Happy Birthday Mila Kunis: Exploring The Actress' Early Life As She Turns 41
Mila Kunis turns 41 today. Let's look back at her early years, from her Ukrainian beginnings to her big break in Hollywood.
Mila Kunis, a popular American actress, was born Milena Markovna Kunis on August 14, 1983, in Chernivtsi, Ukraine. Today, as she turns 41, we reflect on her extraordinary journey.
Mila was raised in a Ukrainian Jewish family and moved to the United States with her family when she was seven years old. Her parents came to Los Angeles in 1991 with only $250, leaving behind successful occupations in Ukraine. Mila's older brother is named Michael, and her grandparents were Holocaust survivors.
Mila and her family struggled in their new country before settling into their new life in Los Angeles. Mila did not speak English when she first attended Rosewood Elementary School. Because of the language barrier and cultural differences, she felt "blind and deaf" during her early school years, which she describes as exceedingly difficult.
Despite these initial challenges, Mila's determination and resilience shone through. She graduated from Fairfax High School in 2001 after attending Hubert Howe Bancroft Middle School.
To balance her acting career and her education, she worked with an on-set tutor on That '70s Show, where she played Jackie Burkhart. Mila also briefly attended Loyola Marymount University and the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), but had to stop studying due to her burgeoning acting career.
Kunis' career took off with her role as Jackie Burkhart on That '70s Show, which ran from 1998 until 2006. This position was essential to establishing her career. She has also been the voice of Meg Griffin on the cartoon comedy Family Guy since 1999, which is a significant part of her career.
