Biography of Angelina Jolie

Angelina Jolie seemed destined for greatness from birth. Daughter of actor Jon Voight and actress/model Marcheline Bertrand, she was the celebrity birth of her generation. But this early attention did not help her when her parents got divorced. Throughout life, she has often felt awkward and out of place. But in the last few years, as she has ventured into charitable goals, she has seemed to find her place in the world. Here is the fascinating biography of a woman that is a sex symbol, a humanitarian, an actress, and a mother, all rolled into one camera ready package.

As Angelina Jolie grew up, she did not lead the charmed life many people think she had. Her family did not have much money, and as a high school student at Beverly Hills High School, she was expected to dress well no matter who her parents were. As a gangly girl with braces, wearing thrift store clothing, Angelina Jolie was constantly made fun of. Perhaps because Jon Voight was her father, or perhaps because she was just so different from everyone else, they expected her to be something she wasn't. As the world came to find out later, it's difficult to force her to say or do anything she doesn't feel like doing.

Jolie had several unusual experiences in high school, including a live-in boyfriend. At age 16, they broke up, and Jolie got into acting more heavily. Her first role on-stage was as a German dominatrix. But this was not her first brush with sexual activities which many people consider unusual. Jolie engaged in S&M with her live-in boyfriend when they were together, and she still has a light scar from when she asked him to cut her across her chin. This was not the last experience she had with such activities. She has freely admitted to being involved in such activities with both of her husbands and also in a lesbian relationship, and was falsely rumored to have had a sexual relationship with her own brother. Many people were all too ready to believe the rumor, because she had been so open and so bold in her sexual activities.
