Here are some tidbits about Angelina that you might not know~

Angelina Jolie was born Angelina Jolie Voight on June 4, 1975, and is the daughter of actors Jon Voight and Marcheline Bertrand. After her parents' separation in 1976, Jolie and her brother were raised by their mother, who abandoned her acting ambitions and moved them to Palisades, New York. As a child Jolie regularly saw movies with her mother and later said that it had inspired her interest in acting; she had not been influenced by her father.

When she was 11, they moved back to Los Angeles and Jolie decided that she wanted to act and enrolled at the Lee Strasberg Theatre Institute, where she trained for 2 years and appeared in several stage productions. She later recalled her time as a student at Beverly Hills High School, and her feelings of isolation among the children of some of the area's more affluent families. Jolie's mother survived on a modest income, and Jolie often wore second-hand clothes to school. She was teased by other students who also targeted her for her distinctive features, for being extremely thin, and for wearing glasses and braces.

Her self-esteem was further diminished when her initial attempts at modeling were unsuccessful. She started cutting herself; later commenting, "I collected knives and always had certain things around. For some reason, the ritual of cutting myself and feeling pain, made me feel alive, like some kind of release, it was somehow therapeutic to me." At 14, she dropped out of acting classes and dreamed of becoming a funeral director.

During this period, she wore black, dyed her hair purple and went out moshing with her live-in boyfriend. Two years later, after the relationship had ended, she rented an apartment above a garage a few blocks from her mothers home. She returned to theater studies and graduated from high school, though in recent times she referred to this period with the observation, "I am still at heart — and always will be — just a punk kid with tattoos".


Jolie is an American film actor and a Goodwill Ambassador for the UN Refugee Agency. She has been cited as one of the world's most beautiful women and her off-screen life has been widely reported. She has received 3 Golden Globe Awards, 2 Screen Actors Guild Awards, and one Academy Award.

Jolie finally achieved international fame in her portrayal of videogame heroine Lara Croft in Lara Croft: Tomb Raider in 2001, and since then has established herself as one of the best-known and highest-paid actresses in Hollywood. She had her biggest commercial success with the action-comedy Mr. & Mrs. Smith in 2005.

Divorced from actors Jonny Lee Miller and Billy Bob Thornton, she currently lives with actor Brad Pitt in a relationship that has attracted worldwide media attention. Jolie and Pitt have three adopted children, Maddox, Pax, and Zahara, and has three biological daughters, Shiloh and her recently born twins. Jolie has promoted humanitarian efforts throughout the world, and is noted for her work with refugees through UNHCR.
