Angelina Jolie

Few people and circumstances faze the lovely Angelina Jolie. This American actress did not start out with a bed of roses, though her very wild past attributes to her raw appeal. She started out as a model after shedding of high school eye glasses braces and other hindrances to unleashing her beauty, and is now renown for eliciting the spirit of voluntourism through her stint as Goodwill Ambassadress of the UN. But that is not the only impressive thing about Angelina Jolie, being the bearer of three Golden Globe awards and an Academy Award for her performance in the film “Girl, Interrupted” But her success remains unparalleled and is anything but interrupted.

Her father Jon Voight was an equally renown actor in his time, and Jolie's first appearance in the big screen was via a movie they shared together. Entitled “Lookin to Get Out”, father and daughter mesmerized the movie audience with their heart-rending portrayals. Since then, Jolie slowly emerged from the ranks of low-budget films into blockbusters that she is now known to create today on a regular basis. Her first major film was in a movie entitled “Hackers” in 1995. Her mother Marcheline Bertrand was also an actress and became her manager in the early parts of her career. Unfortunately, she became estranged with her father again in 2002 and decided not to associate with him after adopting her first child.

Angelina Jolie's colorful life is peppered with dark attractions to mortuary science and is often fascinated with activities involving blood and knives. In fact, with her then-husband Johnny Lee Miller after she rose to fame with her stint in the film “Cyborgs 2”, Jolie was reportedly updating the press publicly of their unconventional sex exploits with knives and black leather. After her divorce with Miller, Jolie later married Billy Bob Thornton, with whom she exchanged vials of blood displayed via a custom-made necklace showing undying devotion to each other. The devotion did die eventually, and right now, Angelina Jolie is in a long-term relationship with Brad Pitt together with their three adopted children and Shiloh, their biological child. Her lesbian ex-lover Jenny Shimizu, who was also linked with Madonna, was not also a secret to the public. Her shocking openness to reveal all facets of herself to the viewing public makes her a favorite of the press.

From being the girl who wanted to slash herself for battered self-esteem from consistent teasing of her affluent high school classmates, Angelina Jolie emerged as a superstar, playing starring roles in films such as “Mr. And Mrs. Smith”, “Tombraider” and also managed to shine a light in massive film flops. She continued to regain the critique's praises and admiration, even when she has been miscast for nice girl roles in some movies. Her unique packaging always stands out regardless of where movie makers place her. Aside from this, she is very much involved in her volunteer work and is traveling all over the world with Brad Pitt to further augment the cause of reaching out to people in different countries and cultures.
