Angelina Jolie biography

Angelina Jolie was born Angelina Jolie Voight on June 4, 1975 to actor Jon Voight and model Marcheline Bertarand. The parents decided to give their children Angelina and James Haven Voight middle names that could be used in place of their last names if they chose not to use the Voight name. Angelina's father left the family when she was only one while Angelina and James lived with their mother in New York. She later moved back to LA when she was 11. Angelina attended Beverly Hills high school and at age 16 moved out of her house into an apartment right next to her mother. She later studied at the Lee Strasberg Theatre Institute where she acted in several stage productions. Angelina's first role cast her as a dominatrix! Before being seen in movies Angelina was a model and could also be seen in various music videos. She has appeared in The Rolling Stones "Has anybody seen my baby?", The Lemonheads, Lenny Kravitz "Stand By My Woman", and Meatloaf "Rock-n-Roll Dreams Come Through". Angelina has also appeared in five student films for the USC school of cinema which were directed by her brother. . Angelina Jolie married British actor Jonny Lee Miller(one of my favorites!) who is best known for his role of Sickboy in Trainspotting. Angelina met Jonny on the set of 1995's Hackers. At the wedding ceremony Angelina wore a rubber dress and a blouse with Jonny's name written on it- in her own blood! The marriage did not last however, as the couple separated in 1997 and finally were divorced in 1999. Later, Angelina was linked to Timothy Hutton her co-star in Playing God. Currently, it seems Angelina's status is single and recently, she has been talking about adoption in various interviews. You go Angelina!!!! As all her fans know, Angelina is a big fan of body art and has multiple tattoos. She is also a big fan of knives and has several scars from knife incidents in the past. However, she has recently spoken out about what she sees as the media focusing on her past problem with self mutilation which she feels is giving the wrong impression to her young fans.Angelina has won various awards, including three consecutive Golden Globes for Gia(1997),George Wallace(1998), and Girl,Interrupted(1999). Soon, Angelina will destroy the competiton and bring home the Oscar for GI! With her stunning good looks and unmatched talent Angelina is going to be around pleasing all her fans for many years to come!
