#shorts. Mila Kunis then and now. Mila Kunis was born on August 14, 1983, in the Ukraine. Her mother, Elvira, is a physics teacher who runs a pharmacy, and her father, Mark Kunis, is a mechanical engineer. She stated in 2011 that her parents had "amazing jobs", and that she "was very lucky growing up” the family had decided to leave Soviet Ukraine because her parents saw "no future" there for Mila and her brother. In 1991, when she was 7 years old, her family moved to Los Angeles, California, with only $250.
Kunis stated that they were not allowed to take much with them. Her parents had given up good jobs and degrees, which were not transferable. They arrived in New York on a Wednesday and by Friday morning her and her brother were at school in Los Angeles. Kunis comes from a Jewish family and has cited antisemitism in the former Soviet Union as one of several reasons for her family's move to the United States. At age nine, Kunis was enrolled by her father in acting classes after school at the Beverly Hills Studios, where she met Susan Curtis, who would become her manager.
In 1998, Kunis was cast as Jackie Burkhart in the Fox sitcom That '70s Show. All who auditioned were required to be at least 18 years old; Kunis, who was 14 at the time, told the casting directors she would be 18, but didn’t say when. Though they eventually found out, the producers still thought Kunis was the best fit for the role. That '70s Show ran for eight seasons. She won two Young Star Awards as Best Young Actress in a Comedy TV Series in 1999 and 2000 for her performances.
In 1999, Kunis replaced Lacey Chabert in the role of Meg Griffin on the animated sitcom Family Guy, created by Seth MacFarlane for Fox. Kunis won the role after auditions and a little rewrite of the character, in part due to her performance on That '70s Show. Kunis's breakout film role came in 2008, playing Rachel in the romantic comedy Forgetting Sarah Marshall. She gained further critical acclaim and accolades for her performance in the thriller Black Swan (2010), for which she received nominations for the SAG Award and the Golden Globe Award for Best Supporting Actress.
Her other major films include the action films Max Payne and The Book of Eli , the romantic comedy Friends with Benefits, also the fantasy film Oz the Great and Powerful as the Wicked Witch of the West. In her personal life Kunis began dating her former That '70s Show co-star Ashton Kutcher in 2012. They got married during the first weekend of July 2015. And now they have two children and reside in a farmhouse in Beverly Hills.
