Angelina Jolie

As the daughter of two Hollywood actors, Angelina Jolie grew up knowing almost everything about being famous.Before following her parents’ footsteps into the industry, the actress lived a pretty normal life in Los Angeles, California. Although she had the advantage of having well-known parents, the start of Jolie’s career was plagued with rejections. The actress often failed to land roles because of her seemingly dark demeanor.

She spent the first few years of her career primarily acting in her brother’s film, which he made while pursuing a film degree. She also appeared in a few music videos before nabbing her breakthrough role in the HBO movie Gia. From that point on, Jolie’s career has only progressed on an upward trajectory. Today, the actress is also known for activism and staunch support for human and children’s rights all over the world. It’s safe to say that Angelia Jolie is now a living legend.
