Angelina Jolie (born June 4, 1975) is an Academy
Award-winning American actress. She is known for her
exotic looks, her tumultuous off-screen life, and
her humanitarian work with refugees. She has
received three Golden Globes as well as an Oscar for
Best Supporting Actress for her performance in the
film Girl, Interrupted.
Before she began a career as an actress, she was a
model who was signed with Finesse Model Management.
She modeled in U.S. and Europe.
Her first starring role came in the 1995 film
Hackers.
In 1998 she achieved a major critical success,
starring in the TV film Gia, the true story of
1970-80s supermodel Gia Carangi, who died of AIDS.
Jolie won Golden Globe, Screen Actors Guild and
Golden Satmifie awards, and was nominated for an
Emmy.
She had roles in several box-office flops until
1999, when she co-starred in The Bone Collector with
Denzel Washington and won an Oscar for Girl,
Interrupted. Her first headlining blockbuster role
came from 2001's video-game-based Lara Croft: Tomb
Raider.
Several of her subsequent films, such as Life or
Something Like It, Alexander, and Sky Captain and
the World of Tomorrow, were box-office
disappointments, although Jolie herself usually
received good notices. She did provide the voice of
Lola in the successful animated film Shark Tale.
Nonetheless, she has become one of Hollywood's most
"in-demand" actresses. Following the success of Mr.
& Mrs. Smith, she's set to earn up to $15 million to
star in the film The Good Shepherd.
Apart from her acting and humanitarian endeavours,
Jolie has worked as a professional model in London,
New York and Los Angeles and appeared in numerous
music videos, including those of Korn, Meat Loaf,
Lenny Kravitz, and The Rolling Stones.
