Angelina Jolie, born on June 4, 1975, in Los Angeles, California, is an American actress, director, and renowned humanitarian. Known for her bold persona, striking beauty, and passionate advocacy, she rose to fame with her captivating performance in *Girl, Interrupted* (1999), which earned her an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress for her portrayal of a troubled mental patient.

Angelina Jolie has garnered widespread recognition for her remarkable humanitarian efforts. In August 2002, she received the inaugural Humanitarian Award from the Church World Service’s Immigration and Refugee Program. A year later, she became the first recipient of the Citizen of the World Award, presented by the United Nations Correspondents Association. Her dedication to humanitarian causes continued to be recognized, and in October 2005, she was honored with the Global Humanitarian Award by the UNA-USA. Jolie’s commitment to improving the lives of refugees was further acknowledged in November 2007 when she was awarded the Freedom Award by the International Rescue Committee.

In 2011, after a decade of service as a Goodwill Ambassador for the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), Jolie was presented with a special gold pin by UN High Commissioner António Guterres, a rare honor reserved for the most dedicated staff.

In 2013, her humanitarian work earned her the prestigious Jean Hersholt Humanitarian Award, an honorary Academy Award, from the Board of Governors of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. The following year, Jolie's tireless advocacy for global issues, particularly the fight to end sexual violence in conflict zones, led to her appointment as an Honorary Dame Commander of the Order of St Michael and St George (DCMG). Queen Elizabeth II personally bestowed the insignia of this honor upon Jolie during a private ceremony in October 2014, recognizing her extraordinary contributions to both the United Kingdom’s foreign policy and her broader humanitarian efforts.

Early Life

The daughter of actor Jon Voight, Jolie spent much of her early years in New York City before moving to Los Angeles at the age of 11. She trained at the Lee Strasberg Theatre and Film Institute for two years and later attended Beverly Hills High School. Jolie continued to hone her craft at New York University, where she studied drama. In addition to acting, she ventured into modeling and appeared in several music videos, further broadening her artistic pursuits.

Film Career

Jolie’s breakthrough role came in 1995 with *Hackers*, a film that, despite its failure at the box office, marked the beginning of her career in Hollywood. During the making of the film, she met her first husband, British actor Jonny Lee Miller, whom she married in 1996, though their marriage ended in divorce in 1999.

While *Hackers* did not find widespread success, Jolie’s talent soon became undeniable. In 1997, she attracted significant attention with her portrayal of the wife of Alabama’s segregationist governor in the television movie *George Wallace*. Her performance won her a Golden Globe Award, further solidifying her place in the industry. The following year, she delivered a standout performance in the HBO biopic *Gia*, where she portrayed the tragic life of supermodel Gia Carangi. Her deeply moving portrayal of a woman battling drug addiction earned her multiple accolades, including another Golden Globe Award and a Screen Actors Guild Award.

By 1999, Jolie had established herself as one of Hollywood’s most promising actresses. She starred alongside John Cusack and Billy Bob Thornton in the comedy *Pushing Tin*. Shortly after, in a highly publicized move, she married Thornton, though the marriage would eventually end in 2003. Jolie’s early years in the industry showcased not only her versatility but also her willingness to take on complex, emotionally demanding roles.

Following her Oscar-winning performance in *Girl, Interrupted*, Angelina Jolie embraced a string of action-packed roles that showcased her versatility and physicality. In *Gone in Sixty Seconds* (2000), she portrayed the girlfriend of a carjacker, played by Nicolas Cage, delivering a compelling performance in a fast-paced heist film. Jolie then transformed herself for the iconic role of Lara Croft, the fearless adventurer in *Lara Croft: Tomb Raider* (2001) and its sequel *Lara Croft Tomb Raider: The Cradle of Life* (2003). With a British accent, rigorous street fighting training, and the skills of a seasoned kickboxer, she embodied the character’s strength and resilience, making Lara Croft one of her most recognized roles.

In 2004, Jolie took on the role of Olympias, the mother of Alexander the Great, in Oliver Stone’s *Alexander*. She also starred in the visually striking sci-fi adventure *Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow*, opposite Gwyneth Paltrow and Jude Law, set in a futuristic 1930s New York City. Though neither film achieved commercial success, Jolie’s ability to seamlessly shift between genres was clear.

However, it was *Mr. & Mrs. Smith* (2005) that would mark a significant turning point in her career. In this action-comedy, she played a secret assassin, disguised as a suburban housewife, alongside Brad Pitt. The film was a major box office success, and it was during its production that Jolie and Pitt, who became her partner both on and off screen, first met.
