Angelina Jolie

Ever since my first steps, the world has been a blend of bright lights, deep stories, and passionate causes. I was born in Los Angeles, California, into a family already immersed in the spotlight of Hollywood. With a legendary actor as a father, Jon Voight, the allure of the silver screen was never far from my reach.

🎬 Actor and Filmmaker: My career in film started at a young age, but my breakout role in Girl, Interrupted earned me an Academy Award and opened doors to even more diverse roles. From the enigmatic Lara Croft in Tomb Raider to the complex Maleficent, I’ve had the pleasure of exploring characters that push boundaries and challenge perceptions.

🌍 Humanitarian Efforts: Beyond Hollywood, my heart beats for humanitarian work. As a UNHCR Goodwill Ambassador and later a Special Envoy, I've dedicated a significant part of my life to advocating for refugees and human rights. It’s been an honor to travel to conflict zones, listen to the stories of those who have lost so much, and strive to bring about change.

🎬 Director and Producer: The transition to directing and producing has allowed me to tell stories that resonate deeply with me. Films like In the Land of Blood and Honey and First They Killed My Father reflect my commitment to spotlighting important social issues and untold narratives.

💪 Advocate for Health: My personal health journey, particularly my decision to undergo preventative surgeries for breast and ovarian cancer, has been a significant part of my life. By sharing my story, I hope to empower other women to take control of their health and make informed choices.

🔗 Legacy: My journey has been one of constant evolution—seeking to inspire, advocate, and create. Whether through the arts or activism, my mission has always been to make a difference, big or small, in the lives of others.
