Credit: Frank Connor/Disney When it comes to show business, Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt are not keen on keeping it in the family. "Neither one of us want our children to be actors, Brad and I," she told the Daily Mail of her six kids. Jolie is the daughter of Oscar-winning actor Jon Voight, but has long distanced herself from her father and his career. The two have had a rocky relationship, publicly denouncing one another, before reconciling following the 2007 death of Jolie's mother, Marcheline Bertrand.

PHOTOS: Angie's Hollywood transformation However, when it came time to cast a youngster to play little Aurora in Jolie's new film Maleficent, the Oscar winner, 38, didn't have much of a choice, with daughter Vivienne, 5, nabbing the role. "I really couldn't ask another 4 and 5 year old to do it because kids would get scared," she said of her villain's spooky, horned costume. "I only put her in the film because the other children her age would be scared of me because I looked quite scary in [costume]. In the scene, little Aurora has to really want to be near me and be loving to me, and I had to be quite mean. So Vivienne and I practiced it a few times, and I was shocked by how well she did." Angelina Jolie biography | birthday, trivia | American Actor | Who2 Angelina Jolie Biography Name at birth: Angelina Jolie Voight Oscar-winning actress Angelina Jolie is known as much for her offscreen romances, adoptions and political activism as for her movie roles.

Angelina Jolie first made a small splash in 1998, playing doomed model Gia Marie Carangi in the HBO movie Gia. She was a hit as the love interest in the offbeat air-traffic-controller drama Pushing Tin (1999, with John Cusack ), but it was winning an Oscar for her supporting role as a troubled mental patient in the 1999 Winona Ryder film Girl, Interrupted that made her a big-time movie star. Jolie sealed her international fame (and box office clout) by playing the video game heroine Lara Croft in Tomb Raider (2001) and Tomb Raider: Cradle of Life (2003). Jolie’s plush-lipped, brooding Gothic presence (and ample tattoos) made her a hit with the younger generation, and her wild-life offscreen antics made her a hit with the tabloids, especially while she was married to her Pushing Tin co-star, Billy Bob Thornton from 2000 until their divorce in 2003. Jolie has since become famous 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), a daughter born in Ethiopia, Zahara (in 2005), and a boy from Vietnam, Pax Thien (in 2007). She and Brad Pitt starred in the action film Mr. & Mrs. Smith in 2005, but whatever excitement the movie generated was overshadowed by the real-life drama of Pitt leaving wife Jennifer Aniston to move in with Jolie. The excessive tabloid attention didn’t stop Jolie from making movies: she made a special appearance in the CGI fantasy Beowulf (2007), lent her voice (as the tigress) in Kung Fu Panda (2008), played an action hero in Wanted (2008), turned in another Oscar-nominated performance in Clint Eastwood ‘s Changeling (2008) and starred in the 2010 spy thriller Salt.

In 2011 she took another step, writing and directing the Bosnian war drama In the Land of Blood and Honey, before starring as a Disney witch in Maleficent (2014) and, with husband Brad Pitt, in the troubled-marriage drama By The Sea (2015). Extra credit Angelina Jolie is the daughter of Jon Voight, who won a best actor Oscar for the 1978 movie Coming Home (the same movie for which Jane Fonda won best actress). Her mother Marcheline Bertrand, who was divorced from Voigt and died in 2007, was also an actress… Angelina Jolie played Cornelia Wallace, wife to Alabama governor George Wallace , in the 1997 TV movie George Wallace… Angelina Jolie’s first biological child with Brad Pitt, a daughter named Shiloh Nouvel Jolie-Pitt , was born in 2006 at a resort in Namibia. They also have a son and daughter, Knox and Vivienne , born on 12 July 2008 in Nice, France… The birth order of Jolie’s children is: Maddox (b.

