She Fudged the Truth To Get on 'That 70's Show'

Most people first noticed Mila when she was the spoiled, shallow Jackie Burkhart on the sitcom That 70's Show, but had she not lied about her age, she may not have ever been noticed. Apparently, the producers over at Fox wanted all who auditioned to be 18. Mila told them that she would be 18... she just failed to mention she would be in another three years. Yet, once the producers found out, they decided she was perfect for the role and they let her keep her job.

She Took On An Iconic Role

In Oz, The Great and Powerful, Mila played a certain Wicked Witch of Oz ... though you might not recognize her in that green skin. The film tells the origin story of why the Wicked Witch of the West became so evil before Dorothy ever set foot in Oz.

She Has Two Different Colored Eyes

Mila Kunis has a condition called heterochromia iridium, which basically translates to having two different colored eyes. Her left eye is brown, and her right eye is green. Other famous people with the condition? Kate Bosworth, Robert Downey Jr., and Jonathon Rhys Meyers.

She's Meg Griffin

Although Mila is consistently ranked as one of the hottest women in Hollywood (this year, she's ranked #4 in the Maxim Hot 100) she's played the homely daughter of Peter Griffin on Family Guy since 1999. The fact that such a cool girl plays someone so ... not ... makes us laugh a little harder.

She Starred in 'Ted'

Ted, a raunchy comedy from the mind of Family Guy creator Seth MacFarlane, starred Mila as the long-suffering girlfriend of Mark Wahlberg's character, who is overly attached to his living teddy bear. In addition to being laugh-out-loud hysterical, it also became the highest-grossing original R-rated comedy of all time, even passing The Hangover.

She Doesn't Let This Movie Hold Her Back

American Psycho may have been a cult hit, but the terrible direct-to-video sequel American Psycho 2 was a total train wreck. Thankfully, it didn't stop her from starring in other, better thrillers, like Black Swan — a role for which she won the Marcello Mastroianni Award for Best Young Actress at the Venice Film Festival.
