Early life and family
Angelina Jolie Voight was born on June 4, 1975, in Los Angeles, California, to actors Jon Voight and Marcheline Bertrand.[4][5] She is the sister of actor James Haven as well as the niece of singer-songwriter Chip Taylor[6] and geologist and volcanologist Barry Voight.[7] Her godparents are actors Jacqueline Bisset and Maximilian Schell.[8] On her father's side, Jolie is of German and Slovak descent,[9] while her mother was of French-Canadian ancestry. Jolie has claimed to have partial Indigenous (Iroquois) ancestry.[10]
Following her parents' separation in 1976, she and her brother lived with their mother, who had abandoned her acting ambitions to focus on raising her children.[11] Jolie's mother raised her as a Catholic but did not require her to go to church.[12] As a child, she often watched films with her mother and it was this, rather than her father's successful career, that inspired her interest in acting,[13] though she had a bit part in Voight's Lookin' to Get Out (1982) at age seven.[14] When Jolie was six years old, Bertrand and her live-in partner, filmmaker Bill Day, moved the family to Palisades, New York;[15] they returned to Los Angeles five years later.[11] Jolie then decided she wanted to act and enrolled at the Lee Strasberg Theatre Institute, where she trained for two years and appeared in several stage productions.
Jolie first attended Beverly Hills High School, where she felt isolated among the children of some of the area's affluent families because her mother managed on a more modest income. She was teased by other students, who targeted her for being extremely thin and for wearing glasses and braces.[13] Her early attempts at modeling, at her mother's insistence, proved unsuccessful.[16][17] She then transferred to Moreno High School, an alternative school, where she became a "punk outsider,"[16] wearing all-black clothing, going out moshing, and engaging in knife play with her live-in boyfriend.[13] She dropped out of her acting classes and aspired to become a funeral director,[14] taking at-home courses to study embalming.[18] At age 16, after the relationship had ended, Jolie graduated from high school and rented her own apartment before returning to theater studies,[11][16] though in 2004 she referred to this period with the observation, "I am still at heart—and always will be—just a punk kid with tattoos."[19]
As a teenager, Jolie found it difficult to emotionally connect with other people, and as a result she self-harmed,[20] later commenting, "For some reason, the ritual of having cut myself and feeling the pain, maybe feeling alive, feeling some kind of release, it was somehow therapeutic to me."[21] She also struggled with insomnia and an eating disorder[18] and began using drugs; by age 20, she had used "just about every drug possible," particularly heroin.[22] Jolie had episodes of depression and planned to commit suicide twice—at age 19 and again at 22, when she attempted to hire a hitman to kill her.[14] When she was 24, she experienced a nervous breakdown and was admitted for 72 hours to UCLA Medical Center's psychiatric ward.[14] Two years later, after adopting her first child, Jolie found stability in her life, later stating, "I knew once I committed to Maddox, I would never be self-destructive again."[23]
Jolie has had a lifelong dysfunctional relationship with her father, which began when Voight left the family when his daughter was less than a year old.[24] She has said that from then on their time together was sporadic and usually carried out in front of the press.[25] They reconciled when they appeared together in Lara Croft: Tomb Raider (2001), but their relationship again deteriorated.[11] Jolie petitioned the court to legally remove her surname, Voight, in favor of her middle name, which she had long used as a stage name; the name change was granted on September 12, 2002.[26] Voight then went public with their estrangement during an appearance on Access Hollywood, in which he claimed Jolie had "serious mental problems."[27] At that point, her mother and brother also broke off contact with him.[28] They did not speak for six and a half years[29] but began rebuilding their relationship in the wake of Bertrand's death from ovarian cancer on January 27, 2007[28][30] before going public with their reconciliation three years later.[28]

Career
Early work (1991–1997)
Jolie committed to acting professionally at the age of 16, but initially found it difficult to pass auditions, often being told that her demeanor was "too dark."[14] She appeared in five of her brother's student films, made while he attended the USC School of Cinema-Television, as well as in several music videos, namely Lenny Kravitz's "Stand by My Woman" (1991), Antonello Venditti's "Alta Marea" (1991), The Lemonheads's "It's About Time" (1993), and Meat Loaf's "Rock and Roll Dreams Come Through" (1993). She began to learn from her father, as she noticed his method of observing people to become like them. Their relationship during this time was less strained, with Jolie realizing that they were both "drama queens."[13]
Jolie began her professional film career in 1993, when she played her first leading role in the direct-to-video science-fiction sequel Cyborg 2, as a near-human robot designed for corporate espionage and assassination. She was so disappointed with the film that she did not audition again for a year.[14] Following a supporting role in the independent film Without Evidence (1995), she starred in her first Hollywood picture, Hackers (1995). The New York Times critic Janet Maslin wrote that Angelina's character Kate "stands out. That's because she scowls even more sourly than [her co-stars] and is that rare female hacker who sits intently at her keyboard in a see-through top."[31] Hackers failed to make a profit at the box office, but developed a cult following after its video release.[32]
Upcoming projects
Jolie's next project is a film adaptation of the novel Without Blood by Alessandro Baricco, which she directed, wrote, and produced. It stars Salma Hayek and Demián Bichir.[116] She is set to star in Pablo Larraín's biographical film about opera singer Maria Callas, titled Maria.[117] She is attached to produce and star in the thriller film The Kept, an adaptation of the James Scott novel.[118]
