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. TriviaHer tattoos include:
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. FilmographyComing soon or in production
