She Immigrated To The United States
Milana and her family immigrated to the United States when she was about three years old. When the Soviets actually started harassing Jews, that was the only thing her parents could think of. There were no direct routes to America that they could find. They had to stop in a few other countries before arriving in the United States. It was an experience that left an indelible impression on Milana. The Soviet Union had collapsed by the time they arrived.

The AT&T commercials that made Milana famous were directed by Hank Perlman. Lily, he claims, connects with audiences because she is such a multifaceted character. In this regard, Milana’s performance had a significant impact. The director went on to explain why the commercial and character were so popular. “We work very hard not only to make her funny, but also to make her as strong, intelligent, and human as possible.” It’s only because of Milana that he was able to realize this perspective.
