Added example(s)


* ActionGirl: A common role she's typecasted in. Especially after her role in ''Film/TheFifthElement''.

to:

* AdaptationalAttractiveness: Done with a nod to the audience in ''Film/TheFourthKind''. The film is presented as a dramatization of a real life incident ([[BasedOnAGreatBigLie it isn't]]), and footage of the 'real' Abigail Tyler is often shown in comparison with Milla, who is shown as more improbably attractive for a small town therapist.
* ActionGirl: A common role she's typecasted typecast in. Especially after her role in ''Film/TheFifthElement''.



* CostumeBacklash: She didn't like the skimpy costume she had for ''Film/TheFifthElement'', mostly because it meant she got lewd comments from the crew.



* CreatorCouple:
** She was Luc Besson's wife when he directed her in ''Film/TheMessengerTheStoryOfJoanOfArc''.
** Paul WS Anderson has directed her in the ''Film/ResidentEvilFilmSeries''.



* FakeAmerican: Since she has an American accent naturally, she's often cast as them.



* LoopingLines: She redubbed her entire role in ''Film/ResidentEvil2002'' to give Alice a lower vocal register.



* PromotedFangirl: She was a huge fan of Film/{{Nikita}} and Creator/LucBesson, so it was a big surprise for her to have been cast in ''Film/TheFifthElement'' by none other than Besson himself. She even married him (although it only lasted two years).

* DyeingForYourArt:
** She dyed her hair blonde in the first 3 Resident Evil movies.
** For ''Film/TheFifthElement'', Milla's hair was to be dyed from its natural brown color to her character's signature orange color. However, due to the fact that her hair had to be re-dyed regularly to maintain the bright color, Milla's hair quickly became too damaged and broken to withstand the dye. Eventually a wig was created to match the color and style of Leeloo's hair, and was used for the remainder of the production.

Added DiffLines:

* TypeCasting: Following the ''Resident Evil'' movies, she's been getting a lot of ActionGirl roles, although she has played plenty of other types of characters. If she's not the action heroine, she's usually the seductress who gets naked a lot and does sex scenes. It's hard to find her in a movie where she does not take her clothes off (''Film/TheFourthKind'' is a rare movie where she isn't in ActionGirl or MsFanservice mode).
