Mila Kunis is a Ukrainian-American actress best known for her work as Jackie Burkhart in the sitcom “That ’70s Show” as well as her voice acting for Family Guy. From humble beginnings in the entertainment industry all the way to being a supporting cast member in Black Swan opposite Natalie Portman, Kunis’s trajectory in show business has been one of pure success.
With 37 credited appearances in films, 27 television series, and five musical videos, this 40-year-old Ukrainian-American actress has proven that she can do everything from comedy to drama and horror, and despite being nominated for a Golden Globe, she hasn’t been credited by her peers with an Academy Award. Now, setting those things aside, what is Mila Kunis net worth? How much is she making per film and what is the state of her finances?
Mila Kunis Career
Mila Kunis was born in Ukraine in 1983 to a Jewish family, her mom, a physics teacher, and her dad a mechanical engineer, moved to the United States when the USSR started to ease travel for its citizens. She speaks fluent Russian, and you’ve seen her impeccable American English accent because as soon as her family could flee from communism, they settled in Los Angeles in 1991. But that Cali accent she boasts wasn’t always like that because by the time she and her family landed in California, she couldn’t speak a word of english, she struggled to adapt, eventually making it, and big.
She went to the Hubert Howe Bancroft Middle School, then went to Fairfax High School, enrolled in UCLA and then transferred to Loyola Marymount.
Kunis began acting since age nine, with initial appearances in Days of Our Lives, Baywatch, Walker, Texas Ranger, and eventually landing a few roles in movies like Honey, We Shrunk Ourselves, and the HBO Biopic on Gia Carangi opposite Angelina Jolie as a young Gia.
That ’70s Show
By 1998, Kunis, who was only 14 at that time auditioned for a role in what was then a period piece sitcom about a group of friends in the 1970s. The project was “That ’70s Show”, she was cast as Jackie Burkhart. Fun fact: Mila Kunis lied about her age to get the part, every auditioning member had to be at least 18 years old, she told the producers that she would be 18 soon, but didn’t specify when. So all those edgy scenes about teen sex and kisses and the works you see in those early seasons of the sitcom, that was totally illegal Mila Kunis.
It was in That ’70s Show that Kunis cemented her pathway to stardom playing a peppy, rich, spoiled girl with a penchant for superficiality. She went on to voice Meg Griffin in Seth MacFarlane’s Family Guy, and from there she’d start a working relationship with him that led her to film Ted opposite Mark Wahlberg a few years later. She did the main role for the Aerosmith “Jaded” video.
Movie Star
From That ’70s Show, Kunis kicked off her acting career in movies, she worked in American Psycho 2, in Get Over It with Kirsten Dunst, and then several other movies. She earned a part in the Judd Apatow-produced film “Forgetting Sarah Marshall” and went on to work with Ben Affleck and Jason Bateman in Extract (2009), in The Book of Eli (2010) with Denzel Washington.
Then came her big breakthrough role, a Golden Globe nominee performance in the Darren Aronofsky horror drama Black Swan opposite Natalie Portman. After that, she worked with Justin Timberlake in “Friends with Benefits”, and then moved on with several other projects like Third Person under the direction of Paul Haggis opposite Olivia Wilde and Liam Neeson or in lighter roles like Bad Moms opposite Christina Applegate.
