Growing up in Los Angeles, Jolie was no stranger to the film industry, being the daughter of Academy Award -winning actor Jon Voight . She later trained and performed at the Lee Strasberg Theatre Institute, where she was seen in several stage productions.
She worked as a professional model in London, New York and Los Angeles, and has also appeared in music videos for such artists as 'Meatloaf', Lenny Kravitz , Antonello Venditti and The Lemonheads. In addition, she has acted in five student films for the USC School of Cinema, all directed by her brother, James Haven .
Next to Liv Tyler , Angelina Jolie is the only actress of her generation who can thank her famous father for the lips that have become her trademark. The actress was born Angelina Jolie Voight to the pillow-lipped Jon Voight and actress Marcheline Bertrand on June 4, 1975, in Los Angeles.
Raised mostly by her mother after her parents divorced while she was still a baby, Jolie moved around a lot with her mother and brother. She also did a fair amount of traveling as a professional model, living in such places as London, New York, and Los Angeles before settling for a time in New York as a student at the Lee Strasberg Theatre Institute and New York University, where she first started acting in theater productions. The fledgling actress soon moved on to film with a small role in 1993's Cyborg 2 , followed in 1995 by her turn as a computer hacker in the more widely seen Hackers . The film gave her her first taste of recognition, as well as an introduction to Trainspotting 's Jonny Lee Miller , to whom she was married for a short time.
After appearing in a number of mediocre films, Jolie finally hit it big in 1997 with her Golden Globe-winning performance as George Wallace 's wife in the highly acclaimed TV movie George Wallace . The role, coupled with her Emmy-nominated performance in the title role of HBO's Gia , provided Jolie with a new level of professional respect and recognition. She was soon appearing on talk shows and in magazines, answering questions about everything from her multiple tattoos to her famous father to her brief marriage.
She was also netting roles in high-profile projects: In 1998 Jolie headlined an ensemble cast that included Sean Connery , Gena Rowlands , Anthony Edwards , Gillian Anderson , Ryan Phillippe , and Madeline Stowe in Playing By Heart . The following year, she was part of another high-voltage cast in Mike Newell 's Pushing Tin , co-starring alongside John Cusack , Billy Bob Thornton , and Cate Blanchett . Although the film was neither a critical nor a financial success, it did little to diminish the rapid ascent of the career of the actress, who was in hot demand for projects that would further elevate her already rising star. In 2000, Jolie's star received one of its greatest boosts to date when the actress won an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress for her portrayal of a volatile mental patient in Girl, Interrupted . Later that year, her personal life also got a boost in the form of her April marriage to Billy Bob Thornton . |
