Angelina Jolie biography

With her long legs, ample bee-stung lips and striking deep-set blue eyes. Angelina Jolie may have been destined for screen stardom even without the benefit of talent or family name –both of which are considerable-but these atributes didn´t hurt. “Just look at that beautiful face and all the intelligence that it has and all the passion. It´s quite extraordinary,“ says actor Jon Voight, who, admittedly, is not the most unbiased observer, considering that the Oscar-wining actor is Jolie´s father.

Jolie struck out on her own at age 16, finding work as a profesional model and appearing in a handful of music videos (for the likes of Leny Kravitz and Rolling Stones), and entering film studies at New York University.She ewentually gravitated back to acting in a more formalized setting, joining the Met Group in Los Angeles, where she studied alongside esteemed actors Ed Harris and Holly Hunter.“I didn´t know exactly what I wanted, but I knew I could know,“the actress told Mr.Showbiz about her rekindled interest in theatrics.“I loved some kind of expression....I want so much to try to explain things to somebody...I´m very good at trying to explore different emotions and listen to people and feel things.That is an actor, I think.“Jolie´s real screen debut, thought, came in Cyborg II:Glass Shadows a better than average direct-to-video sci-fi action in which she played a heroic human-machine hybrid. Jolie landed her first starring role in the 1995 cyber-thriller Hackers. Though the film met with a generally poor reception, Jolie earned praise for her performance; she also fell in love with co-star Jonny Lee Miller. At the couple’s wedding ceremony in March 1996, the unconventional bride wore black rubber pants and a shirt on which she had written the groom’s name in her own blood. Jolie and Miller separated less than a year later; they were divorced in 1999. Over the next several years, Jolie’s reputation as Hollywood’s newest “bad girl” grew steadily, even as a number of highly acclaimed performances established her as a talented A-list actress. In 1997, she earned an Emmy nomination and a Golden Globe Award for her supporting turn in the TNT biopic George Wallace, starring Gary Sinise.
