Mila Kunis (born 1983) is an American actress, most famous for playing Jackie Burkhart on That 70s Show and voicing Meg Griffin on Family Guy.

She was born in the Soviet Union; her family moved to the U.S. after the fall of communism. In the '90s, she appeared in small roles in TV series (Baywatch, Walker, Texas Ranger, 7th Heaven) and films (Piranha, Santa with Muscles). Her breakout role was of Jackie on That 70s Show, which ran from 1998 to 2006. Kunis is now known as the voice of Meg Griffin on Family Guy, replacing the original voice actress Lacey Chabert . She appeared in films during her run on That '70s Show, but her career only took off after the series ended. In 2008, she starred in the Romantic Comedy Forgetting Sarah Marshall, co-produced by Judd Apatow. In 2009, she appeared in the film adaptation of Max Payne, and Mike Judge's comedy film Extract. In 2010, she starred in the post-apocalyptic action film The Book of Eli alongside Denzel Washington and had a small role in the comedy Date Night. Her next film was Darren Aronofsky's ballet drama Black Swan, where she played Natalie Portman's rival. In 2011, she starred in the romantic comedy Friends With Benefits along with Justin Timberlake.

She has also appeared in a few music videos, most notably "Jaded" for Aerosmith and voiced Tanya Winters in the video game Saints Row.

Also agreed to go out with a Marine who asked her out via YouTube.

Tropes used in Mila Kunis include:

• Dawson Casting: Originally averted with both That 70s Show and Family Guy; when cast, she was as old as her characters. However, they remained teenagers while she grew up.
• Dyeing for Your Art: She lost 20 pounds to play a ballerina in Black Swan (then quickly regained it after filming).
• Even the Girls Want Her: After filming Black Swan, Mila got quite a large female fanbase.
• Fake American: She has lived in the U.S. for so long very few people realize she is actually Ukranian.
• Girl-On-Girl Is Hot: The lesbian scene between her and Natalie Portman in Black Swan has gotten some attention.
• Loophole Abuse: How she got her role on That 70s Show in the first place. She told the producers she was going to be 18, but didn't tell them that it would take four more years.
• Mean Character, Nice Actor: Despite playing snobby and cruel Jackie, she is known to be very sweet and likeable.
• Mismatched Eyes: She has a green and a brown eye.
• Non-Singing Voice: In the Family Guy episode "Don't Make Me Over", Meg became a star singer. Since Kunis can't sing, Tara Strong performed Meg's songs.
  • Although in "Road to North Pole", she was briefly heard singing with the rest of the cast (Tara Strong was not singing in her place at that time).
• Old Shame: She's not proud of her roles in Santa with Muscles and American Psycho II.
• One Head Taller: She's 5' 3". She played Ashton Kutcher's (6' 2") girlfriend on That 70s Show, and Jason Segel's (6' 4") on Forgetting Sarah Marshall.
• One of Us: She's a fan of Star Trek, World of Warcraft and Farmville. Mike Judge said she can quote Rejected.
• Really Seventeen Years Old
• Playing Against Type: Her performance in Black Swan as Lily.
• Sesame Street Cred: She appeared on Sesame Street in 2011 to teach kids about the word "include".
• You Didn't Ask: All who auditioned for her role in That '70s Show were required to be at least 18 years old; she was 14 at the time, so she told the casting directors she’d be 18 on her birthday, but didn't say which one. Though they eventually figured it out, the producers still thought she was the best fit for the role.
• Younger Than They Look: She appeared to be at in her mid-to-late teens when she was just 14, which is how she managed to get away with trying out for That '70s Show at such a young age. Subverted, though, because she's pushing 30 now and looks to be in her early-to-mid-twenties.
