Mila Kunis in LA Times Magazine

[Deeper_Background]

Mila Kunis – who still looks a little frail from her big ‘Black Swan’ slimdown – covers this week’s Los Angeles Times magazine. While Kunis has a come a long way from her shrill-voiced Jackie on That 70s Show days, she has an immense amount of gratitude for the freedom it provided, saying she can now “sit back and think about what I want.”

Which could mean more comedies – like this summer’s ‘Friends With Benefits.’

“I love doing comedies. They’re just as hard, if not harder, to make work, compared with a drama. You work 17 hours a day, and you have to try to make things different and funny and relatable onscreen all at the same time.” http://www.latimesmagazine.com/

I've always liked her.

I wonder what kind of dough the major supporting players cash for comedy re-run residuals. I seem to remember the Seinfeld regulars getting something like $800,000 per episode at the end which is nice dough, but not totally life changing money where they could retire forever.

You don't think $800K an episode for a 24-episode season is life-changing money that could allow you to retire?

I don't know what Kunis made during the last couple seasons of That 70's Show, but Kutcher and Grace were pulling in about $350K an episode and people like Valderamma was making $150K. I'm guessing Kunis was close to $100K an episode, but that is a guess. That's $2.4 million for a 24-episode season, so that's not too shabby.

I hope she wants a cheeseburger.

I've hardly seen that tall redhead in anything else, so it may be good money if they didnt blow it and invest wisely. Hell, Wilmer hasnt worked for years and just concentrates on banging young starlets now

Wilmer voices Handy Manny on Disney Channel. Don't ask me why I know this.

Has Danny Masterson done anything since?

According to IMDB, here's what the main cast has been up to.

- Mila Kunis is obvious. She's everywhere lately, along with continuing to do Family Guy.
- Danny Masterson (Hyde) is getting work, nothing major, and his biggest project appears to be The Chicago 8 about the '68 Democratic Convention.
- Laura Prepon (Donna) has done a bunch of TV guest spots, including House, Medium, and How I Met Your Mother.
- Wilmer Valderrama (Fez) has been doing that previously mentioned Disney show and a couple smaller movies
- Ashton Kutcher (Kelso) puts out a questionable romantic comedy per year anymore.
- Topher Grace (Eric) was the baddie in Spiderman 3 and has popped up in a couple other movies.
- Debra Jo Rupp and Kurtwood Smith (Mrs. and Mr. Forman) have gone back to their TV guest roles, with Smith popping up on House, 24, Psych, and Medium while Rupp has gone soap opera with As The World Turns.

I seem to remember the redhead doing some voiceovers for Domino's or a similar pizza delivery establishment.

I always thought Prepon was hotter than Kunis on 70s Show.

Plus Kunis is still on Family Guy, which is also in syndication now, so she's probably sleeping on a bed of money at night. Every comic used to have some gag about how rich Bob Saget is too, since he had two shows in heavy, heavy syndication (AFHV and Full House). Their super-safe content meant that they could fill pretty much any schedule hole.

That being said, I'll echo some of the other comments in this thread - I like Kunis. I just do. She projects that sort of like-able aura in all of her appearances. She showed some pretty good chops on an old episode of radio Loveline IIRC, which was always a bit of a litmus test for whether someone was interesting or not.

Thought she was great in Forgetting Sarah Marshall, looking to unhealthy skinny now.

She also might have had to tone up and lose weight for the ballerina role...

 

[JackReacher]

She was great in Extract

She did. Saw her on Craig Ferguson a few weeks ago, and she said she and Portman basically starved themselves for their roles. The day she wrapped on the film, she had to catch a plane... but not before she pigged out in some airport restaurant. That photo on the LAT is probably a little dated. She looks much healthier now - at least she did on Ferguson's show.

As an aside, a funny bit of that Ferguson interview. She was talking about being 14-15 when she was doing 70's Show. Ferguson: "You were 14? Oh, I feel so bad, now."

Girl needs to eat something. She lost her hotness. She was hot back when she was, what, 120 pounds? At some point, you lose your femininity, especially with an already-slight body type such as hers.

I just don't get why so many beautiful women want to look like junior-high-school boys.

 

[Pancamo]

Kunis
The girl from Modern Family
Vanessa Hudgens

all look the same to me.
