Milla Jovovich is a legitimate triple threat: she began modeling at age 11, appeared in the movie Two Moon Junction at age 13, and released her first musical album (The Divine Comedy) at age 18. Her role as Leeloo, the exotic beauty in Luc Besson's 1997 fantasy The Fifth Element, kicked her film career into high gear. Jovovich was born in the Ukraine; she and her parents emigrated to the U.S. when she was five. In 1997 she married Besson; the two were divorced in 1999. Her other movies include the comedy Zoolander (2001, with Ben Stiller), Dummy (2003, with Jovovich as an aspiring punk rocker), and the video-game crossover Resident Evil (2002, with Michelle Rodriguez) and its sequels Resident Evil: Apocalypse (2004) and Resident Evil: Extinction (2007).

CINCINNATI—Screen star Milla Jovovich, famed for her work in Resident Evil, Resident Evil: Apocalypse, and The Fifth Element, was inducted to the Basic Cable Hall of Fame in a semi-lavish ceremony held in the organization's Swayze Auditorium Friday. Honored for her countless appearances on TBS, TNT, USA, and other networks, Jovovich was introduced by basic-cable legend Brian Dennehy, who called her "one of America's most familiar thespians." Said Jovovich, "When I appeared in Luc Besson's artistically ambitious Joan Of Arc alongside Dustin Hoffman so many years ago, I never imagined I'd wind up here." Her latest work, Resident Evil: Extinction, is expected to reach basic cable later this year. "Thank you for this distinction, and thank you for not insisting that I wear a miniskirt for this event," Jovovich added. The actress joins such basic-cable luminaries as Renegade's Lorenzo Lamas and Sliders' Jerry O'Connell in accepting the industry's 17th-highest honor.

Milla Jovovich was torn between two professions, before she eventually became one of the very few supermodels who ... developed a steady and serious film career. In 1988, at age 12, she made her film debut credited as Milla in a supporting role in Two Moon Junction (1988) by writer/director Zalman King. During the 1980s and early 1990s, she played several supporting roles as a teenage actress in film and on television, then starred in Return to the Blue Lagoon (1991). In 1997 she co-starred opposite Bruce Willis in the sci-fi blockbuster The Fifth Element (1997), then she starred as Joan of Arc, the title character in the eponymous costume drama. In the early 2000s, Milla had a few years of uncertainty in her acting career due to uneven quality of her films, as well as some hectic events in her private life. However, she managed to overcome her personal crisis.
