When we think Angelina Jolie we think intrigue. We think controversy and we think uniqueness.There are very few celebrities who match her talent. She has won 3 Golden Globes, one Oscar, and she's still in her twenties.

By age 16, Angelina moved out on her own and began modeling. She had parts in music videos, most notably the Rolling Stones. She began film studies at the New York University.She soon gave up on school and began working with the Met Theatre Group in Los Angeles. Angelina was not yet certain that acting was what she wanted out of life, but she definitely thought it sparked an interest. "I loved some kind of expression ... I'm very good at trying to explore different emotions and listen to people and feel things. That is an actor, I think."

She had started acting full time by 1993. Her first notable role was in Hackers; the film got bad reviews but got good reviews for Angelina. A slew of underappreciated and impressive roles followed, Angelina won a Golden Globe for Best Supporting Actress for George Wallace.

But it was her starring role in HBO's Gia (based on the life of model Gia Carangi) that skyrocketed her to success. The film was a huge hit, both with audiences and critics alike. The film won Angelina a Golden Globe, for Best Actress.

Pushing Tin, The Bone Collector, and Playing By Heart followed each receiving mixed reviews, but all coming back with one thing in common : Angelina was excellent. She carried both Pushing Tin and The Bone Collector, and her and Ryan Phillippe were simply captivating in Playing By Heart. But, it was Girl, Interrupted, a film that was supposed to relaunch Winona Ryder, that in fact catapulted Angelina into superstardom. She won an Oscar, and was quickly established as the actress in Hollywood.

But with fame, also comes the scrutiny of the public eye. Her devotion to her brother lead to ludicrous rumors of romantic involvement which undermined everything beautiful about her relationship with her brother (James Haven). Then, she married actor Billy Bob Thorton (formerly involved with Laura Dern) after an alleged mental institution stay.

Regardless, there are very few actors who command the attention, respect, and awe of entire audiences. Angelina is an actress for the ages, and personal problems or not, one of the most interesting and real actors in Hollywood.
