Mini Biography
Angelina Jolie is an Oscar-winning actress who has become popular by
taking on the title role in the "Lara Croft" series of blockbuster
movies. Off-screen, Jolie has become prominently involved in
international charity projects, especially those involving refugees. She
often appears on many "most beautiful women" lists, and she has a
personal life that is avidly covered by the tabloid press.
In her earliest years, Angelina began absorbing the acting craft from her parents - her father is the Oscar-winning actor Jon Voight and her mother is Marcheline Bertrand, who had studied with Lee Strasberg. At age 11, Angelina began studying at the Lee Strasberg
Theatre Institute. She undertook some film studies at New York
University and later joined the renowned Met Theatre Group in Los
Angeles. At age 16, she took up a career in modeling and appeared in
some music videos. Her exotic good looks may derive from her mixed
ancestry which is Slovak, French-Canadian, Iroquois and English.
In the mid-1990s, Jolie appeared in various small films where she got good notices, including Hackers (1995) and Foxfire (1996). Her critical acclaim increased when she played strong roles in the made-for-TV movies True Women (1997) (TV), and in George Wallace (1997) (TV) which won her a Golden Globe award and an Emmy nomination. Jolie's acclaim increased even further when she played the lead role in the HBO production Gia (1998) (TV). This was the true life story of supermodel Gia Carangi,
a sensitive wild child who was both brazen and needy and who had a
difficult time handling professional success and the deaths of people
who were close to her. Carangi became involved with drugs
and because of her needle-using habits she became, at the tender age of
26, one of the first celebrities to die of AIDS. Jolie's performance in
Gia (1998) (TV) again garnered a Golden Globe award and another Emmy nomination, and she additionally earned a SAG Award.
Angelina got a major break in 1999 when she won a leading role in the successful feature The Bone Collector (1999), starring alongside Denzel Washington. In that same year, Jolie gave a tour de force performance in Girl, Interrupted (1999) playing opposite Winona Ryder. The movie was a true story of women who spent time in a psychiatric hospital. Jolie's role was reminiscent of Jack Nicholson's character in One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest
(1975), the role which won Nicholson his first Oscar. Unlike "Cuckoo",
"Girl" was a small film that received mixed reviews and barely made
money at the box office. But when it came time to give out awards, Jolie won the triple crown -- "Girl" propelled her to win the Golden Globe, the SAG Award and the Academy Award for best leading actress in a supporting role.
With
her new-found prominence, Jolie began to get in-depth attention from
the press. Numerous aspects of her controversial personal life became
news. At her wedding to her Hackers (1995) co-star Jonny Lee Miller,
she had displayed her husband's name on the back of her shirt painted
in her own blood. Jolie and Miller divorced and in 2000 she married her Pushing Tin (1999) co-star Billy Bob Thornton.
Jolie had become the fifth wife of a man twenty years her senior.
During her marriage to Thornton, the spouses each wore a vial of the
other's blood around their necks. That marriage came apart in 2002 and
ended in divorce. In addition, Jolie was estranged from her famous
father, Jon Voight.
In 2000, Jolie was asked to star in Lara Croft: Tomb Raider
(2001). At first, she expressed disinterest, but then decided that the
required training for the athletic role was intriguing. The Croft
character was drawn from a popular video game. Lara Croft was a female
cross between Indiana Jones and James Bond. When the film was released,
critics were unimpressed with the final product, but critical acclaim
wasn't the point of the movie. The public paid $275 million for theater
tickets to see a buffed up Jolie portray the adventuresome Lara Croft.
Jolie's father Jon Voight appeared in "Croft", and during filming there was a brief rapprochement between father and daughter.
One
of the Croft movie's filming locations was Cambodia. While there, Jolie
witnessed the natural beauty, culture and poverty of that country. She
considered this an eye opening experience, and so began the humanitarian
chapter of her life. Jolie began visiting refugee camps around the
world and came to be formally appointed as a Goodwill Ambassador for the
United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR). Some of her
experiences were written and published in her popular book "Notes from
My Travels" whose profits go to UNHCR.
Jolie has stated that she
now plans to spend most of her time in humanitarian efforts, to be
financed by her actress salary. She devotes one third of her income to
savings, one third to living expenses and one third to charity. In 2002,
Angelina adopted a Cambodian refugee boy named Maddox and in 2005
adopted an Ethiopian refugee girl named Zahara. Jolie's dramatic feature
film Beyond Borders
(2003/I) parallels some of her real life humanitarian experiences
although, despite the inclusion of a romance between two westerners,
many of the movie's images were too depressingly realistic -- the film
was not popular among critics or at the box office.
In 2004, Jolie began filming Mr. & Mrs. Smith (2005) with co-star Brad Pitt.
The film became a major box office success. There were rumors that Pitt
and Jolie had an affair while filming "Smith". Jolie insisted that
because her mother had been hurt by adultery, she herself could never
participate in an affair with a married man, therefore there had been no
affair with Pitt at that time. Nonetheless, Pitt separated from his
wife Jennifer Aniston
in January 2005 and, in the months that followed, he was frequently seen
in public with Jolie, apparently as a couple. Pitt's divorce was
finalized later in 2005.
Jolie and Pitt announced in early 2006
that they would have a child together, and Jolie gave birth to daughter
Shiloh that May. They also adopted a three-year-old Vietnamese boy named
Pax. The couple continues to pursue movie and humanitarian projects.
