Now Viewing: angelina_jolieTag type: Character A light-skinned woman who usually appears with long_hair. Her hair is usually dark brown, but she has appeared as a blonde in some films. She is known for her prominent, full lips, a trait she inherited from her father. She is an American actress/director who was born as Angelina Jolie Voight on June 4, 1975 in Los Angeles, United States. She is the daughter of famed actor Jon Voight and actress Marcheline Bertrand, and is the younger sister of James Haven who later became an actor as well although Angelina would end up having the more successful acting career of the two. However, Voight left his Bertrand shortly after Angelina was born, planting the seed for the two's estranged relationship. Jolie debuted on one of her father's movies, the 1982 movie Lookin' to Get Out, but she didn't seriously pursue acting until she was in her late teens with her acting career starting in earnest in the 1990s. Jolie had a deeply troubled youth, often feeling alienated from her peers and suffering mental health problems that developed into suicidal tendencies. Her personal issues also influenced her acting career. As an aspiring actor, she was often rejected in auditions for being too dark, and when her acting career was taking off, she often played mentally troubled or tough, rebellious characters. Her off screen behavior was frequently the subject of tabloids that painted her as someone seemingly out of control. The film Lara_Croft Tomb Raider (2001), an adaptation of the Core Design Tomb_Raider games marked a turning point for her personally and professionally. For the film, she had to film at Cambodia, a country that she immediately became fascinated with. She was also troubled by the consequences of war on the nation, which motivated her to visit other refugee camps, jumpstarting her passion for humanitarian activism, a passion that influenced some of the movies she would later make such as Beyond Borders and First They Killed My Father. She adopted a Cambodian orphan, Maddox Chivan, and Jolie would later cite her adoption of him as the key moment that helped her shed the self destructive tendencies that plagued her early life. Professionally, the movie's box office success established her as an A-list actor, and made her a popular choice for action heroine roles. However, as a director, most of her films have been drama films with her staying behind the camera while other actors take center stage. As an actor, some of her well known roles include: Lisa Rowe from Girl, Interrupted (a role she won Best Supporting Actress for), Lara Croft, Maleficent from the live action Maleficent films, and Tigress from the Kung_Fu_Panda series. She is openly bisexual and has been romantically linked with multiple co-stars: Jenny Shimizu, Johnny Lee Miller, Billy Bob Thornton, and Brad_Pitt. She had married the latter three and her relationship with Pitt was notably the longest, starting when the two were filming Mr._and_Mrs. Smith and lasting until 2016.
