Angelina
Jolie was born in Los Angeles, California, June 4, 1975. This
impressive, accomplished star actress is 5' 7" with a
majestic body. Angelina Jolie is the daughter of Academy Award
winner Jon Voight and French actress Marcheline Bertrand,
who divorced when she was very young. Since becoming an actress,
she uses her middle name, Jolie, as her last name. She uses
her middle name because she wanted to become famous on her
own merit. |
Angelina lived in Palisades,
New York, with her mother and brother James until she was ten, when
they relocated to Los Angeles. At sixteen, Angelina moved across
the street from her mother and immersed herself in theatre. She
trained and performed at the Lee Strasberg Theatre Institute, and
studied under Jan Tarrant in New York, and Silvana Gallardo in L.A..
Angelina worked as a professional
model in London, New York and Los Angeles. She has also appeared
in music videos for artists such as Meat Loaf. Angelina gave up
acting and moved to New York City, where she registered at NYU's
film school. Acting however, was in her blood, and she returned
to Hollywood just a year later.
Angelina made a huge impact
on fans and critics with her compelling performance in "Girl,
Interrupted", which went on to nab her an Oscar. As if her
fan base wasn't large enough, Angelina's popularity skyrocketed
when she donned shorts, guns and a ponytail to play Lara Croft in
"Tomb Raider", based on the mega-popular PlayStation game
of the same title.
While a part of the Met Theater
in Los Angeles, Angelina worked alongside Holly Hunter, Ed Harris
and Amy Madigan. Playing a hybrid creature, she landed her commercial
picture debut in the 1993 "Cyborg II: Glass Shadows".
She received some critical attention for her role in "Hackers"
(1993), and also received the attention of the film's star, Jonny
Lee Miller. Romance blossomed and the two married in March1996,
only to divorce in February 1999. Other film credits include "Without
Evidence", "Mojave Moon", "Love Is All There
Is", her Globe-winning roles in "George Wallace and Gia",
and "Pushing Tin", which co-stars John Cusack. Angelina
married Billy Bob Thornton on May 5th, 2000.
Angelina collects daggers,
has the Japanese symbol for death tattooed on her right shoulder
and stays in shape by lifting weights, playing basketball and sky-diving.
Angelina has seven tattoos on her body. "I dropped my pants
in a tattoo parlor in Amsterdam," recounts Jolie. "I woke
up in a waterbed with this funky-looking dragon with a blue tongue
on my hip." One tattoo in particular, is the Japanese word
for Death. "It's a reminder that we could die tomorrow, so
live today. It was a positive reminder to be free."