2001), Pax (b. 2003), Zahara (b. 2005), Shiloh (b. 2006), and the twins Knox and Vivienne (b. 2008)… After years of domestic partnership, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie finally married at Chateau Miraval in Le Val, France on August 23, 2014. However, Jolie filed for divorce in September of 2016, citing “irreconcilable differences.” Angelina Jolie's Father Jon Voight Wants Daughter To Direct Him In A Movie : Entertainment : Design & Trend Angelina Jolie's Father Jon Voight Wants Daughter To Direct Him In A Movie Peter Black , Design & Trend Staff Writer Feb, 27, 2015, 03:38 PM Close (Photo : Getty Images - Jason Kirk) Angelina Jolie and Jon Voight in 2001 Angelina Jolie's estranged dad Jon Voight is still, after all these years, convinced that his daughter might put him in one of her movies.

"Watching her film ("Unbroken"), I was overwhelmed by her God-given gift as a director," the 76-year-old actor, who wasn't invited to Jolie and Brad Pitt's August wedding, told Closer magazine (via the Daily Mail ). "Maybe if I drop the hint loudly enough, she'll say, 'Oh, I'll consider Jon Voight for one of my films.'" Voight likely won't be Jolie's first casting choice. The father-daughter duo have had a turbulent relationship, stemming from Voight's treatment of Jolie's mother Marcheline Bertrand, whom the "Midnight Cowboy" star verbally abused and cheated on. Jolie and Voight officially stopped speaking in 2002 after Voight publically stated that his daughter had "mental health problems." They reconciled, kind of, in 2012. Jolie's childhood nanny, Cis Rundle recently opened up about Voight, calling him "horrible." "I understand the turmoil because I saw it," Randle told Radar in September. "I know the actually hardcore truth about Jon...

He had a very twisted side, but he can't own it." Despite Voight's abuse, Marcheline would always come back to him, Randle revealed. "Marcheline, no matter what darkness he had, she would forgive him," she said. "She didn't have a mean bone in her body. She could forgive." Marcheline apparently even convinced Jolie to cast Voight, whose career was then on the fritz, in "Tomb Raider." "Angie cast him as her father in Tomb Raider," Rundle said. "She had the power to do that. And it resurrected his career. Marcheline wanted her to do it." Rundle added of Jolie and Voight's current relationship, "They may never get over the rift between them. It's not that complicated.

She just knows who he is and she doesn't trust him."

Off-screen, Jolie has become prominently involved in international charity projects, especially those involving refugees. She often appears on many "most beautiful women" lists, and she has a personal life that is avidly covered by the tabloid press. Jolie was born Angelina Jolie Voight in Los Angeles, California.

In her earliest years, Angelina began absorbing the acting craft from her actor parents, Jon Voight , an Oscar-winner, and Marcheline Bertrand , who had studied with Lee Strasberg . Her good looks may derive from her ancestry, which is German and Slovak on her father's side, and French-Canadian, Dutch, Polish, and remote Huron, on her mother's side. At age eleven, Angelina began studying at the Lee Strasberg Theatre Institute, where she was seen in several stage productions. She undertook some film studies at New York University and later joined the renowned Met Theatre Group in Los Angeles. At age 16, she took up a career in modeling and appeared in some music videos. In the mid-1990s, Jolie appeared in various small films where she got good notices, including Hackers (1995) and Foxfire (1996). Her critical acclaim increased when she played strong roles in the made-for-TV movies True Women (1997), and in George Wallace (1997) which won her a Golden Globe Award and an Emmy nomination.

Jolie's acclaim increased even further when she played the lead role in the HBO production Gia (1998). This was the true life story of supermodel Gia Carangi , a sensitive wild child who was both brazen and needy and who had a difficult time handling professional success and the deaths of people who were close to her. Carangi became involved with drugs and because of her needle-using habits she became, at the tender age of 26, one of the first celebrities to die of AIDS. Jolie's performance in Gia (1998) again garnered a Golden Globe Award and another Emmy nomination, and she additionally earned a SAG Award. Angelina got a major break in 1999 when she won a leading role in the successful feature The Bone Collector (1999), starring alongside Denzel Washington . In that same year, Jolie gave a tour de force performance in Girl, Interrupted (1999) playing opposite Winona Ryder . The movie was a true story of women who spent time in a psychiatric hospital.

