Angelina Jolie

Angelina Jolie (also credited as Angelina Jolie Voight and Angelina Voight) is an American screen artist born June 4, 1975, in Los Angeles, California. Celebrated for her range and star power, she has earned major industry honors, including an Academy Award, multiple Golden Globes, and a Tony Award, and has frequently ranked among Hollywood’s top-paid performers.

Jolie first appeared on screen as a child opposite her father, Jon Voight, before building momentum in the 1990s with projects such as Hackers. Breakthrough acclaim arrived with her Oscar-winning performance as Lisa in Girl, Interrupted, followed by a run of high-profile roles that showcased both intensity and charisma—among them Mr. & Mrs. Smith (Jane Smith), Original Sin (Julia Russell/Bonnie Castle), Alexander (Olympias), The Good Shepherd (Margaret Ann Russell), and voice work in Shark Tale (Lola).

Beyond acting, Jolie has expanded into filmmaking, writing and directing acclaimed war dramas while also producing for the stage. Her public life is equally defined by humanitarian work, including longtime advocacy for refugees, education, conservation, and women’s rights through international field missions and global partnerships.
