She was born in Chernov’tsi, the daughter of Elvira, a physics teacher who ran a pharmacy, and Mark Kunis, a mechanical engineer and cab driver. Her parents are both Jewish. Her family moved to the U.S. when she was seven years old, in 1991, settling in Los Angeles, California. She spoke Russian growing up.
Mila is married to actor Ashton Kutcher, with whom she has two children.
Three of Mila’s grandparents are named Boris, Roza/Rosa, and Yitzhak.
A 23andMe DNA test taken by Mila stated that her genetic ancestry is:
*96%-98% Ashkenazi Jewish
Mila has also said:
The amount of guilt that I’ve perfected the use of – already on my 3-year-old – is magical… I took a 23 and Me test, where you find out… what’s your DNA… and I’m thinking “I’m going to be exotic… there’s going to be something wonderful about me.” No, ya’ll, I am 96% Ashkenazi Jew. You know what that means? I’m inbred. I am really Jewish, you guys. There is nothing about me that’s exotic. I am a Jew. You know what that means? Guilt.

There’s no big mystery here people. She’s a Eastern European Jew, which are known as Ashkenazi Jews. I don’t know why people are acting brand new when some entertainers, actresses, actors, and such in Hollywood are Jewish.
I think I forgot the majority of the Buffy the Vampire Slayer cast.
Sarah Michelle Gellar, Michelle Trachtenberg, Alyson Hannigan, Amber Benson, Seth Green, Juliet Landau are all Jewish, too.
So are David Arquette, Patricia Arquette, Jennifer Connelly, and some other people like Anthony Weiner, Maggie Siff, Katie Segal (Peggy Bundy), Alison Brie, Ben Foster, Jon Foster,
. . . and almost the entire cast of Degrassi: The Next Generation! This includes Lauren Collins, Drake (who is also half black, as everyone knows), Jake Epstein, Stacey Farber, Shane Kippel, Eli Marienthal, Melanie Laurent, Jake Gyllenhal, Maggie Gyllenhal, Josh Peck, Scott Mechlowciz, Michael Rappaport, Anton Yelchin, Selma Blair, James Franco, Shiloh Fernandez, Antonio Sabato, Jr. (Jewish and Italian), Bryan Greenberg, Cole Hauser, Kate Hudson’s brother, of course, River Phoenix, Joaquin Phoenix, Leah Remini, Rashida Jones (who is also half black), Andy Samberg, Matthew Weiner (creator of Mad Men), Noah Wyle, Jennifer Westfeldt (girlfriend of Jon Hamm), Matthew Broderick (Ferris Bueller and Sarah Jessica Parker’s husband), Jami Gertz, Jennifer Jason Leigh, Jane Seymour, Debra Messing (that redhead from show . . . ), Sean Penn, Jeremy Piven, Rebecca Schaeffer, Ally Sheedy, Jamie Lee Curtis, Daniel Day-Lewis, Bob Saget, Bette Midler, Barbra Streisand, and…
The two Coreys: Corey Feldman and Corey Haim!
And how could I forget Kirk Douglas and Michael Douglas!
Marilyn Monroe and Elizabeth Taylor converted to Judaism.
So if you’re a bigot and hate Jewish people for whatever reason, it’s best you never turn on your television screen or rent another film again!
Michael Bay is Jewish, too.
Obviously.
The only bigot here are YOU. And a LIAR.
“David Chase (creator of The Sopranos)”
He’s Italian American not Jewish.
Come
The whole cast of Seinfeld statement isn’t true either. Michael Richards who plays Cosmo Kramer on Seinfeld isn’t Jewish at all. He’s of Scottish ancestry.
You’re probably right. Richards is a Freemason (which originates in Scotland) and mentioned having Scottish ancestry.
She looks like so many arabs I know. As well do many greeks
I’m Turkish and I’ve gotta say, Mila Kohenis (Cohen) definitely looks alot like my sisters. Dark skin, green eyes, Very common in the middle east and turkish regions!
in those areas you can find a lot of people with eurasian influnces
blue eyes and black hair not so rare
soo…. still safe to say she’s white…right?
