Mila Kunis' family moved to the United States when she was seven, and she soon developed an interest in acting. Her first significant role came at the age of 14 when she was cast as Jackie Burkhart in the hit television sitcom "That '70s Show" (1998-2006). Her portrayal of the self-absorbed, rich girl became one of the show's most beloved characters, marking her breakthrough in the entertainment industry.

In 2008, Kunis received widespread acclaim for her role in the romantic comedy "Forgetting Sarah Marshall." Her performance as the free-spirited hotel receptionist showcased her comedic talents and ability to handle lead roles in major films.

Her performance in "Friends with Benefits" (2011), alongside Justin Timberlake, further solidified her position as a leading actress in romantic comedies.

Beyond film, Kunis has been a voice actress for the character Meg Griffin on the animated series "Family Guy" since 1999.

Early Life

Mila Markovna Kunis was born on August 14, 1983, in Chernivtsi, Ukraine, then part of the Soviet Union. Her parents, Mark and Elvira Kunis, moved the family to Los Angeles when Mila was seven, bringing only $250 due to Soviet restrictions on how much money citizens could take abroad. Although her parents were educated professionals, their credentials were not recognized in the U.S., forcing the family to start over.

Kunis struggled to adjust during her early years in America, particularly with the language barrier and cultural shift. Acting classes eventually helped her build confidence and improve her English. By high school, she was balancing education with her budding career, often tutored on set while filming "That '70s Show."

Television Career

Kunis began acting at age nine after enrolling in an after-school program. Discovered by a talent manager, she soon landed her first audition and booked a Barbie commercial. She appeared in guest roles on shows like "Days of Our Lives," "Baywatch," and "7th Heaven" before landing her breakout role in 1998.

At just 14, she was cast as Jackie Burkhart on "That '70s Show," despite the role being written for an 18-year-old. Producers were impressed by her audition and overlooked her age, and she went on to play Jackie for the show's full eight-season run from 1998 to 2006. The sitcom became a cultural touchstone, and Kunis's performance won her awards and a loyal fan following.

In 1999, she was cast as the voice of Meg Griffin on Seth MacFarlane's animated sitcom "Family Guy." Her natural teenage voice helped define the character, who is often the target of jokes and disdain from other characters. Kunis has voiced Meg for more than two decades, making it one of her longest-running roles. The gig also became one of her most reliable sources of income, with voice actors earning around $100,000 per episode plus royalties from syndication and merchandise.

Film Career

Kunis began transitioning to film in the early 2000s, with roles in movies such as "Get Over It" (2001) opposite Kirsten Dunst and "American Psycho 2" (2002), though many of her early projects struggled critically or commercially. Her breakthrough came in 2008 with "Forgetting Sarah Marshall," where her performance as a charming hotel receptionist earned widespread praise and showcased her comedic talents.

She followed with a role in the action film "Max Payne" (2008) and gained acclaim in Mike Judge's comedy "Extract" (2009). In 2010, she starred in the post-apocalyptic thriller "The Book of Eli" and the ensemble comedy "Date Night," but it was her performance in Darren Aronofsky's "Black Swan" that marked her greatest critical success. Starring opposite Natalie Portman as a rival ballet dancer, Kunis underwent intense physical training for the role, earning Golden Globe and Screen Actors Guild nominations. The film grossed $329 million worldwide and solidified her reputation as a serious actress.

Kunis then starred in a string of box office successes. In 2011, she headlined the romantic comedy "Friends with Benefits" with Justin Timberlake, which earned $150 million worldwide. The following year, she co-starred in Seth MacFarlane's raunchy comedy "Ted," a surprise hit that grossed $549 million. In 2013, she played Theodora, the Wicked Witch, in Disney's "Oz the Great and Powerful," another blockbuster that grossed nearly $500 million.

Her career remained busy in the mid-2010s, with projects ranging from the sci-fi epic "Jupiter Ascending" (2015) to the successful comedies "Bad Moms" (2016) and "A Bad Moms Christmas" (2017). While not all films were critical successes, they consistently performed well at the box office. Later roles included "The Spy Who Dumped Me" (2018), "Four Good Days" (2020), which premiered at Sundance, and "Luckiest Girl Alive" (2022), a Netflix adaptation she also produced. She has also appeared in episodes of "Curb Your Enthusiasm," "The Boys," and reprised Jackie Burkhart in Netflix's "That '90s Show."

Family Guy Salary

The principal "Family Guy" voice actors each earn around $100,000 per episode, translating to about $2 million per year. They also receive additional royalties from DVDs, merchandise, and syndication deals. By comparison, voice actors on "The Simpsons" command higher salaries, but "Family Guy" has provided Kunis with steady income and financial security for decades.

Production Ventures

In 2014, Kunis co-founded Orchard Farm Productions, a film and television production company launched with partners Susan Curtis, Cami Curtis, and Lisa Sterbakov. The company has focused on developing a slate of projects across genres, with an emphasis on female-driven stories. Through Orchard Farm, Kunis has expanded her role in Hollywood beyond acting, positioning herself as a producer with creative influence behind the camera.

One of the company's most notable projects to date is the Netflix feature "Luckiest Girl Alive" (2022), based on the bestselling novel by Jessica Knoll. Kunis not only starred in the film but also served as a producer, bringing the adaptation to the screen and earning praise for both her performance and her role in shepherding the project. Orchard Farm has several additional projects in development, reflecting Kunis's growing interest in shaping narratives that reflect her own sensibilities as both an actress and a storyteller.

Personal Life

In 2002, Kunis began dating actor Macaulay Culkin, and the relationship attracted considerable media attention. They separated amicably in 2011. Shortly after, she rekindled a friendship with her "That '70s Show" co-star Ashton Kutcher, and the two began dating in 2012. They married in 2015 and have two children together. The couple has been noted for keeping their family life relatively private, despite both being major Hollywood figures.

Real Estate

Kunis and Kutcher have invested heavily in real estate. In 2002, Kunis purchased a condo in West Hollywood for $540,000. In 2008, she bought a $2.9 million home in the Laurel Canyon neighborhood of Los Angeles.

Together, the couple acquired a $10.2 million home in Beverly Hills in 2014, which they sold in 2022 for $10.35 million. In 2017, they bought a $10 million beachfront property in Carpinteria, California, consisting of two houses totaling 3,100 square feet.

Their primary residence is a six-acre compound in Beverly Hills, nicknamed "KuKu Farms," which was featured in Architectural Digest in 2021. The eco-friendly, modern farmhouse-style estate reflects their focus on family life and sustainable living.
