Milena followed the footsteps of her parents, studying music in college. It is reported that her mother Marilyn is a voice teacher at the University of Central Oklahoma, and Milena’s late father Bruce taught music as well. Her aunt Milica is a Broadway actress who appeared on television and had movie roles too. Milena attended Southview High School and was a successful student, becoming the valedictorian of her generation. Graduating from the University of Central Oklahoma – she was once again named a valedictorian – with a double degree in pre-medical studies and performance, Govich moved to New York, where she would eventually start performing in theatres. One of her first acting gigs was on Broadway, as Lulu in ‘’Cabaret’’ in the role of the main character, Sally Bowles. As of 2002, Govich remained an actress on Broadway and played in two major musicals ‘’The Boys from Syracuse’’ and ‘’Good Vibrations’’. She then debuted in the movie ‘’Bad Behavior’’, and went on to appear in several other films in the early 2000s, before focusing on television shows primarily. In 2005, Govich appeared in ‘’Rescue Me’’, a comedy drama television series, portraying a former prostitute Barbara ‘’Candy’’ Callahan, a performance which earned her public acclaim. A year later, she appeared in the pilot episode of ‘’Love Monkey’’, and Milena then caught the eye of the audience as well as drawing critical praise when she joined the American TV show ‘’Law and Order’’, playing the role of the only female detective in the show, Nina Cassidy. Dick Wolf, the creator of ‘’Law and Order’’ had her play in the shows after seeing her in a brief previous appearance, and her performance was critically acclaimed and she remained a part of the cast from 2006 until 2007. During this period of time, she also appeared in ‘’East Side Story’’, a short film, portraying Sara, and then continued to appear as a guest star in many TV series, such as ‘’K-Ville’’, a 2007 crime drama, where she played district attorney Lyndsey Swann in four episodes, one of several crime series characters she has portrayed. However, she didn’t neglect her theatre career due to the progress she had on TV shows and on silver screen and appeared in the title role of “Sweet Charity” in the play of the same name.
As of the more recent past, Govich plays the recurring character Lori Stevens in MTV’s teen drama ‘’Finding Carter’’. She is working on TV and film projects with her husband and has made one short film as well.
In her personal life, Milena has been married to writer and producer David Cornue since 2003.
