Born Milena Markovna Kunis on August 14, 1983, in Chernivtsi, Ukraine, Mila Kunis and her family moved to Los Angeles when she was 7-years-old. To help adept to their new surroundings, Mila's parents enrolled her in an acting program at Beverly Hills Studio where she was introduced to her future talent manager Susan Curtis. She quickly began landing minor roles in productions like the family drama series 7th Heaven (1996 - 1997) before obtaining her big break as Jackie Burkhart in the sitcom That '70s Show (1998) at the age of 14.

Her success as an over-privileged, selfish rich girl guided her to a voice-over role as Meg Griffin in Fox Network's animation series Family Guy, followed by a role opposite Kirsten Dust in the drama Get Over It (2001) and American Psycho II: All American Girl (2002) with Macaulay Culkin, whom she began dating while filming, but later broke up with in 2010. After That '70s Show came to end in 2006, Mila gained the attention of critics and audiences, playing a hotel concierge in the comedy Forgetting Sarah Marshall (2008) alongside Jason Segel.

In 2010, Mila received true critical and commercial success with her performance in Darren Aronofsky's mystery thriller Black Swan opposite Natalie Portman. Her portrayal of Lily, a starved and dedicated ballerina, earned her both a Golden Globe and Screen Actors Guild Award nominations for Best Supporting Actress. She ended out the year co-starring alongside Hollywood legend Denzel Washington in the action adventure Book of Eli (2010) and appearing in the romance-comedy Date Night (2010) with Steve Carell and Tina Fey prior to starring in the comedy Friends with Benefits (2011) opposite Justin Timberlake.

Mila's most recent projects include, the adult-animated-comedy Ted (2012) alongside Mark Wahlberg, the drama Tar (2012) with James Franco, the comedy drama The Angriest Man in Brooklyn (2013) opposite Robin Williams, the animated-comedy Hell & Back (2013) with Susan Sarandon and Danny McBride, the adventure fantasy Oz: The Great and Powerful (2013) with James Franco, Michelle Williams and Rachel Weisz, the thriller Blood Ties (2013) alongside Clive Owen and Zoe Saldana, the romance-drama The Third Person (2013) with Liam Neeson, Adrien Brody, Olivia Wilde and Kim Basinger, and the sci-fi film Jupiter Ascending (2014) opposite Channing Tatum.
