Firearms Friday with Milla Jovovich

Actress/model/singer/fashion-designer/director Milla Jovovich was born in 1975, and she began modeling as a young teen in the late 1980s. After a couple roles in sitcoms like "Married with Children" and "Parker Lewis Can't Lose", she began appearing in films, with "Chaplin" (1992) and "Dazed and Confused" (1993) being the first films where she began to fully get the attention from the movie-going public she deserved.

It was with "The Fifth Element" (1997) that Jovovich first played the sort of role that she became most closely associated with: That of a woman who can kick the ass of all comers, whether she is armed or not. Throughout the 2000s, and into the present day, she has performed Gun-Fu in many big-budget films, across several genres (with the "Resident Evil" films being foremost among these). She has always, however, balanced roles in these big-budget action films with appearances in comedies, dramas, and more artsy action films with smaller budgets.

Milla Jovovich has been a constant favorite of ours throughout the years, and the Milla Jovovich Quarterly is the longest-running post series on this blog. You can see more from her by clicking on the tag below, as well as on our sister blogs, Terror Titans, Cinema Steve, and Watching the Detectives. (Meanwhile, we're also looking forward to seeing her in "Monster Hunter", as well as to find out what she'll be playing in the screen adaptation of the "Corto Maltese" graphic novel series.
