Angelina
Jolie (born Angelina Jolie Voight on June 4, 1975) is an American film

reported. She has received three Golden Globe Awards, two Screen Actors
Guild Awards, and an Academy Award.

role in a major film was in Hackers (1995). She starred in the
critically acclaimed biographical films George Wallace (1997) and Gia
(1998), and won an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress for her
performance in the drama Girl, Interrupted (1999).
Jolie
achieved international fame as a result of her portrayal of videogame
heroine Lara Croft in Lara Croft: Tomb Raider (2001), and since then
has established herself as one of the best known and highest paid
actresses in Hollywood. She had her biggest commercial success with the
action-comedy Mr. & Mrs. Smith (2005).

attention. Jolie and Pitt have three adopted children, Maddox, Pax, and
Zahara, as well as a biological daughter named Shiloh. Jolie has
