Who is Angelina Jolie?
Angelina Jolie is a 42 year- old actress and
director. She won an Oscar for her role in Girl.
She is best-known for her starring role in the original Tomb Raider movie franchise. Born and bred in LA, she is the
daughter of veteran actor and star of Deliverance,
Jon Voight, and actress Marcheline Bertrand, who died in 2007.
From a young age Angelina exhibited an
eccentric personality and mental instability. Her career has been characterised
by dramas in her personal life. She wore a vial of her boyfriend Billy Bob
Thorton's blood around her neck, and likes to kiss her own brother on the red
carpet. What an odd person!
What movies has Angelina been in?
Angelina
made her silver screen debut in her dad's movie 'Lookin' To Get Out'. During
the 90s Angelina's career took off, beginning with sci-fi action flick Cyborg 2
and leading to roles in Mojave Moon, Playing God and The Bone Collector.
After 2010
she had a variety of movie projects to choose from and went for Salt, The
Tourist and Maleficent.
As a
director, Angelina has combined her humanitarian concerns with her work, making
A Place In Time, In The Land Of Blood and Honey, Unbroken and First They Killed
My Father.
She also
played in romantic drama By The Sea with Brad Pitt (2015). In 2007 she also
played Grendel's mother in Beowulf.
Angelina
Jolie has had a personal life as bizarre and dramatic as those of the
characters she's played on screen!
What about her personal life?
Angelina is
currently married to but in the middle of a divorce with Brad Pitt. The pair
got together while making Mr and Mrs Smith, when he was still married to
Jennifer Aniston.
Since then
Angelina and Brad starred together in one other film 'By The Sea', which was a
critical failure.
Brad is not
Angelina's first husband. She was married with Jonny Lee Miller from 1996 to
1999. In 2000 Angelina married Billy Bob Thornton but they split up 3 months
after adopting a child in 2003.
Two years
later she and Brad began their ''Brangelina'' love affair and she got pregnant
with his child in 2006
How much is Angelina Jolie worth?
The
Hollywood actress is reportedly worth £122 million, according to Celebrity Net
Worth.
Last year
alone, it was reported that the Academy Award-winning actress earned a
staggering £11 million.
Her wealth
combined with Brad Pitt’s wealth stands at estimated £300m, much of it being
tied up in their global property empire.
What humanitarian work has Angelina done?
When
Angelina was 26 she became the Goodwill Ambassador for the United Nations High
Commissioner for Refugees and her image began to change dramatically.
She first became
interested in the effects of humanitarian crisis while filming in war-torn
Cambodia for Tomb Raider.
Since then
she has worked with refugees in many countries, travelling to war zones to help
them, as well as fighting for land and animal conservation, women's rights,
education, child immigration to more developed countries and the prevention of
sexual violence- the last issue leading her to work with William Hague.

I watched Maleficent two years ago. It’s a wonderful movie but also Angelina is a fantastic woman.
