She appeared in such films as “Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde”, as well as the TV series “Peyton Place”. All of her efforts helped put her net worth to where it was prior to her passing.

How rich is Lana Turner? As of late-2017, sources estimate a net worth that is at $5 million, mostly earned through a successful career in acting. She was nominated once for an Academy Award, but took the lead in numerous films. All of these achievements ensured the position of her wealth.

Turner showcased an interest in performing at a young age. She originally intended to be a nun before 1936, when lung problems prompted her to move to a drier climate at Los Angeles. Lana attended Hollywood High School, where she was discovered by publisher William R. Wilkerson who referred her to an agent who would lead her to sign her first contract, with Warner Bros in 1937.

Her first film for the company was “The Great Garrick” in which she had a supporting role. In the same year, she was cast as a teenage murder victim in “They Won’t Forget”, then signed with Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer even before completing her high school education. She had her first leading role in “Love Finds Andy Hardy” in 1938. Up to the 1940s, her popularity increased as well as her net worth thanks to more opportunities.

Turner was given numerous youth oriented films including in “Ziegfried Girl” and “Johnny Eager”, and became a popular pin-up girl during World War II, starting to get established as a sex symbol. Other films she had during this time include “Honky Tonk”, “Slightly Dangerous” and “Dr. Jekyl and Mr. Hyde”. After the war, she was given a lead role in “The Postman Always Rings Twice” which marked her first femme fatale part. Her acting prowess continued to develop, and she was cast in more dramatic roles, and her next would be “Green Dolphin Street” which became her first starring role that didn’t focus on her looks. Her net worth also continued to grow.

Soon, Lana would appear in her first Technicolor film – “The Three Musketeers”, but during the 1950s, she starred in a series of films that weren’t as successful at the box office, including “Mr. Imperium” and “The Bad and the Beautiful”, which nonetheless had a good critical reception. Her contract with MGM ended in 1956 and this was in part due to the increasing popularity of television. The following year, she found one of her most notable roles in “Peyton Place” which she was nominated for Academy Award for Best Actress. Despite the trouble surrounding her daughter’s involvement in the Stompanato killing, Universal Studios capitalized on Lana’s newfound notoriety by association, with “Imitation of Life” which earned huge amounts at the box office.

Later in her career, Turner found herself doing more television work, including guest appearances in several shows such as “Falcon Crest” and “The Love Boat”. In 1994, she was rewarded with the Donostia Lifetime Achievement Award during the San Sebastian International Film Festival.

For her personal life, it is known that Lana married eight times to seven different husbands. In 1940, she married band leader Artie Shaw but it lasted for only four months. She then married actor Joseph Stephen Crane two separate times during the 1940s and they had a daughter. In 1948, she married socialite Henry J. Topping Jr. which ended in divorce in 1952, then the following year she married actor Lex Barker which lasted for four years. Her next marriages would be to Frederick May and Robert Eaton during the 1960s. Her last marriage was to hypnotist Ronald Pellar from 1969 to 1972. Lana had problems with alcohol during the 1970s which affected her health, and in turn led to lesser roles. However, she passed away from complications of throat cancer in 1995, three years after being diagnosed with the disease. She was a heavy smoker all her life.

Born Aarti Majmudar on the 3rd March 1978, in Connecticut USA, she is an actress, best known to the world as Priya Koothrappali in the TV series “The Big Bang Theory”, and as Henna in the film “Today’s Special”, among many other differing roles she has secured so far in her career.

Have you ever wondered how rich Aarti Mann is, as of early 2018? According to authoritative sources, it has been estimated that Mann’s net worth is as high as $400,000, an amount earned through her successful career, active since the mid- 2000s.

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 Jovovich Net Worth

Published

on

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.