Jolie's role was reminiscent of Jack Nicholson 's character in One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest (1975), the role which won Nicholson his first Oscar. Unlike "Cuckoo", "Girl" was a small film that received mixed reviews and barely made money at the box office. But when it came time to give out awards, Jolie won the triple crown -- "Girl" propelled her to win the Golden Globe Award, the SAG Award and the Academy Award for best leading actress in a supporting role. With her new-found prominence, Jolie began to get in-depth attention from the press. Numerous aspects of her controversial personal life became news. At her wedding to her Hackers (1995) co-star Jonny Lee Miller , she had displayed her husband's name on the back of her shirt painted in her own blood. Jolie and Miller divorced, and in 2000, she married her Pushing Tin (1999) co-star Billy Bob Thornton . Jolie had become the fifth wife of a man twenty years her senior. During her marriage to Thornton, the spouses each wore a vial of the other's blood around their necks.

That marriage came apart in 2002 and ended in divorce. In addition, Jolie was estranged from her famous father, Jon Voight . In 2000, Jolie was asked to star in Lara Croft: Tomb Raider (2001). At first, she expressed disinterest, but then decided that the required training for the athletic role was intriguing. The Croft character was drawn from a popular video game. Lara Croft was a female cross between Indiana Jones and James Bond. When the film was released, critics were unimpressed with the final product, but critical acclaim wasn't the point of the movie. The public paid $275 million for theater tickets to see a buffed up Jolie portray the adventuresome Lara Croft. Jolie's father Jon Voight appeared in "Croft", and during filming there was a brief rapprochement between father and daughter. One of the Croft movie's filming locations was Cambodia. While there, Jolie witnessed the natural beauty, culture and poverty of that country. She considered this an eye opening experience, and so began the humanitarian chapter of her life.

Jolie began visiting refugee camps around the world and came to be formally appointed as a Goodwill Ambassador for the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR). Some of her experiences were written and published in her popular book "Notes from My Travels" whose profits go to UNHCR. Jolie has stated that she now plans to spend most of her time in humanitarian efforts, to be financed by her actress salary. She devotes one third of her income to savings, one third to living expenses and one third to charity. In 2002, Angelina adopted a Cambodian refugee boy named Maddox, and in 2005, adopted an Ethiopian refugee girl named Zahara. Jolie's dramatic feature film Beyond Borders (2003) parallels some of her real life humanitarian experiences although, despite the inclusion of a romance between two westerners, many of the movie's images were too depressingly realistic -- the film was not popular among critics or at the box office. In 2004, Jolie began filming Mr. & Mrs. Smith (2005) with co-star Brad Pitt . The film became a major box office success.

There were rumors that Pitt and Jolie had an affair while filming "Smith". Jolie insisted that because her mother had been hurt by adultery, she herself could never participate in an affair with a married man, therefore there had been no affair with Pitt at that time. Nonetheless, Pitt separated from his wife Jennifer Aniston in January 2005 and, in the months that followed, he was frequently seen in public with Jolie, apparently as a couple. Pitt's divorce was finalized later in 2005. Jolie and Pitt announced in early 2006 that they would have a child together, and Jolie gave birth to daughter Shiloh that May. They also adopted a three-year-old Vietnamese boy named Pax. The couple, who married in 2014, continue to pursue movie and humanitarian projects, and now have a total of six children. - IMDb Mini Biography By: Roger Burns <rogerburns@pobox.com> Spouse (3) Niece of Chip Taylor .

Her doctors advised her that that gene, along with her family history of breast cancer (including her mother's death at age 56) made it much more likely that she would have developed breast cancer (the medical estimate was that she had an 87% risk of breast cancer), so she elected to have the surgery as a preventative measure.

The roles that I choose are my therapy. Because I am a bad girl, people always automatically think that I am a bad girl. Or that I carry a dark secret with me or that I'm obsessed with death. The truth is that I am probably the least morbid person one can meet. If I think more about death than some other people, it is probably because I love life more than they do. You're young, you're drunk, you're in bed, you have knives; shit happens. And my dad, you're a great actor but you're a better father. [on if she ever caught her husband Billy Bob Thornton cheating] I've told Billy if I ever caught him cheating, I wouldn't kill him because I love his children and they need a dad.

