Her father Adolf worked in the film industry for film director Miloš Forman; his family were furniture manufacturers in Moravia. Her mother's parents left the Soviet Union after the Russian Revolution and moved to Prague, where her grandfather became the founder of the Slavonic library at the Charles University in Prague. Her mother Věra was an accountant at TESLA, but lost her job in the 1950s due to her white Russian ancestry and then worked shifts in a factory. She grew up in the Strašnice district of Prague, speaking Russian at home with her maternal family. She became interested in art at a young age, and was a teenager during the Prague Spring of 1968. She began to study law at Charles University, and spent time in the UK as an au pair after the Russian invasion of Czechoslovakia in August 1968, returning to Prague in 1969. She joined a group tourist trip to London in 1970, and she claimed political asylum. Subsequently, she was given a 3-year prison sentence in communist Czechoslovakia, and was stripped of her Czechoslovak citizenship for her dissident activities (her Czech citizenship was restored after the Velvet Revolution). In England, Kalinovska studied at the University of Essex, graduating in 1975 with a bachelor's degree in comparative literature and art. She then received a master's degree in Slavonic studies from the University of British Columbia in Canada in 1980 while also attending non-credit courses in Museum Studies at the UBC Museum of Anthropology, and then turned to the arts. She is a graduate of the Getty Leadership Institute at Claremont Graduate University in Los Angeles, CA.〔(Milena Kalinovska, born 1948 ), National Czech and Slovak Museum, Retrieved 13 October 2015.〕 She married Jan Vaňous in 1986; he is a Yale-educated economist and consultant who was also born in Czechoslovakia, and moved to the US in 1970.
