Best known for playing Violeta, daughter of the central Popadić family on hugely popular Bolji život TV series, Vukićević's acting career peaked throughout mid-to-late 1980s and early 1990s.
Her career in movies was launched in 1985 when she got cast in Žikina dinastija, seventh instalment of the popular folksy comedy film series Lude godine. Being 22 at the time, Vukićević played the role of sexy house maid Lilika.
This exposure led to similar roles in other movies of the same genre such as Špijun na štiklama and Vampiri su među nama. In all of these movies she was mostly typecast as a ditzy sexpot.
During the early 1990s, Vukićević married Red Star Belgrade footballer Mitar Mrkela. The couple divorced in 2000. They have a son Andrej Mrkela, born in 1992, who is also a professional footballer and currently plays for Red Star Belgrade.[2]
Afterwards, the media speculated about her alleged relationship with the former Chief of the General Staff of Yugoslav Army Nebojša Pavković.[3]
