I usually play women who eat other women's husbands for breakfast…

Who is she?
Head Over Heels to the wife of a Russian mobster in the gritty Running Scared, and even a Bond girl. Lately, she's breaking away from roles that play off her Eastern European heritage. Born in Sarajevo and raised outside Detroit, she now calls Los Angeles home.
What has she done?
After starting as a model in her teens, the magnificent Milicevic had a brief stint as a stand-up comedienne before inaugurating her movie career as one of Jerry Maguire's ex-girlfriends. Since then she has built up an extensive résumé in television (Seinfeld, The Mind of The Married Man, Friends) and film (Paycheck, Just Like Heaven, Casino Royale). She currently co-stars in Witless Protection as a corporate whistle blower running from corrupt FBI agents while under the dubious protection of Larry the Cable Guy.
Why do we care?
Milicevic is smart, insightful, speaks Serbo-Croatian and showcases her funny side in Witless Protection, where she applied her Bond girl chops (literally) to a punch-filled funeral parlor gag. She can kick our ass anytime.
Playboy: What's the funniest story you have from your modeling days?
Ivana Milicevic: Whenever you're out somewhere with a table full of models, if a camera comes out and the girls aren't ready, they're like, "Oh my God, what? I don't see the camera." And with the snap of a finger everybody puts on a model face. We call it "throwing it" for pictures.
Playboy: Like Zoolander with his look, Blue Steel.
Milicevic: Exactly. I was told another story by another model doing some nudes. The hairdresser came in to "fix her hair" and what really happens is she styles your pubes.
Playboy: Because of your exotic name and looks, have you been typecast as the hot babe?
Milicevic: I do get typecast, but I think everybody gets typecast. I look more like a spy, I suppose, than your girl next door. But I think as I get older and mature as a person and as an actor, I will get more shots because I do have a comedy background and a love for it. People always say they want attractive girls doing comedy, but there doesn't seem to be that much out there where they're not being the straight guy. That's why I got lucky [with Witless].
