Speaking about her debut Baywatch last year, Mila said: 'I started acting when I was nine as a hobby because it was fun, and it allowed me to get out of school.
'From nine to 14, I did close to 15 commercials, and I guest starred on just about every television show. I was on Baywatch twice.
'The second time, I played a blind girl who’s lost in the forest next to the beach and needs to be saved.'
Mila's scenes begin at 3.32 on the video.