But I would beat him up. I know where all of his sports injuries are. And I'd beat her, too! I'll make it real simple, I'm a 36-C. In the game, she's a double-D. In the movie [ Lara Croft: Tomb Raider (2001)], she's a D. We split the difference... [Lara] is much more athletic, and she has smaller breasts, but she's still Lara Croft, so there. I seem to be getting a lot of things pushed my way that are strong women. It's like people see Hackers (1995) and they send me offers to play tough women with guns, the kind who wear no bra and a little tank top. I'd like to play strong women who are also very feminine. I'd like to believe that the people that have supported me in my work or identified with me in films, the people that feel they know me, they do and they don't have misconceptions - they understand. I believe that. [on her split from husband Billy Bob Thornton ] I'm angry. I'm sad. It's a very difficult and sad time.

It was a real deep connection, a deep marriage, so it's not that simple to say this or that one thing caused the problems. It's clear to me that our priorities shifted overnight. He's focused on his music and career. I'm focused on my baby. It comes down to what's important to you. [People magazine - July 8, 1996] There's something about death that is comforting. The thought that you could die tomorrow frees you to appreciate life now. [on playing Olympias in Alexander (2004)] I felt that if I lived at that time, with the dangers she had and the threats she had and the lack of power she had as a woman, I would not have been that different from her. And I thought I also just saw her as a mother who really would push her son at a time that if he didn't get the throne, he didn't acquire a certain kind of strength and ability and greatness, he would probably just die or be killed or be exiled.

So out of concern, out of love for your own, just to come from this place that seems very much like the horrible mafia father, but in fact it was for his own survival that she was focused on, which made it very easy for me to focus on thinking of my own son and what he had to do to protect himself from bad things that could hurt him. If you don't get out of the box you've been raised in, you won't understand how much bigger the world is. [on the superficiality of the industry] We are setting an example of what we think is beautiful and you really want to put that much make up on me? You might never find out that you are useful for all the right reasons - and not all those stupid things that people tell you you're useful for. [CNN International Edition - January 29, 2005] My role as goodwill ambassador has made my work as a film star relatively dull. I can't find anything that interests me enough to go back to work. I'm simply not excited about anything. I'm not excited about going to a film set.

[on what she does with the money she makes each year] Save one-third, live on one-third and give away one-third. If I make a fool of myself, who cares? I'm not frightened by anyone's perception of me. If I think more about death than some other people, it is probably because I love life more than they do. Love one person, take care of them until you die. You know, raise kids. Have a good life. Be a good friend. And try to be completely who you are. And figure out what you personally love. And like go after it with everything you've got no matter how much it takes. [Regarding the possibility of marriage with her current beau and father of her child, Brad Pitt ] We have both been married before so it's not marriage that necessarily kept some people together. [2002] I'm drawn to kids that are already born. I think some people are meant to do certain things, and I believe I'm meant to find my children in the world somewhere and not necessarily have them genetically. [interview with Ann Curry ] I'm in a strange, I suppose, place in my life.

I think that happens when you lose a parent, where you drop into a different kind of serious. And yet, at the same time, you want to laugh and enjoy as much as possible every day. I'm hanging on to my family really tight at this moment, and, because of that, trying to be as good a woman as I can be in my life. Dammit, you got me crying. It's alright. It's a part of life... I lost my mom. It's a natural thing for a child to lose a parent. I lost my mom too young, but it happened. And I'm happy she's out of pain, because I love her and she's my friend. Not many people know this about me but I'm a natural blonde. My hair went from light blonde naturally to a darker kind of blonde. My mother dyed my hair dark when I was a child as I loved the look then. So I'm basically a natural blonde. [on making action movies] I think there's always going to be that side of me. [ Harrison Ford ] is doing it, and he's doing it well, (so) it looks like I've got some more time.

