Biography of Mila Kunis
Mila Kunis was born on August 14, 1983, in the Ukrainian city of Chernivtsi, in a Jewish family. Her father worked at the "Legmash" factory, and her mother was a physics teacher at a school. Along with Mila, they raised their elder son, Mikhail. In 1991, after the collapse of the USSR, the family moved to Los Angeles.

Early Life and Career
In the beginning, Mila had a difficult time adjusting. She didn't know the language or the culture, but she was immediately enrolled in Rosewood School. According to the actress, she felt blind and deaf during the early days. However, there was no turning back. Realizing this, Kunis started studying English, but not from textbooks. She learned English by watching the game show "The Price is Right" every day. Gradually, Mila mastered the language and developed a great interest in dramatic arts.

At the age of 9, her parents enrolled her in an acting school in Beverly Hills, where she met Susan Curtis. According to Mila, her encounter with Curtis played a crucial role in her life. Soon, Susan became Mila's manager and started promoting her in the industry. Mila's cute face and acting skills worked their magic, and she became a regular face in commercials and television programs. In 1994, she appeared in a Barbie doll commercial. That same year, she made her television debut as young Hope Williams in an episode of the soap opera "Days of Our Lives." However, her breakthrough was still far away.

It took four more years for Mila to be noticed and offered a role that would be a turning point in her career. In 1998, luck smiled upon Mila Kunis as she was cast as Jackie Burkhart in the TV series "That '70s Show." Since the candidates had to be legally adults, the young girl said that her birthday was approaching soon. When the director found out that Kunis was only 14, it was too late. Her acting skills impressed the creators of the show so much that they decided to keep her. Her role in the series, which lasted from 1998 to 2006, brought her numerous youth awards and great popularity.

Success and Personal Life
In 2001, Mila graduated from Fairfax High School and briefly attended the University of California. However, she had already made up her mind about her calling: acting. Soon, she faced her first major challenge - playing the friend of the main character in the film "Get Over It" (2001). She passed this test with great success, and critics wrote about a new rising star with a great future. They were not wrong, but perhaps they were a bit premature.

After the release of the film "American Psycho 2" (2002), in which Mila played her first leading role, many were disappointed. The actress was also not thrilled with the movie or her performance. In addition, she strongly opposed the idea of making a third part. This situation had a negative impact on Kunis' career, and she was forgotten by producers for several years. Mila once said that luck is a chance that comes once in a lifetime, but it needs to be worked on. After the failure of "American Psycho 2," Mila had a difficult time, but her hard work and belief in herself paid off. In 2008, her career took off with the romantic comedy-drama "Forgetting Sarah Marshall," in which she played a key role. The film was a commercial success and gained immense popularity. Critics were delighted with her performance, and she was nominated for a Teen Choice Award.

Films like "Max Payne" (2008), "Extract" (2009), and "The Book of Eli" (2010) solidified Kunis' success in Hollywood. She became increasingly popular, but it was her role as Lily, a rival ballerina in the psychological thriller "Black Swan" (2010), that truly cemented her place in the industry. The film won numerous awards, and Kunis was nominated for a Golden Globe and won a Saturn Award for Best Supporting Actress. She also received the Marcello Mastroianni Award for Best Young Actress at the Venice Film Festival. "Black Swan" became a breakthrough film in Mila Kunis' career, establishing her as a beloved actress and earning her the respect of critics. Her place among Hollywood actors became secure.

In 2011, Mila starred alongside Justin Timberlake in the romantic comedy "Friends with Benefits," and in 2012, she appeared with Mark Wahlberg in the comedy "Ted." These works showcased her talent as a versatile actress. One of Mila's recent roles was as Theodora, the Wicked Witch of the West, in the fantasy film "Oz the Great and Powerful" (2013), which further proved her abilities as an established actress. Currently, the public eagerly awaits the release of the science-fiction film "Jupiter Ascending" (2015), in which Mila plays the lead female role.

Mila Kunis' personal life has always been under the scrutiny of the media. It is known that she dated "That '70s Show" actor Danny Masterson, and later had a relationship with the show's director, Morgan Freeman. In 2002, Kunis entered into a romantic relationship with actor Macaulay Culkin. Several years later, there were reports that they were getting married, but the actress denied these rumors. In 2010, Mila and Macaulay officially broke up but remained friends. A year later, Kunis started dating actor Ashton Kutcher. In September 2014, the couple welcomed their daughter, Wyatt Isabelle, and soon after, they got engaged. Rumors of their wedding were officially confirmed. In March 2015, Mila revealed on The Late Late Show with James Corden that she had married Kutcher.
Besides her work in film, Mila Kunis is also involved in the modeling industry. In 2012, she signed a contract with Christian Dior to become the face of their spring collection. The actress has appeared on the covers of magazines such as Glamour, Cosmopolitan, and Harper's Bazaar. In 2012, Esquire magazine named Kunis the sexiest woman in the world.
Mila Kunis attributes her success to hard work and dedication. According to the actress, she believes in fate and luck, but achieving success requires a lot of effort. She considers meeting her manager, Susan Curtis, as a miracle in her life. Curtis believed in her and taught her everything about the film industry. From that point on, Kunis' success depended solely on herself. Therefore, she believes that one should not be afraid of their dreams. However, she emphasizes the importance of hard work to make those dreams come true.
