Her family moved to Los Angeles, California, in 1991 with Mila and her older brother. While taping That '70s Show for her breakthrough role as Jackie Burkhart, she was taught by a tutor for her high school years in the sets of the studio. When Mila was not on the sets, she attended Fairfax Senior High School in Los Angeles.
Prior to That '70s Show, Mila Kunis had appeared in films such as "Santa with Muscles", "Honey, We Shrunk Ourselves" (as a minor character) and in the Angelina Jolie film "Gia" (as Gia Carangi's younger self) and in a minor role in "7th Heaven".
Mila provided the voice of Meg Griffin in the animated series Family Guy. She is famous for some of her role of Rachel Jansen in the film Forgetting Sarah Marshal. The film also starred Jason Segel, Kristen Bell, Russell Brand, Jonah Hill, Paul Rudd and Bill Hader and her performance won her rave reviews and a Teen Choice Award nomination.
