Angelina Jolie Detailed Biography
Angelina Jolie Voight was born in Los Angeles on the 4th of June 1975,
apparently at 09:09, and growing up there Angelina was no stranger to
the film industry, being the daughter of her Academy Award-winning
father Jon Voight and of model Marcheline Bertrand.
Although her dream as a child was actually to become a funeral director,
a 16 year-old Jolie worked as a professional model in London, New York
and Los Angeles. Musical groups such as the Rolling Stones, Lemonheads,
Meatloaf, Lenny Kravitz had her cast in their music videos, and even
brother James Haven Voight directed Jolie in his student films for USC
School of Cinema.
Jolie's first foray into films were more of a sci-fi nature, with a
supporting role in the 1993 Cyborg II: Glass Shadows, which didn't even
make it to the big screen, and a lead role in Hackers, where she met her
future husband, the British actor Jonny Lee Miller of Trainspotting
fame. It should be noted that Jolie's performance was the only redeeming
factor of the movie. Jolie and Miller's morbid wedding reception, where
Jolie wore black and had Jonny's name written across the back of her
shirt in blood, could have foreshadowed that their marriage would not
live too long - they were separated within the year and filed for
divorce in 1999.Her marriage to Miller may be the only failure Jolie has
yet to experience, since her career as an actress is flying high.
In 1997 she joined the ranks of more known cast members with a
supporting role in the box-office bomb Playing God, starring The
X-Files' David Duchovny and Timothy Hutton.
Jolie's television roles were what gained her ultimate respect among
critics. She was honored with a 1997 Best Supporting Actress Golden
Globe Award and an Emmy nomination for her role as Cornelia Wallace in
the TV movie George Wallace, co-starring Gary Sinise.On the big-screen,
Jolie was well received by audiences for her role in 1998's Playing By
Heart, with Sean Connery, Gillian Anderson and Ryan Phillippe.
Jolie has recently married her Pushing Tin co-star Billy Bob Thornton.
