Named the “reigning queen of kick-butt” by VH1 in 2006, Milla Jovovich’s character in Resident Evil was an unmatched BAMF (man or woman), not to mention a tough, kickass female role model. Following her breakout role in the very-90s “5th Element”, she paired with director Paul WS Anderson to make the Resident Evil film series, the highest grossing film series based on a video game, even if critics widely regarded it as cheesy, technically rough, gratuitously violent and narratively simple. The main protagonist in the movies, Milla trained in various martial arts and combat training to prepare for her role and she did the vast majority of her own stunts. Aside from her extensive filmography, she is a musician and model. Likewise, she advocated for cannabis legalization and has spoken out on the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Major props to Milla J.
