Biography

Jolie, the daughter of actor Jon Voight and Marcheline Bertrand, was born in Los Angeles, California and as a child dreamt of becoming a funeral director. She attended the Lee Strasberg Theatre Institute from the age of 11 and later completed a degree in film at New York University.

On March 28, 1996 she married British actor Jonny Lee Miller, with whom she had co-starred in the movie Hackers. Jolie attended her wedding in black leather trousers and a white shirt, which had her husband's name painted in her blood on the back. Jolie and Miller divorced on February 3, 1999. Jolie then married American actor Billy Bob Thornton on May 5, 2000, and together they adopted a son from Cambodia, Maddox Chivan Thornton Jolie, who was born on August 5, 2001. Jolie and Thornton divorced on May 27, 2003, and Jolie now has custody of Maddox.

Jolie has been long estranged from her father, actor Jon Voight, though a reconciliation was attempted by his appearing with her in Lara Croft: Tomb Raider. In the October 2004 issue of Premiere Magazine, Jolie indicated that she was no longer interested in pursuing a relationship with her father. Soon after he exploited a claim that she has "serious emotional problems" on Access Hollywood , she legally dropped Voight as her last name.

In addition to her acting, Jolie has also been a Goodwill Ambassador for the United Nations High Commission for Refugees since 2001; worked as a professional model in London, New York and Los Angeles and appeared in numerous music videos including those of Meat Loaf, Lenny Kravitz, and the Rolling Stones. Jolie was also one of the first celebrities to accept an invitation to be one of the bearers of the Olympic Torch during the 2004 Olympic Games, though she was ultimately unable to participate due to filming commitments.

In 2003, she published Notes from My Travels, a collection of journal entries chronicling her early work with the U.N..

In the fall of 2004, it was reported that Jolie has started proceedings to adopt another child, this time from Russia.

Around the same time, Lauryn Galindo, the Hawaii-based adoption facilitator whose services Jolie had used to adopt Maddox, was sentenced to 18 months in prison after pleading guilty to visa fraud and money laundering charges. She had been falsifying records of children to be adopted in visa applications to the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, and several of the children she placed had not been abandoned at all but were enticed away or bought from their birth families. It does not appear that Maddox was among them, although the investigation is continuing.

Trivia

Her tattoos include:

  • the letter H on the inside of her left wrist
  • A prayer for the wild at heart, kept in cages (Tennessee Williams) on her left forearm
  • a dragon on her left arm
  • 死, the Chinese character for "death" (pronounced in Mandarin, and shi when used in Japanese) on the back of her left shoulder
  • two pointy black tribals on the lower parts of her back
  • Quod me nutrit me destruit (Latin for "What nourishes me destroys me") several inches below her navel
  • a tilted Latin cross on the lower left of her abdomen
  • a large Asian tiger on her back

She also once had a tattoo on her upper left arm that said "Billy Bob" in honor of her then-husband Billy Bob Thornton but has subsequently removed this tattoo.

Jolie has gone on record as saying that a positive effect resulting from the large number of tattoos on her body is that filmmakers have been forced to be more creative when plotting any nude or love scenes.

She has said she is bisexual.

She has continually denied rumors of an incestuous relationship with her brother, James Haven. During her acceptance speech for winning the Best Actress in a Supporting Role award for Girl Interrupted during the 2000 Academy Awards, Jolie stated "I'm so in love with my brother" which, combined with her affectionate behavior towards her brother that night, sparked the rumors.

Her nickname is Catwoman.
