Life Path of Angelina Jolie

Imagine life through the eyes of Angelina Jolie. Abandoned at the age of one by her father, her mother was forced to give up her dream of acting to become a full time mom for Angelina and her brother, James Haven. Although Angelina and her father, Jon Voight, still kept in touch, their relationship was very distant and unloving. She claimed not to be able to respect a man who could leave his perfect family life for a career in acting. Being that both her mother, Marcheline Bertrand, and her father were in love with film making, and the theatre, she was forced into this business. Angelina began her career as an actress at the age of five, although her first official screen appearance wasnt until she was seven years old. Can you even imagine starting your future at the early age of five years? After this role she went on to perform in Hackers (where she met her ex-husband Johnny Lee Miller), FoxFire, and Cyborge

However she caught the publics eye with George Wallce (in which she won a Golden Globe for Best Supporting Actress). Follwing this she was awarded another Golden Globe, this time for Best Actress in the made for television film Gia. Next she began working on the film Pushing Tin. Angelina told People magazine I had so much fun working on this movie, everyone was high sprited and ready to produce a best seller. (Jolie, peoplemagazine. com, Angelina Jolie) Next came the most popular movies in the career of Jolie, Playing by Heart, Bone Collector, Girl, Interrupted (at which she was awarded best supporting actress), Gone in 60 seconds, and finally The Yes, Jolie, has a very lengthy list of star roles but her first real dream for the future was to become a funeral director. She told US Weekly: There's something about death that is comforting. The thought you could die tomorrow frees you to appreciate your life now." (US Weekly, Angelina Jolie, June 2000, pg45) She believed this as her destiny until she was 16 and decided to move out on her own to become a model. She worked as a professional model in London, New York and Los Angeles. This proceeded until her true calling, acting, came back to her. She attended the Lee Strasberg Institute for two years, the MET Theatre Emsemble, and film classes at New York University. All of these courses and her past experiences in films have made her into the actress she is now.

On a more personal note of Angelina Jolie, she has a very mysterious glow about her. Much of society has become uneasy with the terms of Angelinas beliefs. Although she may seem fragile and meek, there is so much more to uncover in the life of Jolie. One fact is that she is covered in a variety of tattoos. Many of them death symbals and violent slanders. Another factor in Jolies life is her sense of style. She has never been affraid to sport her own blood on a t-shirt. For her wedding to Johnny Lee Miller she wore black leather pants and a white t-shirt with his name printed across the front in her own blood. Another bloody incident in the foutain of a hotel the night she won her Golden Globe for Gia, she wrote Millers name on her wedding dress with her own blood and tattooed her body with knives. Jolie once stated I don't think the money people in Hollywood have ever thought I was normal, but I am dedicated to my work and that's what counts (celebrities/angelinajolie.com). Jolie has amitted to bringing her favorite knives to bed with her while she is sleeping.

Along with tattoos Jolie also has a number of scars from playing with her knives. She said I am attracted to scars more than something perfect (angelinajolie.com). How could someone with these interests not get a gothic vibe? Another shocking scene that Angelina put on was at the Oscars where she stated My brother is the most incrediable man I have ever met. This left viewers uneasy and unsure of what was going on between the siblings. There have also been people saying the two actually made-out on stage at the Oscars. Its hard to not think of Jolie as a sick minded and twisted young woman after all these facts. Many feel that this was just the way she was brought up and she shouldnt be judged for it. Michael Cristofer stated, : "She's adventurous and bold and honest about a lot of things. People like pinning labels on her. It's a better story if she's slightly destructive rather than the wholesome girl next door." (angelicangelina.com)

Angelina isnt all sick stories and scars she has had many wonderful things take place in her life. Many didnt know that she was offered to be the thrid Charlies Angel. She denied the offer because she didnt feel fit for the part. She was also in many music Angelina Jolie has not had a very easy life, but yet she has made the best of what she does have. She decided to share her talent with the world, along with all her questionable beliefs. Angelina and her desire to act should not be taken lightly, she has a passion to live each day to the fullest and to make her life a memorable
