Mila Kunis

In the Beginning

Mila Kunis was born on August 14, 1983 in the Ukrainian SSR. Her parents had great jobs and Kunis was raised in a somewhat wealthy home, but in 1991 her family moved to Los Angeles, California to pursue opportunities for her and her brother. In the United States, the Kunis family was free to practice their Jewish traditions and pursue their passions, although the transition from one culture to another was anything but easy on the family. Kunis adapted to the lifestyle of an actress after her middle school years, and used an on-set tutor for her high school years on the set of “That '70's Show”.
