Born in Ukranian SSR, she shifted to USA at the age of seven. Her father enrolled her into acting school at a tender age of nine. After doing minor roles on various television shows, Mila got her first major break in the form of 'That 70's Show', a sitcom where she played the role of Jackie Burkhart, a young, rich, annoying immature girl. She was 14 at that time; the minimum age requirement for the role being 18, she lied her way into it. The producers liked her so much, that they hired her despite all of this!

The show was an instant hit and catapulted Mila's career!
