirmed to star alongside Denzel
Washington in the action film The Book of Eli. She has also been confirmed to join
the comedy Date Night starring Tina Fey and Steve Carell.

her #47 on its 2006 Hot 100 list. In 2008, she was ranked #81 on the Maxim Hot 100
