| Angelina Jolie's Biography |
Angelina Jolie Voight, daughter of Oscar winning actor Jon Voight and actress Marcheline Bertrand, used her middle name as her last name (French translation of beautiful), probably in order to succeed independently of her father's success as an actor.
At 25, Angelina Joli Voight has a pragmatic, wise-beyond-her-years demeanor. This may, in part, be due to the fact that she grew up in a show business family. Her father is the Oscar winning actor, Jon Voight. Her mother is former actress Archeline Bertrand who now manages Angelina's career. To avoid comparisons with her fathers acting legacy, Angelina dropped his last name to use her middle name in it's place.
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.
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. The best was only yet to come for Jolie. She won her second Golden Globe for her role as model Gia Carangi in HBO's biopic Gia. Her intense role as the drug-addicted model that was diagnosed with AIDS was highly deserving of the Best Actress Golden Globe, Emmy nomination and critical acclaim it received.
Joli has once again served up a profound performance that has earned her a Golden Globe award for best supporting actress and an Oscar nomination in the same category. Angelina is readily becoming the poster girl for 21st century film. She is Daring, intense, passionate and innovative. She has emerged as the symbol of a new generation of strong willed, intelligent women.
