Russian/German women are so exotic. I sometimes don’t like her but generally I do. she was a very attractive young girl in Blue Lagoon 2. I think that, like with Zooey Deschanel, a lot of her popularity stems from her eye color. if those women had brown eyes (and I love brown eyes), they probably sadly wouldn’t be as popular. But Milla also has very striking Euro looks too her with attractively collides with the American definition of beauty, which is more like one of the Disney Channel girls or Kristen Bell, all of whom are totally Milla’s opposite.

Yes, her mom was born and lived in Ukraine but ethnic Russian! Loginova Russian name and when Milla on was in Ukraine she said on Russian language: “I’m from Kiev, yes. Ukrainian. But mother is Russian.” and also she joked: ‘”Go from here a Russian girl, this is Ukraine!” lol http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WNKsmppxVdI and also her official site http://www.millaj.com/bio.shtml

Yes, but her name Milica is typical Serbian name, and don’t forget that her father ancestry is from Kosovo
