Angelina Jolie Pictures

Sexy, smart and a wild hair across her ass. Angelina Jolie is perhaps one of Hollywood's hottest actresses. She is set to appear in one of 2001's most anticipated movies, Tomb Raider. The casting could not have been more perfect for the role of Lara Croft.

Growing up in Los Angeles, Angelina Jolie was no stranger to the film industry, being the daughter of Academy Award-winning actor Jon Voight. She later trained and performed at the Lee Strasberg Theatre Institute, where she was seen in several stage productions.

Angelina Jolie worked as a professional model in London, New York and Los Angeles, and has also appeared in music videos for such artists as Loaf, Meat, Lenny Kravitz, Antonello Venditti and The Lemonheads. In addition, she has acted in five student films for the USC School of Cinema, all directed by her brother, 'James Haven'.
