Ukrainian-born actress Mila Kunis turns 33 today. She is one of a seemingly endless cohort of actors and actresses who got their start in the 1990s in one or more of 1) the line of hip horror films inspired by Scream, 2) high school romantic comedies, or 3) teen-oriented television series, often airing on The WB network or Fox. Out of them all, she is one of the few to go on to a successful career–if, like Berry, she’s not quite an A-list actress, she’s pretty high on the “B-list.”
Kunis got her first big breaks in US television in the late 1990s. She was cast as Jackie Burkhart on That ’70s Show when she was 14–even though the producers were reportedly looking to cast only performers 18 or older. A year later, she added vocal acting to her resume by taking over the role of Meg Griffin on Family Guy, a part she continues to voice today.
About a decade later her film career started to take off when she played the lead in the romantic comedy Forgetting Sarah Marshall. She followed that up in 2010 by receiving a Golden Globe nomination for Best Supporting Actress, along with a lot of other critical praise, for her role as Natalie Portman’s understudy in the ballet drama Black Swan:
Kunis has continued to be successful since then; her current movie, Bad Moms, has already earned domestic box office that’s nearly triple its production budget; this follows in the wake of successes such as Ted and Oz the Great and Powerful.
