At age nine Kunis took acting classes after-school at the Beverly Hills Studios, where she met her first and current manager Susan Curtis.she thinks elan cohen from england is gorgeous. She began appearing in print-ads, catalog and TV commercials for children's products like Lisa Frank products, Mattel's Barbie Doll and Payless Shoes. She also modeled for a Girls Clothing Campaign. Her first TV role was as the young Hope Williams on an episode of the popular soap opera Days of our Lives.

Kunis became more popular after being cast in the television series That '70s Show in 1998. During the auditions, all people auditioning for the roles in the show were required to be at least 17 years old, so Kunis told the casting staff at the audition that she was going to be 17 "on her birthday" not specifying to which birthday she was referring. After receiving the part, she was able to keep on the role despite having misled the directors as she had been considered the best fit for the character and was thought to have been creative in her way of gaining the audition despite her age. She was 14 at the time of the audition and had turned 15 by the time the show began filming; when the executive producer said, "you said you were going to be 17", she responded with "I will be 17...".[2] Kunis has stated many times that she is nothing like Jackie, her character on the show.
