Name at birth: Angelina Jolie VoightAngelina Jolie is known to most moviegoers as the live-action version of the video game heroine Lara Croft, whom she has portrayed in Tomb Raider (2001) and Tomb Raider: Cradle of Life (2003). Jolie first made a splash in 1998, playing doomed model Gia Marie Carangi in the HBO movie Gia. She became a big-time movie star after winning an Oscar for her supporting role in the 1999 Winona Ryder film Girl, Interrupted. Jolie's plush-lipped brooding Gothic presence (and tattoos) made her a hit with the younger generation especially, and her wild-life off-screen antics made her a hit with the tabloids while she was married to actor Billy Bob Thornton (2000-2003). In the 21st century she also became known for her charitable impulses: she was named a goodwill ambassador for the United Nations High Commissioner on Refugees in 2001. She adopted a Cambodian boy, Maddox, in 2002, and a daughter born in Ethiopia, Zahara, in 2005. Her other films have included Gone in Sixty Seconds (2000, with Nicolas Cage), Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow (2004, starring Jude Law) and Mr. & Mrs. Smith (2005, opposite Brad Pitt). She and Pitt began a romance in 2005; in 2006 Jolie legally changed the names of her children to Maddox and Zahara Jolie-Pitt. Jolie's first child with Pitt, a daughter named Shiloh Nouvel Jolie-Pitt, was born on 27 May 2006 at a resort in Namibia movies layout @ HOT FreeLayouts.com love / music / movies / frazy
