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! |
