Angelina Jolie: How She's Emerged as Hollywood's Biggest Role Model

The award-winning actress has proven time and time again that she is much more than just a star who has talents in front of (and behind) the camera, but also a woman who can conquer some of the scariest battles, a loving mother and partner and a humanitarian—just to name a few. And with those things combined, Jolie has become one of Tinseltown's biggest role models.

Let's take a look at some of the celeb's biggest accomplishments since her career in show business blossomed...

Why Angelina Jolie Matters
May 14, 2013 By Mark Greene 2 Comments

And so we, the men of the world, are offered a window into our own futures.

I have a deep and abiding respect for Jolie and Pitt. They have used their celebrity capital wisely, building housing in New Orleans following Katrina, working on humanitarian issues for the UN in 30 countries worldwide, contributing time and money to dozens of causes while living life and, by all accounts, loving each other and their children.

[...]

I do not pretend to understand what life must be like for them. To be adored and hounded by an obsessive celebrity culture, to spend their lives in a world that is doubtless both suffocating and exhilaratingly liberating all at the same time. Their world is so far removed from mine, it’s almost like living on Mars.

But I can tell you this. On days like this, when I look up and see the kinds of choices Ms. Jolie is making, I respect her and her partner Brad Pitt all the more.

I love when people around the world can see why we love and respect her so much

ETA: O.B. I bet Angelina & Brad talked to People magazine a few days before she posted her article. That's the magazine the usually go to when they want to tell the straight story about something

The words on the page brought me back to my own double mastectomy just over a year ago. Now normally, I can't help but tear up when I am brought back to that very painful time in my life. But last night, I did the opposite. I smiled and let out a sigh of relief. Relief that more and more women are getting the courage to share their stories for the most selfless reason of all...to help other women. All for the sole purpose of empowering other women with information that could save their lives.

I've been given an outlet to reach millions of women each week and I feel I have a responsibility to use it for good and not evil. For me, the decision to go public was a very difficult one, but I couldn't ignore the incredible platform I have. There is nothing like the feeling when a woman comes up to me on the street and says, "Because of you I got my first mammogram," or "Because of you, I got that strange lump checked out and it ended up being early stage breast cancer." Angelina will now also have that effect on women, but on such a grander scale: she is an international superstar and her reach is endless. For that reason, we should be proud of her for sharing her incredibly personal story for the sole purpose of changing and even saving women's lives.

The truth is, in helping other women, you end up helping yourself, and you help your soul heal. You end up being able to validate one of the most painful times in your life by realizing that maybe all the pain and the fear and the tears were worth it. I went public with my breast cancer to help others...in the end, I helped myself the most.
