| Angelina Jolie #19 - Because she is amazing in every way Welcome to the 19th Angelina Jolie APPRECIATION THREAD ![]() Birthname: Angelina Jolie Voight Birthday: 4 June 1975 Hometown: Los Angeles, California, USA ![]() Made by: Butterflygirl Members ![]() Made by: weird_angel Biography In her earliest years, Angelina began absorbing the acting craft from her parents - her father is the Oscar-winning actor Jon Voight and her mother is Marcheline Bertrand, who had studied with Lee Strasberg. At age 11, Angelina began studying at the Lee Strasberg Theatre Institute. She undertook some film studies at New York University and later joined the renowned Met Theatre Group in Los Angeles. At age 16, she took up a career in modeling and appeared in some music videos. Her exotic good looks may derive from her mixed ancestry which is Czech, French-Canadian, Iroquois and English. Her critical acclaim increased when she played strong roles in the made-for-TV movies True Women (1997) (TV), and in George Wallace (1997) (TV) which won her a Golden Globe award and an Emmy nomination. Jolie's acclaim increased even further when she played the lead role in the HBO production Gia (1998) (TV). Jolie has stated that she now plans to spend most of her time in humanitarian efforts, to be financed by her actress salary. She devotes one third of her income to savings, one third to living expenses and one third to charity. In 2002, Angelina adopted a Cambodian refugee boy named Maddox and in 2005 adopted an Ethiopian refugee girl named Zahara. In 2006 she and Brad Pitt welcomed daughter Shiloh Nouvell Jolie-Pitt. They also adopted a three-year-old Vietnamese boy named Pax. Angelina gave birth to Knox Léon Jolie-Pitt and Vivienne Marcheline Jolie-Pitt in 2008. Full biography at Imdb.com ![]() Quotes by Angelina When I started traveling with the UN I didn't do it with the intention of drawing attention, I did it because I didn't feel I knew enough about the world around me. I felt the responsibility to educate myself. We come to love not by finding the perfect person, but by learning to see an imperfect person perfectly... Only after we have lost everything, are we free to do anything... Throw things out there and not be perfect and not have answers to anything and see if people understand. Nothing wins more hearts and minds and nothing gives more freedom than education and nothing is a better deterrent for conflict than an educated child. Age is beautiful. My mother was beautiful. She was when she passed away. I have a family that loves me as I am. I see little bits of me in my daughter - so that's beauty to me. Honesty is also beauty. Refugees have done more for my heart and my spirit than I can ever express in words. I don't suffer from insanity, I enjoy every minute of it. There's something about death that is comforting. The thought that you could die tomorrow frees you to appreciate your life now ![]() Made by: xPIXIEx Quotes by others There are celebrities who have charities, but you don't see them on the ground. Angelina is on the ground doing things. Wyclef Jean Her work with refugees is not something to decorate herself. She studies the issues. Colin Powell (Former Secretary of State) I think she is a terrific talent, until I saw a running of the film, I only had my brief and limited exposure to her. Now I'm even more impressed with her than ever. Sean Connery You cannot discount the work that Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt do for people in the world. Dan Aykroyd We have very passionate conversations. [Laughs.] I always learn from her, and I never walk out of a conversation with Angie without learning something. She doesn't acknowledge borders so much, and neither do I. It's a voluntary view of the world. She's capable of respecting other cultures while remaining herself. Mariane Pearl I went to the premiere for Hotel Rwanda. Angelina Jolie was there, and she gave this speech about Darfur. At the after-party I went up to her and asked her to educate me. She asked me if I wanted to go. I would have said yes to anything she said – I was kind of hypnotized. Ryan Gosling ![]() There is a campaign thread to get a board for Angelina Jolie here.

| At least they're getting some peace and quiet, which I would believe is a nice change of pace. Just voted in the poll. __________________ | Jor | | |||
