Mila Kunis is an American actress best known for playing ‘Jackie’, the noisy, chirpy, self-centered affluent girl on the American comedy ‘That ’70s Show’. Although she has moved on from ‘That ’70s Show’ and produced a lot of successes, she is most known for her irritating personality and abundant comedic timing. She has since appeared in other television programs and shows, including the cartoon comedy ‘Family Guy’ and a minor role in the television drama series ‘7th Heaven’. When she first began her cinematic career, the majority of her pictures were released much later than expected.
Although her career began as a juvenile actress, she began playing more adult and demanding parts around 2000. She was cast in ‘Get Over It’ with Kristen Dunst in 2001, and the following year, she participated in ‘American Psycho 2’, a horror thriller that was published straight on DVD.
She starred in the 2004 film ‘Tony and Tina’s Wedding,’ which was released in theaters three years later. Although her performance received mixed reviews, the film as a whole did not fare well in the box office.

In 2010, she was cast as the gloomy character ‘Lily’ in the psychological thriller film ‘Black Swan’. Although Natalie Portman played the female protagonist, the film became one of Kunis’ most successful, earning her several accolades.
In 2011, she co-starred with Justin Timberlake in the American romantic comedy ‘Friends with Benefits’. The film was a huge success and was nominated for multiple awards. She is believed to have had one of her greatest unorthodox performances in the film.