To be intimate with a married man, when my own father cheated on my mother, is not something I could forgive. I could not look at myself in the morning, if I did that. My natural color is dark blonde. But when I was four or five, my mother dyed my hair dark brown, and she decided to keep it that way. And I stuck with that. [on Cambodia and her humanitarian work] One of the first camps I went to had 400,000 people. It was a sea of human misery. In Sierra Leone, I saw tens of thousands with their arms and legs cut off [by rebels], orphaned children. I felt completely overwhelmed. I cried constantly. I felt guilty for everything that I had. Then I realized I wasn't doing these people any favors by crying. I kept getting angry at the injustices until I couldn't think straight. I took a deep breath and focused on how I could help. I discovered that I was useful as a person. When I met suffering people, it put my life into perspective. It slammed me into a bigger picture of the world. I was actually quite a cool kid. I was not tough. I was certainly independent and bold. I was never teased.

I never had any trouble from anybody... I was never satisfied. I had trouble sleeping. I didn't really fit. I always feel that I'm searching for something deeper, something more... You want to meet other people that challenge you with ideas or with power or with passion. I wanted to live very fully. I wanted to live many lives and explore many things. [on Brad Pitt ] (He made me) a better person. I've learned so much from him, as you do when you come together with another person. You both make each other better. You both learn about the best of each other, and recognize the things where you're failing, or where you need to step up. When it's a great partnership, you really are patient with each other. I grew up in front of everybody, really. The big years of exploration. There was a certain madness I was going through. I learned a lot about myself. People tend to sum up times in your life and simplify. I would say there's a way of being bold when you're young that seems very brave... What's perceived as tough is a very funny thing.

I think to be a parent is one of the scariest, boldest things to do, as opposed to, um, getting a tattoo... Much more than jumping into a pool when you're 20. There's certainly a side of me that isn't completely... sane. Or completely 'even' all the time. We all have our dark sides. When I first read the script for Changeling (2008), I couldn't put it down but then I said 'no' immediately. I didn't want to go into this project because it was too upsetting. But then afterwards I couldn't stop talking about her. I found myself sitting with people wanting them to know about this extraordinary woman and you wouldn't believe what happened to her, and what these people did to her in this time in our history. In the end, it became a story about democracy in action, about justice... even suffering a great loss and fighting through it and making a change for the future for other people, and questioning the government and the police. So, I found it very inspiring and really wanted people to know about her and felt like it was an extra piece of justice for her.

[on her friendship with Gwen Stefani and their children spending time together] All of the kids are very close in age. They've attended each other's birthday parties and gotten together several times at each other's homes. Somehow Gwen and I keep ending up pregnant at the exact same time. It was nice for me to play with other girls; I don't really have girlfriends in movies, if you've noticed. Well, I have a few girlfriends, I just... I stay at home a lot. I'm just not very social. I don't do a lot with them, and I'm very homebound. I'll talk to my family, I talk to Brad... But I don't know, I don't have a lot of friends I talk to. He is really the only person I talk to. [2012] I think I'm going to have to give up the acting as the kids hit the teenage years, anyway, too much to manage at home. I have enjoyed being an actress. I am so grateful to the job and I have had great experiences and I have even be able to tell stories and be a part of stories that mattered and I have done things for fun, but...

I will do some films and I am so fortunate to have the job, it's a really lucky profession to be a part of and I enjoy it. But if it went away tomorrow I would be very happy to be home with the children. I wake up in the morning as a mum and I turn on the news like everybody else and I see what's happening and I want to be part of the world in a positive way. The strong preying upon the weak and the weak, upon achieving strength, extracting retribution: this is the nature of so many of the world's conflicts. The role of aggressor and victim may alternate over time, the tools of destruction may become more sophisticated, but little else changes. [on her double mastectomy, 2013] I made a strong choice that in no way diminishes my femininity. [on accepting the title role in Maleficent (2014)] The artist in me felt that it was time to do something I wasn't comfortable with. I was actually a bit nervous to take her on. I don't have a big theatre voice. I don't do things that are kind of comedic, and I'm a fairy.

