Angelina Jolie was born in Los Angeles on June 4, 1975, to an actress mother and an actor father. The latter is the well-known Oscar winner Jon Voight with whom Angelina has always had a very difficult relationship. The surname Jolie was chosen as a middle name by her mother, it means pretty and Angelina took it to distance herself from her father.
The adolescence of the young girl is difficult. She is self-mutilated and, mocked by her classmates for her look, she ends up abandoning her acting classes. She then decided to start modeling and also appeared in many videos. At 16, she changed her mind and resumed her acting classes, then started acting alongside her father, with whom she has a complicated relationship.
After several appearances in films by her brother, director James Haven, it is with a low-budget film, Glass Shadow, in 1993, that the career of the actress really starts. In 1995, she gets her first leading role in the film Hackers.
Then with George Wallace in 1997 and Woman of Dreams in 1998, two critically acclaimed biographical films, the career of Angelina Jolie takes a new momentum. The actress, known for her many tattoos that force filmmakers to be creative during love scenes, reached the peak of her fame with 60 seconds (2000) and her interpretation of the video game heroine Lara Croft in Lara Croft: Tomb Raider (2001). Propelled to international stardom, the sultry Angie has since established herself as one of Hollywood’s most famous and highest-paid actresses.
In 2000, she won a Golden Globe and an Oscar for Best Supporting Actress for James Mangold’s A Stolen Life.

The filming of Tomb Raider, in Cambodia, made her aware of humanitarian causes. In 2001, she became an ambassador for the UNHCR (United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees) and conducted more than 40 missions in the field.
She distinguished herself by going on several occasions to conflict zones, notably in Iraq, in the Darfur province of Sudan and in Libya during the Arab revolutions of 2011. Her loyalty to the refugee cause for more than ten years led to her appointment in April 2012 as UNHCR Special Envoy. An exceptional position that allows her to represent the UNHCR at the diplomatic level.
