Angelina Jolie: Meet Billy Bob Thornton’s Fifth Ex-Wife
Born Angelina Jolie Voight on June 4, 1975, Angelina Jolie DCMG is an American actress, producer, and humanitarian. She has won numerous honors, including three Golden Globe Awards and an Academy Award, and has frequently been named Hollywood’s highest-paid actress.
She was born at Cedars-Sinai Hospital in Los Angeles, California, and has a brother named James Haven. Her parents are actors Jon Voight and Marcheline Bertrand. Maximilian Schell and Jacqueline Bisset, both actors, are her godparents.
While her mother was of French-Canadian ancestry, Angelina’s father’s family had German and Slovak ancestry. She has also stated that she has some Indigenous (Iroquois) ancestry.
Angelina and her brother moved in with their mother after their parents divorced in 1976, who gave up her acting career to concentrate on raising the two of them. Despite being raised a Catholic, Angelina was not obligated to go to church.
Despite having a brief role in Voight’s Lookin’ to Get Out (1982) when she was seven, her passion in acting was more sparked by the movies she watched with her mother than by her father’s great career.
Her mother and her lover, the director Bill Day, moved the family to Palisades, New York when she was six years old, but they eventually moved back to Los Angeles. Angelina made the decision to pursue acting at this time and enrolled at the Lee Strasberg Theatre Institute.
