Jovovich recently wrapped two independent films, including "Faces in the Crowd," a psychological thriller centering on a woman (Jovovich) who barely survives an attack by a serial killer and wakes up in hospital with a head injury that leaves her "face-blind" (prosopagnosia).

"Bringing Up Bobby" is the story of a European con-artist (Jovovich) and her son Bobby, who find themselves in Oklahoma in an effort to escape her past and build a better future. Olive and Bobby blithely charm their way from one adventure to another until Olive's criminal past catches up with her. Consequently, she must make a choice: continue with a life of crime or leave the person she loves most in an effort to give Bobby a proper chance in life. The film was shot over the course of one month in summer 2010 in Oklahoma.

Jovovich will reteam with director Paul W.S. Anderson on "The Three Musketeers." Jovovich will portray Milady de Winter alongside a cast which also includes Christoph Waltz, Orlando Bloom, Luke Evans and Mads Mikkelson. Filming begins in September in Europe.

At the age of eleven, Jovovich was spotted by photographer Richard Avedon, who featured her in Revlon's "Most Unforgettable Women in the World" advertisements. In October 1987, she was on the cover of the Italian fashion magazine Lei, her first of many covers. In 1988, she signed her first professional modeling contract.

Milla has appeared in hundreds of magazines and on dozens of covers. She has been featured in ad campaigns for several brands, including Banana Republic, Christian Dior, Damiani, Donna Karan, Gap, Versace, Mango, Etro. Milla has been an international spokesmodel for L'Oréal cosmetics since 1998. In addition to L'Oréal, Milla has been in campaigns for L'Oréal, ICB, Ann Taylor, and Mercedes-Benz recently.

Milla's early modeling led to acting roles, and in 1988 she appeared in her first film role in the romance thriller Two Moon Junction. Her first leading role was in "Return to the Blue Lagoon" in 1991, for which she was nominated for the "Best Young Actress Starring in a Motion Picture" in the 1991 Young Artist Awards. She appeared on some TV shows around this time and also in the films "Kuffs" (1992), "Chaplin" (1992), and "Dazed and Confused" (1993).

Milla's breakout role was as Leeloo, the perfect being in Luc Besson's "The Fifth Element" (1997). She later starred in several other action movies besides the "Resident Evil" trilogy such as "Ultraviolet" (2006), "A Perfect Getaway" (2009), and "The Fourth Kind" (2009).

Milla has also been in several comedies and dramas, including Spike Lee's "He Got Game" (1998), "The Messenger: The Story of Joan of Arc" (1999), "The Claim" (2000), "The Million Dollar Hotel" (2000), "Zoolander" (2001),"Dummy" (2003), "No Good Deed" (2003) and "You Stupid Man" (2003).

In 1994, Milla released her critically acclaimed folk album, "The Divine Comedy." Inspired by a love of "elves and magic trees," Milla wrote the lyrics at 15 and recorded the album when she was just 16. Acoustic, folky, and hard to categorize, the eleven songs on "The Divine Comedy" are laced with Slavic sadness and X-istential self-doubt. "In a Glade" is a beautiful traditional Ukrainian folk song that Milla sings in her native tongue.

Milla led a band called Plastic Has Memory which played about a dozen shows in Los Angeles and New York City in 1999. Although Plastic Has Memory never released a record, they did contribute one song, "On the Hill," to "Hollywood Goes Wild," a benefit CD for The Wildlife Waystation.

Milla performed the song "Left and Right" at Fashion Rocks in London, England in October 2003 (MP3). She has also had songs on several albums, including 2 cover versions of Lou Reed's "Satellite of Love" on "The Million Dollar Hotel" soundtrack (2000), "Rocket Collecting" on the "Underworld" soundtrack (2003), and "Shein Vi Di L'Vone" & "Mezinka" (Yiddish Klezmer songs) on the "Dummy" soundtrack (2003).

Milla has collaborated with Puscifer (Maynard James Keenan of Tool and A Perfect Circle) several times. She sang on "Rev 22:20" on the "Underworld" soundtrack (2003) and also on the Renholder remix of The Cure's "Underneath The Stars" on the "Underworld: Rise of the Lycans" soundtrack (2009). Milla also sings on "The Mission" and performed live with Puscifer at The Pearl in Las Vegas on February 13, 2009. Milla sang on "We Are Family" (2001) (American Red Cross benefit CD), "Former Lover" from Deepak Chopra's album, "A Gift of Love II: Oceans of Ecstasy" (2002), and "I Know It's You" by The Crystal Method (2004). Milla continues to write demos. These demos are available here for free. Fans are encouraged to enjoy them and remix them, but may not sell them.
