Angelina Jolie



The former American model was born June 4, 1975, to actor Jon Voight and the late actress Marcheline Bertrand. Considered one of the world's most beautiful women, she has earned awards for her acting as well as for her humanitarian efforts (which mostly involve impoverished refugee children). She played her first role in the film Lookin' to Get Out, appearing with her father. However, it would be another year before her career would truly be launched, and for that she largely credits her mother.

After her appearance with her father in 1982, Jolie landed a part in Cyborg 2 (1993). Finally she got a break with a leading role in Hackers, a highly-criticized movie about computer hackers. She also appeared in George Wallace and Gia, both biographies. Her real acclaim, however, came with her award-winning performance in Girl, Interrupted, and went on to roles in the Lara Croft series as well as Mr. and Mrs. Smith.
