Angelina Jolie Pitt (/doli/ joh-lee; ne Voight; June 4, 1975) is an
American actress, filmmaker, and humanitarian. She has received an
Academy Award, two Screen Actors Guild Awards, and three Golden Globe
Awards, and has been cited as Hollywood's highest-paid actress. Jolie made
her screen debut as a child alongside her father, Jon Voight, in Lookin' to Get
Out (1982). Her film career began in earnest a decade later with the lowbudget production Cyborg 2 (1993), followed by her first leading role in a
major film, Hackers (1995). She starred in the critically acclaimed
biographical television films George Wallace (1997) and Gia (1998), and won
an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress for her performance in the
drama Girl, Interrupted (1999).!
Jolie's starring role as the video game heroine Lara Croft in Lara Croft: Tomb
Raider (2001) established her as a leading Hollywood actress. She continued
her successful action-star career with Mr. & Mrs. Smith (2005), Wanted
(2008), and Salt (2010), and received critical acclaim for her performances in
the dramas A Mighty Heart (2007) and Changeling (2008), which earned her
a nomination for an Academy Award for Best Actress. Beginning in the 2010s,
she expanded her career by directing and producing the wartime dramas In
the Land of Blood and Honey (2011) and Unbroken (2014). Her biggest
commercial success came with the Disney fantasy Maleficent (2014).!
In addition to her film career, Jolie is noted for her humanitarian efforts, for
which she has received a Jean Hersholt Humanitarian Award and an
honorary damehood of the Order of St Michael and St George (DCMG),
among other honors. She promotes various causes, including conservation,
education, and women's rights, and is most noted for her advocacy on behalf
of refugees as a Special Envoy for the United Nations High Commissioner for
Refugees (UNHCR). As a public figure, Jolie has been cited as one of the
most influential and powerful people in the American entertainment industry,
as well as the world's most beautiful woman, by various media outlets. Her
personal life is the subject of wide publicity. Divorced from actors Jonny Lee
Miller and Billy Bob Thornton, she is now married to actor Brad Pitt. They
have six children together, three of whom were adopted internationally.
Following Pitt's marriage to Brad Pitt, she use the name "Angelina Jolie Pitt"
as her professional name.!
