Born in 1975 in a family of actors Jon Voight and Marcheline Bertrand, the daughter, who was named Angelina Jolie (yes, Jolie is actually a middle name, it later became a surname due to a quarrel with her father), was doomed to at least try to become an actress. However, many of Voight's acquaintances already knew her, and Angelina treated the people of cinema without much reverence - in Beverly Hills it is much more difficult to meet representatives of other professions. In general, Angelina knew which doors to knock on.
But after the first acquaintance with the film process, everything remains in the hands of the future star. Angelina's brother received a lot of small roles, but was never able to prove himself. But his sister climbed to the top. Dozens of films, Oscars, three Golden Globes, a host of other awards, the highest fees in Hollywood and a multi-million army of fans - Angelina Jolie went down in the history of world cinema as a superstar.
In the given selection of facts, there is no filmography of Angelina Jolie or the chronology of her film career. This information, although scattered, rather characterizes the actress from the personal side. Although for actors of this level, it is very difficult to determine which personality is their own, and which one they flaunt.
1. Angelina's uncle Chip Taylor is a country star. On his account, 11 albums and a couple of songs that took first places in the charts.
2. Angelina's older brother James Haven, after unsuccessful attempts to make an acting career, found his own niche. First, he made a film about an Indian poet, and then became the producer of the Artivist festival, for which films about the protection of a wide variety of rights and their owners are selected.
3. Angelina attended a school with a rather telling name "Beverly Hills High School" (It is worth recalling, however, that "High School" is an analogue of a regular high school). There was no special dress code at school, but not everyone liked the girl's habit of wearing punk-style clothes. Chip Taylor, who had dealings with real punks and hooligans, already at that time saw pretense in his niece's behavior.
4. As the actress herself says, she did not like parties and parties. Just at the age of 14, she brought home a guy named Chris Landon and began to live with him in her room. Mom didn't mind. There were neighbors who did not like loud music and drowning out screams. This went on for two years.
5. Already at the age of 16, Jolie has demonstrated an astounding soundness of judgment for her age and temperament. She successfully studied for two years at the acting school of Lee Strandberg, from which many film stars graduated. However, Strandberg was an ardent admirer of the Stanislavsky system. Angelina felt that in order to continue working on this system, she did not have enough life experience, and left school.
6. Angelina's film debut in the film "Cyborg-2" was remembered only by the fact that it showed her naked breasts. The film was not even shown in the cinema, but was immediately released on videotapes.

7. Jolie's second film "Hackers" from a cinematic point of view was not much more successful than the first, but the actress met her first husband Johnny Lee Miller during the filming.
8. Angelina and girls did not shy away - even before her marriage to Miller, she had a passionate relationship with actress Jenny Shimizu.
9. By the actress's own admission, she tried all kinds of drugs, including heroin. The biggest impression on her was marijuana.
10. Depression is an indispensable part of Jolie's life. After Cyborg II, she became depressed due to the failure of the film, following her role in Gia (Screen Actors Guild Awards and Golden Globes) due to apathy after success.
11. While preparing for the film “The Reign of Fear,” where she played the role of a police officer, the actress met the police and borrowed photographs of mutilated corpses from them for better immersion in the role.
12. When at the Oscars ceremony, Angelina, according to the press, kissed her brother too passionately, a wave of criticism fell on her. The film crew of the movie "The Temptation" helped to dispel. Antonio Banderas invited Mexican musicians to the trailer early, and each of the band members gave a rose. Jolie received over 200 roses.
13. Banderas, who already had experience with Madonna, was slightly wary of Angelina Jolie's sexual reputation. Nevertheless, during the editing of "Temptation" I had to cut out 10 minutes of explicit filming.

14. Jolie and Billy Bob Thornton's wedding ceremony lasted 20 minutes and cost $ 189. The bride and groom were dressed in jeans.
15. Marriage of Thornton and Jolie broke up after Angelina got seriously involved in charity work and decided to adopt a child. Billy Bob did not resist, but continued to lead a normal life and touring with his group. The wife did not like it.
16. Angelina quit playing "Lara Croft" when she could not translate the heroine of a computer game over the wall. Johnny Lee Miller annoyed her by spending hours playing this game. Therefore, Jolie agreed to a role in the film "Lara Croft: Tomb Raider."
17. For filming in "Lara Croft" the actress had to gain 9 kg of weight and undergo a special training course. She performed all the stunts and battle scenes in the film herself.
18. In the film "Alexander", Jolie (Olympics) and Colin Farrell (Alexander the Great) played a mother and son, although in reality the actress is only a year older than her partner. And Val Kilmer (Philip II), when shooting bed scenes with Jolie, specially confused lines in order to increase the number of takes.
19. During a period of uncertainty in the Jennifer Aniston-Brad Pitt-Angelina Jolie triangle, T-shirts with the words “Team Aniston” and “Team Jolie” were sold in the United States. Judging by the results of sales, Aniston won with a score of 25: 1. And Pitt left Aniston for Jolie. 3 children were born in the marriage, and together with the adopted children there were 6 children in the family.
20.On 20 September 2016, Jolie's lawyer announced that she filed for divorce. For Pitt, this was a very unpleasant surprise, especially since the spouse brought rather serious charges against him. We are not talking about the standard Hollywood “insurmountable differences”. But they talk about the use of weed and alcohol, neglect of children and the negligent performance of the father's duties. However, according to the latest information, the divorce has not yet been formalized. Moreover, Angelina and Brad, according to some publications, managed to make up.
