Biography

Fille des acteurs Grażyna Dylag et Aleksander Mikołajczak, Miko est née à Lodz, en Pologne. Enfant elle participe aux représentations de l'ensemble musical Fasolki formé en 1983 au sein de la Telewizja Polska, qu'on voit dans les émissions Fasola, Tik-Tak, Ciuchcia, Teleferie, Jedyneczka i Budzik. Elle grandit à Varsovie, où elle suit une formation pour être ballerine. Elle apparait à l'écran pour la première fois en 1988, dans le film musical pour enfants Monsieur Kleks dans l'espace de Krzysztof Gradowski . Une chorégraphe américaine l'a invitée à étudier à New York grâce à une bourse, et elle s'y rendit avec sa mère pour son 15e anniversaire.

Son premier film américain est une comédie dramatique Coyote Girls sortie en 2000. Miko a été classé 48e sur les 100 femmes les plus belles du monde du mensuel masculin Maximal en 2001. Elle est apparue dans trois épisodes de Deadwood, et dans le vidéoclip Mr. Brightside du groupe The Killers en 2004.

En 2010, Miko est apparue dans le remake du Choc des Titans, jouant Athéna, mais les scènes avec son personnage sont absentes du montage final présenté au public. Elle tient également un rôle de soutien comme acrobate prénommée Raia dans la série télévisée The Cape. En 2012, lors du tournage des séquences du clip Miss Atomic Bomb (album Battle Born) du groupe The Killers se produit un accident, une lourde décoration s'effondre, fracturant le pied de l'actrice. En 2012, elle incarne Alexa Brava dans le film musical Step Up All In.

En 2014, dans le téléfilm L'Engrenage de l'anorexie (Starving in Suburbia ou Thinspiration) elle tient le rôle de Butterfly Ana, une gourou diabolique qui entraine les adolescentes dans la spirale d'anorexie et leur enseigne comment duper leurs parents pour que ces derniers ne se rendent compte de rien.

Miko retourne régulièrement en Pologne. En 2009, elle joue aux côtés de Mateusz Damięcki dans la comédie romantique Kochaj i tańcz sous la direction de Bruce Parramore, qui comporte plusieurs chorégraphies. Elle est présente en tant que membre du jury dans You Can Dance – Po prostu tańcz, l'équivalent de l'émission de télévision américaine Tu crois que tu sais danser, sur la chaîne de télévision TVN. En 2016, elle participe à la première édition d'Asia Express, une adaptation polonaise de l'émission Pékin Express, diffusée sur la chaîne TVN, avec Leszek Stanek comme partenaire, et se classe à la troisième place en finale. Elle se produit aussi au théâtre de Varsovie.

Miko soutient la politique écologiste et tient un blog pour parler de ses préoccupations actuelles.

Zeus took the skies, Poseidon took the seas, and Hades was left with the Underworld upon being tricked by Zeus. The gods created the mortals, whose faith and prayers assured the gods' immortality. As time passed, however, mortals began to question them and soon resist their creators, angering the Olympians.

The film continues the story of Sara Johnson (originally played by Julia Stiles and now portrayed by Izabella Miko). She recalls how she was born to be a dancer. Her mother would often comment that she knew how to pirouette before she could properly walk. From her earliest memories Sara always wanted to be a ballerina, a graceful dancer who could glide across the stage. It seemed that there was something that caused conflict in Sara’s ambition. She also loves the urban dance form of hip-hop. While ballet is highly structured, full of rules and standards, hip-hop gives Sara a chance to just let go and follow the beat. Sara wants the best of both worlds but the conflict between structure and independence affects her performance in both formats.
