Biography
American actress, notoriously off-beat, the buff heroine of a videogame
character, Lara Croft, in the film "Tomb Raider." The film,
based on a video game, raced to the top of box-office winners when it
opened in mid-June 2001, copping the most money ever made on a movie
opening. Doing most of her stunts herself, Jolie is comfortable with guns,
martial arts and guy-flics.
When she won the Oscar as Best Supporting Actress for "Girl,
Interrupted" in 2000, she planted a startling lip-lock on her brother
then gushed to the Academy, "I'm so in love with my brother."
Though she may coolly discuss her teenage foray into self-mutilation, a
past interest in drugs and former incestuous longings, she objected to
implications of brotherly love when interviewed by Jay Leno. She says that
her interest in death is due to the intensity of her passion for life, but
adds that “I also think I'm very drawn to some things that are
tradition, that are roots, and I think that may be why I focused on
funerals."
The daughter of actor Jon Voight and former actress Marcheline
Bertrand, Jolie was only a toddler when they divorced, age two with an
older brother, James Haven Voight. Angelina remains very close to her
mother and brother but feels some abandonment issues with her dad; they
gradually became close over their work in common and his teaching her
golf.
After moves that included New York and London, the family returned to
Los Angeles when Angelina was eleven. "When we moved back from New
York, I had gotten really into leather," she said, adding, "I
eat nothing but red meat."
At 14, she had her first boyfriend move in with her at her mother's
house. She began body-cutting in order to "feel something
emotionally" but felt that she had herself together by the time she
was 16. It was then that she seriously committed herself to her career,
getting her own apartment and beginning to study acting in earnest. Jolie
appeared in several music videos and won her first film lead in
"Hackers," a 1995 cyberthriller. Even then, some six years
before her first Golden Globe, she was no stranger to awards shows. Jane
magazine recently devoted a full page to a picture of Angelina at eleven
or twelve, all mouth and eyes and Eighties hair, decked out in pearls and
white lace, accompanying her father to the Oscars. "I'm surprised I
went to another one of those things after that," she says, looking at
the picture.
Jolie collects knives and has talked freely about using them in sex
play. In 1996, she married actor Jonny Lee Miller, age 24, (best known for
his role as Sick Boy in Trainspotting) wearing a silk blouse decorated
with his name written in her blood and tattooed on her arm. Both young and
involved in different projects, they soon separated amiably. Her junkets
with heroin were apparently during the 1998 HBO flic, "Gia,"
about a doomed, drug-addicted bisexual supermodel. In 1999 she continued
roles with psychotic overtones, "The Bone Collector,"
"Pushing Tin" and "Sixty Seconds."
In June 2000, she married Billy Bob Thornton, four times divorced and
19 years older, a union that was still sizzling a year later.
(Thornton,8/04/1955, Hot Springs AR) "I'm obsessed with Billy. I
always want more. I can't have enough of him." She also continued her
obsession with blood and tattoos, wearing an amulet with Billy Bob's blood
around her neck and his name tatooed on her arm.
