Milla is Ukrainian-born but she has been in L.A. since 1981 (when she was 6) giving her L.A. Native status! During high school, I’d see Milla (Professional Actors school ’93) at parties, often with fellow L.A. Natives Jenny Lewis and Seth Binzer, and always rockin’ half braid pig tails (like she does in Dazed and Confused), low-waisted over-sized jeans and shell toe Adidas – pretty typical for a gal back then. According to Wikipedia – Milla claims to have been rebellious as a teenager, engaging in vandalism – but who didn’t spray paint a garage or two in the early 90s. Another friend Amanda Codding (Harvard-Westlake ’94) was designing for her and model Carmen Hawk’s clothing line “Jovovich-Hawk” until it cessed operations last year. I do, however, have a giant gold bag from a Jovavich-Hawk party I went to for the launch of their collaboration line with Mango (Spain’s answer to H&M) at the Chateau a while back.

This weekend, Milla Jovovich married her boyfriend and baby-daddy, director Paul W.S. Anderson; their 20-month-old daughter, Ever Gabo was in attendance. The two met during production of Resident Evil – she was the actress – he was the writer/director/producer. Who isn’t guilty of a little “set fever” in this town. They have been engaged since March 2003.

According to People.com … Saturday evening the wedding took place at their L.A.-area home; the wedding was a small affair in the backyard and was attended by family and close friends, including “Grey’s Anatomy” star Patrick Dempsey. The yard was decorated with red-and-white floral arrangements. The magazine goes on to report that Jovovich wore a gown of her own design that she described as a “1960s minidress,” and the couple exchanged matching 18k Neil Lane classic gold wedding bands. Anderson made his debut as the writer-director of “Shopping”, which starred Sean Pertwee, Jude Law and Sadie Frost as thieves who smashed cars into storefronts.

Milla has a number of musical achievements you can read about on her website.
