Biography: Angelina
Jolie was born in the year 1975 . She is the daughter of Academy Award and
Golden Globe winner actor Jon Voight who has long become famous for his
excellent acting in movies like HEAT. Since she became an actress, she's
used her middle name, Jolie, as her last name, probably with the idea of
getting famous of her own performance but not from the credit of being the
daughter of an excellent actor. She grew up in Los Angeles, and 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 Meat Loaf, 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 own brother, James Haven Voight.
Angelina Jolie got married 1996 to John Lee Miller who was a co-star of
the movie Hackers, which she played in as well. But John Lee Miller is now
better known as one of the actors of the British suprising Smash Through
movie Trainspotting where he played Sickboy. In may of 1996 Angelina was
working on a picture called Playing God. In that movie the actor team
includes actors like the star of X-Files David Duchoveny and the actor
Timothy Hutton. That picture has most likely finished its production
sequence and is on the way to the big screen. When she got married she is
supposed to have been in a sexy black rubber clothes. So itīs obvious that
Angelina does things at her own style.
