Angelina Jolie in Life or Something Like It (2002)
ANGELINA JOLIE (Lanie Kerrigan) first came to prominence for her poignant Golden Globe Award-winning role as supermodel Gia Carangi in the HBO film Gia. Having earned an Oscar® (Best Supporting Actress 1999), her third consecutive Golden Globe and a Screen Actors Guild Award® for her moving performance as Lisa Rowe in Girl, Interrupted, Jolie has become one of the most sought-after actresses in the entertainment industry. Most recently, Jolie starred as cult video game heroine Lara Croft in Simon West's blockbuster adventure Lara Croft: Tomb Raider and Michael Cristofer's Original Sin, starring alongside Antonio Banderas. She will next star in Martin Campbell's Beyond Borders for Mandalay Pictures.
A member of the famed MET Theatre Ensemble Workshop, Jolie trained at the Lee Strasberg Institute and also studied with Jan Tarrant in New York and Silvana Gallardo in Los Angeles. Her early films include Hackers and Foxfire. Jolie was seen onscreen in two box-office hits; the dramatic thriller The Bone Collector opposite Denzel Washington for director Phillip Noyce, and Gone in 60 Seconds starring Nicolas Cage. Her other feature film credits include Pushing Tin, Playing By Heart, and Playing God.
For her television work, in addition to garnering the Golden Globe for Gia, Jolie received a Screen Actors Guild Award and an Emmy® nomination. She won the Golden Globe and was nominated for Emmy and CableACE Awards for her role as Cornelia Wallace, the second wife of the controversial Alabama governor, in John Frankenheimer's HBO film George Wallace, starring Gary Sinise. She also starred in the Hallmark Hall of Fame mini-series True Women (based on Janice Woods Windle's best selling historical novel) and in music videos for the Rolling Stones ("Has Anybody Seen My Baby"), Meat Loaf ("Rock 'n Roll Dreams Come True") and Lenny Kravitz ("Stand By My Woman").