But it's great to jump into things you're not sure of. [on the unplanned casting of her five-year-old daughter Vivienne as the young Princess Aurora] The first day was the scene where the princess had to catch the butterfly. So I was actually holding the ball [with the butterfly] on the end! bouncing up and down and dancing, trying to make her laugh. And Daddy was on the edge of the digital cliff she had to jump off, making faces while her brothers and sisters were egging her on. I was actually shocked that she was doing so well. We never wanted our kids to be actors. But we also wanted them to be around film and part of Mommy and Daddy's life and not be kept from it either. If and when they decide to be actors when they are older, I would ask that acting not be the center of their lives, because I don't think it is healthy. It may sound cliché, but when you feel beautiful and strong on the inside, it shows on the outside. I don't want to be that person in the spotlight. I'm much more at home sitting with the sound guys and the grips, in my boots, working.

I think I connect to people who could be written off as wild or dark, or who are just full of fire and looking for a place to put that fire. It's an important lesson to learn, and it's something I did learn: you live on behalf of others and you're happier and you have purpose. And you have a great excuse to have all that fire. Oh God, I struggle with low self-esteem all the time! I think everyone does. I have so much wrong with me, it's unbelievable! [on Johnny Depp ] He's so funny and so fun to hang out with. He's just that friend you're so happy to come to work and do scenes with. Plus, he's such a brilliant actor. He's often thought of so much for his deep character work, but it really comes from an artist who is willing to try things. He's not just somebody who's doing these fun [movies]; he's a real experimental deeply-feeling artist, who gives a lot and is very gracious on set to everybody and to his fellow actors. He's just a pleasure. I want to say when I was little, like Maleficent (2014), I was told I was different.

And I felt out of place, too loud, too full of fire, never good at sitting still, never good at fitting in and then one day I realized something. Something I hope you all realize. Different is good! So, don't fit in. Don't sit still. Don't ever try to do less than you are. When somebody tells you you're different, smile and hold your head up high and be proud. And as your villain, I would also say - cause a little trouble. It's good for you. [on Amy Pascal 's remarks on her] Someone told me. There are certain things that bother me and certain things that don't. Personal attacks on me? I think I'm just so used to it. Honestly, my first instinct was that I was worried about Amy. I had someone call her and ask if she was O.K. Not because I'm a saint, but because I think we have to look at the bigger picture. She's got kids. I knew it was going to unravel for her. [on By the Sea (2015)] I wrote it before I ever had anything I'd written become a film, and I wrote with a great freedom of believing nobody would ever see it.

I wanted to understand grief; and I think because of my mother's passing and certain aspects of her life where she was very unfulfilled as an artist and as a woman - I wanted to meditate on that, and have the freedom to work thinking of film, not thinking of the audience, not thinking of what would be commercial, not thinking of how to answer everything but just to be in a place with these people. And so I picked three different couples that represented a different time: one who had yet to experience it, one couple who were sitting right in the middle of it and then the two older men who have come out the other end of it and understand it and so I just drove one couple up to a hotel and then wrote from the beginning to the end. [on In the Land of Blood and Honey (2011)] It was something I didn't trust out of my hands. So by default I ended up putting myself in as director.

[on working with her husband Brad Pitt on By the Sea (2015)] You write with what you know in your mind, so I wrote a little bit with us in my head - I'm a woman of Vanessa's age and this is a marriage and marriage is familiar - and I first showed it to Brad years ago, we talked about it and he was very supportive, but it was kind of that "funny, crazy one" that was just on my desk, and it was almost referred to as the one you'd never do - you know, "That would be a crazy idea!" - but at a certain point I think as artists we all get to that place where we want to do the crazy one, and we want to not feel safe and we want to remember what it is to just play and maybe we make a mess but we want to remember what it is to be free, and so I think we were feeling that and wanted to just go out and be together and work together and try something and succeed or fail, we wanted to do it together.

[on By the Sea (2015)] The 70s was such an extraordinary time for film and politics, and I was born in the 70s so I think you're always interested in when you were younger, and what your parents might have been like, and what that time was, and your reference point....but I found it a really compelling time for art and there was a certain freedom in films at that time and certain films of that time I think also discussed very heavy things. So, in a way, there wasn't a particular film that I was trying to copy, but there was a feeling that if I could just allow myself to remember those films and the time they took, and the nuance and the heaviness of the subject-matter....so, it was inspiring.
