Milla Jovovich
Five years ago, I wrote a blog post in praise of this Ukranian born model-actress-singer-fashion designer quadruple-threat:
Then there’s her inexplicable choices of roles. She apparently was once quoted as saying ‘I’m still an artist. I’m never gonna do a shit movie, because I’ve got my modeling to support me.’ That doesn’t really explain much of her movie career, fraught as it is with flops and monster flicks . Surely she gets offered more average love-interest roles than a gun-wielding zombie killer. Yet, for reasons than aren’t apparent, she goes with the zombie killer.
She’s surely had one of the weirdest careers in Hollywood. Whether she’s playing a drugged-old high school girl or Joan of Arc, she’s feirce and lovely in every role.
Incidentally, Ms. Jovovich really started her movie career with Return to Blue Lagoon. Put she was only 15 years old when she shot it, so the Ghost World Rule applies. At 34, has she hit her peak yet?
Dazed and Confused (1993)

The Fifth Element (1997)

The Messenger: The Story of Joan of Arc (1999)

Zoolander (2001)

Resident Evil (2002)

Ultraviolet (2006)

Thanks to Boris for the suggestion of Milla. He’s of Germanic descent, and thus has affection for Eastern European starlets.
Have a suggestion?
Suggest the works to be considered and send us some images and you’ll put a heater on the hotness. (Read: speed it up.)
