Thanks in large part to her full lips, husky voice and mixed heritage beauty, Angelina Jole has become one of the most famous women on earth. Once called the top sex symbol in history, she is known as a top movie actress and also her relationship with Brad Pitt.
Her beauty may be attributed to her mixed ancestry. She is part Czech, French-Canadian, Iroquois Indian, and English. Born on June 4, 1975 in Los Angeles, California, the actress is the daughter of award winning actor Jon Voight. She began her career as a top model in London, England. She studied acting at the prestigious Lee Strasberg Theatre Institute in Los Angeles where she appeared in several stage productions. She starred in five student films all directed by her brother James Haven.
Next came appearances in music videos of artists including Meatloaf, Lenny Kravitz, The Lemonheads, and Antonello Venditti. She then started acting in major motion pictures. Her break through performance came alongside Denzel Washington in 1999s The Bone Collector. Later that year, she starred in the movie Girl Interrupted, a role which would lead to her winning the trifecta of acting awards. Jole won an Academy Award, a SAG Award, and a Golden Globe award for her leading actress in a supporting role in Girl Interrupted.
In 1995, Angelina starred in Hackers and would soon thereafter marry her co-star in the picture, Jonny Lee Miller. She was seen wearing a shirt with Millers name outlined in her blood on the back of the shirt. After divorcing Miller, she married her Pushing Tin co-star Billy Bob Thornton in 1999. At the time, the couple each wore vials of each others blood around their necks.
By 2008s star turn in the movie Wanted, Angelina was being paid amongst the highest entertainers in the world and certainly amongst the very top actresses at $15 million. In her latest high octane thriller, she earned $20 million for her role in Salt.
In 2001, the young actress was asked to play the lead role in the movie adaptation of a popular video game, Lara Croft and in the 2003 sequel. She initially declined the offer to act in the movie franchise, but changed her mind. The role was later seen as a milestone for females playing a lead in an action adventure movie.
