Angelina Jolie: Actress, Humanitarian, and Philanthropist
Angelina Jolie: Actress and Humanitarian
I admire people for what they do, and the works and actions that Angelina Jolie has done during her life have led me to admire her. Angelina Jolie is an American actress, director, writer, producer, humanitarian, and philanthropist.
Angelina started her career as a model at age 16. But then, after her studies at the Academy of Acting, she appeared in several films such as The Bone Collector, Gone in 60 Seconds, and Changeling. Although she rose to fame with her debut as a protagonist in Lara Croft: Tomb Raider, and Mr. & Mrs. Smith, where she also met her then-husband Brad Pitt. She has a great ability as an actress, and her beauty distinguishes her from all others.
But her most striking feature is that she has spent all her life, and is still devoted to humanitarian work. That not only makes her special but unique. I think she succeeds at this brilliantly.
Angelina Jolie’s Physical Appearance and Personality
Angie is taller and slimmer than me; she looks quite exotic. She is gorgeous; her hands are long and elegant. Her nose is short, and her lips are thick. She has thin, black hair. However, her natural hair is blonde, but since she was young, she dyed her blond hair black, and in my opinion, I think that it looks more beautiful on her because it highlights her amazing and cheerful big blue eyes. She is an intelligent and strong woman. Angie is also a very patient, understanding sort of person, which makes her a good listener to people with needs. She lives her life without prejudice and without thinking about what others will say.
Angelina Jolie’s Career Highlights
In the 1990s, Angelina Jolie became a popular actress. She gave a star-making performance in the 1998 television film Gia, based on the short, tragic life of model Gia Marie Carangi, which won her a Golden Globe Award for Best Actress.
Another great dramatic role in Girl, Interrupted brought Angie her first Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress. She has continued to take on a variety of interesting roles, such as an adventurer in the Lara Croft films.
Angelina Jolie’s Humanitarian Work and Family
At first, she appears to be like any other actress, but her actions differentiate her from the others. She is an example of how an ugly duckling can become a swan. What I admire most about her is that when she was young, she fell into drugs but devoted all her time to people in need, and due to that, she could recover. She adopted two orphaned babies, one Vietnamese and one African girl. She was a single mother for a long time until she met Brad Pitt and had several children. Now they have six beautiful children. She is a very special person to me; I think she is a role model. I also, in the future, will follow in these footsteps. She, as a human, made mistakes; she is not perfect, but she is not her mistakes.
