Theresa Russell Net Worth $5 Million

Theresa Russell was the eldest daughter of Carole Platt and Jerry Russell Paup; she was raised in Burbank, where her mother moved after their divorce, where she attended Burbank High School, but left before graduation to pursue a modeling and acting career. Her family was poor, and survived on food stamps, which is why Russell started to model at the age of twelve. She later enrolled at the Lee Strasberg Institute, where she studied acting.

Russell’s big break came at the age of nineteen, when she was cast in a drama film by the veteran director Elia Kazan, “The Last Tycoon” (1976), an adaptation of F. Scott Fitzgerald’s last novel, starring Robert De Niro, Tony Curtis, Robert Mitchum, and Jack Nicholson. It was nominated for several awards, including an Academy Award for Best Art Director. Her next role was another star-studded vehicle, the crime drama film “Straight Time” (1978) in which her co-stars were Dustin Hoffman, Gary Busey, and Kathy Bates. The beginning of the 1980s also marked the beginning of her long-term cooperation with the director Nichols Roeg, with whom she made six films in total: “Bad Timing” (1980), “Eureka” (1983), “Insignificance” (1985), “Aria” (1987), “Track 29” (1988), and “Cold Heaven” (1991). Throughout their collaboration, Russell was almost unanimously praised for her acting abilities, while the movies themselves were divisive, and more often than not critically panned.

Despite the lukewarm reception of these films, Russell went on to star in several successful films, which were better suited to her talent. One of them was “Black Widow” (1987), a film noir thriller film, which co-starred Debra Winger and garnered much critical praise. She also portrayed Liz in another controversial, but better received, entry “Whore” (1991), directed by Ken Russell.

Despite the positive reception which her acting received, Russell’s first box office hit came in 1998, with the erotic thriller “Wild Things”, starring Matt Dillon, Neve Campbell, Kevin Bacon, and Denise Richards, boosting her net worth too.

For the most part, Russell’s career was focused on the big screen, with few ventures into television films during the 1990s. However, she dedicated more of her time to television roles after the turn of the century. First, she guest-starred in two episodes of the police drama “Nash Bridges” (2000), after which she also nabbed the main role in the short-lived horror/mystery series “Glory Days” (2002). A significant television role for Russell came in 2005, when she appeared in the award-winning miniseries “Empire Falls”, along with Ed Harris, Helen Hunt, and Paul Newman. However, she also continued to act in independent films, such as he 2002 romance “Now & Forever”, and 2003 film noir “The Box”. Additionally, she joined the cast of the superhero blockbuster film “Spider-Man 3” (2007), playing the wife of one of the main villains, Sandman (played by Thomas Hayden Church).

Regarding her personal life, Theresa has two children with film director Nicolas Roeg, who she married in 1982. The couple later divorced, however there is no specified date in the media.

Of Indian ancestry, Aarti alongside her brother Nishad, and sister Kruti moved a lot within Pennsylvania with her family when she was still a toddler, including living in Pittsburgh, Mt. Lebanon, Wexford and Fox Chapel. She went to Shady Side Academy located in Point Breeze, and after matriculation enrolled at New York University, from which she earned a degree in film writing and directing.

Aarti made her professional acting debut in 2006, in the film “The Memsahib”, directed by her sister Kruti, who is a filmmaker, who was mainly responsible for luring Aarti towards the performing arts, since their parents are doctors and wanted all their children to follow in their footsteps. After her debut, Aarti appeared in a commercial for Volvo, and started auditioning for new film and television roles. However, she secured only minor roles in such TV series as “Quarterlife” (2008), and “Heroes” (2009), until in 2010 luck smiled upon her as she was chosen for the part of Priya Koothrappali in the TV comedy series “The Big Bang Theory” (2010-2011), which increased her net worth to a large degree. Her career now got underway, and in 2012 she featured in the comedy-drama film “The Monogamy Experiment”, starring Amy Rider, Edgar Morais and Tohory Masamune, while in 2015 she made a notable appearance in the romantic comedy film “I’ll See You in My Dreams”, with Blythe Danner, Martin Starr and Sam Elliott in the lead roles, which further increased her net worth.

She is now working on the drama film “Love Sonia”, starring Demi Moore, Freida Pinto and Mark Duplass, scheduled for release later this year, so her net worth is certainly still rising.

When it comes to her personal life, Aarti is married to Purvesh Mankad, with whom she has a daughter. She now resides in Los Angeles with her family.

Milla Natasha Jovovich was born on 17 December 1975, in Kiev, Ukraine (then in the USSR), and is a model, actress and singer, perhaps best known for her breakthrough role in the film “The Fifth Element” in 1997, with Bruce Willis and Gary Oldman.

So just how rich is Milla Jovovich, as of late 2017? Authoritative sources estimate that Milla has a net worth of over $45 million, accumulated from her various career elements spanning almost 30 years since she began modelling in 1987.

Milla Jovovich Net Worth $45 Million

Milla had a really unusual childhood, maybe that’s one of the reasons for her multi-million dollar net worth. Jovovich started her carrier in modeling from the early age of nine, a few years after she and her parents moved from Ukraine, which at that time belonged to the Soviet Union, to Los Angeles, California, in 1980. She even dropped out of school at the age of 12, when Gene Lemuel discovered her, and she signed a contract with Prima Modeling Agency. Milla Jovovich was covered by magazines including Vogue, Glamour, Madmoiselle, Cosmopolitan, Seventeen, and has been advertising brands including L’oreal, Christian Dior, Calvin Klein, Donna Koran, Revlon for many years.

However, exclusive looks and beauty was not the only value she had: Milla Jovovich has a great voice, a talent to write songs, design fashion and find herself in acting as well. Milla started her acting career in 1988 in the film “Two Moon Junction”, but the roles that gave this girl much more attention were in “Dazed and Confused” in 1993 and “The Fifth Element” in 1997 directed by Luc Besson, in which she worked with Bruce Willis. Of course, subsequently all five films based on “Resident Evil” made Milla Jovovich’s popularity and net worth go through the roof. The original movie was so successful that it was even turned into a video game.

Between her acting in those two movies, Milla tried the shoes of a singer and a song writer, and released her debut album – “The Divine Comedy – which was really appreciated by the audience and critics and even received positive feedback from Rolling Stone magazine’s, John McAlley; in his opinion the album was remarkable. In 1999 Milla Jovovich became a member of the band named Plastic Has Memory, and performed some gigs in New York and Las Vegas, but unfortunately not with her new band, and Milla has never released a second album.

As for her career in fashion, Milla launched her first line in 2003, and her brand was successful until 2008 when she decided to close her business because of lack of time, which is perhaps no surprise, assuming that all of her free time was taken-up by her daughter Ever Gabo Anderson, who was born in 2007.

As for other details of Milla’s personal life, aside from several well-known relationships, she has married three times, all husbands met when taking some part in films in which she was acting. She first married Shawn Andrews in 1992, which was apparently quickly annulled by her mother; ironically, he and Milla were starring in “Dazed and Confused”! The second was with the director of “The Fifth Element” – Luc Besson (1997-99), and she has been married to Paul W. S. Anderson, who worked with Jovovich on the set of “Resident Evil”, since 2009, and he is the father of her two daughters. The family is based in Los Angeles.

Milla is something of a philanthropist too, and often participates in and supports various charities including UNICEF, World Education, Ovarian Cancer Research Fund and many more.
