“Fly, my beautiful daughter, on your own wings”: Her mother taught her to pose as a child

Ever Gabo Anderson stepped onto the red carpet at the 83rd Venice Film Festival, making what her mother’s homeland media describes as the young actress’s first major career move. The 18-year-old attended a festival screening of Father Joe, directed by Barthelemy Grassman.

The film places Anderson alongside major names including Kiefer Sutherland and Al Pacino. On the red carpet, she drew comparisons with her mother, Milla Jovovich, whose own presence once dominated the world’s leading film festivals. Anderson has increasingly been seen as a younger version of Jovovich, particularly in images from her early years.

Anderson is the eldest of Jovovich and director Paul W.S. Anderson’s three daughters. She appeared on magazine covers before reaching adulthood and had a small role in Resident Evil: The Final Chapter, directed by her father. This time, however, her appearance at Venice was presented as a step forward on her own.

She began facing cameras at a very young age and is now moving toward the same combination of modeling and acting that shaped her mother’s career. Jovovich and Paul W.S. Anderson have been married since 2009 and also have daughters Dashiel Edan, born in 2015, and Osian Lark Elliot, born in 2020.
