Angelina Jolie

Angelina Jolie (originally Angelina Jolie Voight) is an American actress and director, famous for her sexy appeal, edginess and her humanitarian work. The role she played in Girl, Interrupted (1999) was one of the roles she received for the Academy Award. Jolie, the daughter of actor Jon Voight, spent most of her growing up in New York. She moved to Los Angeles when she was 11. She was a student at the Lee Strasberg Theatre and Film Institute for two years, and then enrolled at Beverly Hills High School. New York University later taught her drama. Jolie also performed in theatre productions and modelled for music videos. It was during Hackers (1995) when Jolie got to know Jonny Lee Miller, a British actor (married in 1996, divorced in 1999). The film was not well-loved, as were a number of other films. In 1997, however Jolie was the subject of much interest as the wife of Alabama's segregationist governor in the film George Wallace, and she was later awarded an award called the Golden Globe Award for her performance. In the HBO movie Gia Jolie played a supermodel with drug addiction. She received numerous honors as well as the Golden Globe Award, and Screen Actors Guild Award. She appeared alongside John Cusack in Pushing Tin in 1999. The following year, she tied the knot with Thornton (divorced in 2003). She played the wife of the carjacker (Nicolas Cage) in Gone in Sixty Seconds (2000) and later changed her accent to the British accent, and mastered street fighting and kickboxing to play the lead roles in Lara Croft: Tomb Raider (2001) and Lara Croft Tomb Raider: The Cradle of Life (2003). She played the mother of Alexander in Oliver Stone's Alexander (2004) as well as was in the film with Jude Law and Gwyneth Paltrow in Sky Captain and The World of Tomorrow (a sci-fi thriller set 1930s New York City). Both films failed in terms of box-office revenue, however Jolie's Mr. & Mrs. Smith (2005) was the biggest success. Jolie played a character pretending to be a normal domestic worker while working on the film. Brad Pitt became her partner in the film.
