Introduction AngelinaJolie, famous American actress, film director, and screenwriter, has already received an Academy Award, two Screen Actors Guild Awards, and three Golden Globe Awards, and was named Hollywood's highest-paid actress by Forbes in 2009 and 2011.

Jolie made her screen debut as a child alongside her father, Jon Voight, in Lookin' to Get Out (1982), but her film career began in earnest a decade later with the low-budget production Cyborg 2 (1993).

At the age of 14, Jolie dropped out of her acting classes and aspired to become a funeral director. She began working as a fashion model, modeling mainly in Los Angeles, New York, and London.

Jolie suffered episodes of suicidal depression throughout her teens and early twenties. Her career prospects began to improve after she won a Golden Globe Award for her performance in TNT's George Wallace (1997).

MOVIES Jolie was highly regarded for her acting abilities, her films to date had often not appealed to a wide audience, but Lara Croft: Tomb Raider (2001) made her an international superstar. An adaptation of the popular Tomb Raider videogame, Jolie was required to learn an English accent and undergo extensive martial arts training to play the title role of Lara Croft.

"Angelina Jolie was born to play Lara Croft but [director] Simon West makes her journey into a game of Frogger." The movie was an international success nonetheless, earning $275 million worldwide, and launched her global reputation as a female action star.

John and Jane Smith are a couple who have been married for 6 years and things appear to be normal. But it appears that things are changing--they are seeing a marriage counselor. And what neither of them know is that they are professional assassins.

However, they are both assigned by their employers to kill the same person. When they each try to take out the target, they get in each other's way and blow the job. Now they are told to go after the person who made them miss the target. And when they learn about each other, they try to take each other out.

Charity Angelina’s involvement with UNHCR (联合国难民署) began with a mission to Sierra Leone(塞拉利昂-非洲) , a small African country where has been devastated by years of brutal civil war. Seeing first hand the enormous challenges that refugees face was a life altering experience for Angelina, who decided to use her fame to aid their cause.

In 2001,Angelina appointed as a Goodwill Ambassador for the UNHCR . Some of her experiences were written and published in her popular book Notes from My Travels whose profits go to UNHCR.

As a UNHCR Goodwill Ambassador, Angelina uses her status as a superstar to generate media coverage about the plight of refugees and the conditions under which they live.

She has traveled widely to remote refugee camps and receiving centers in countries including Tanzania（ 坦桑尼亚）、Namibia（纳米比亚）、Cambodia(柬埔寨) 、 Pakistan（巴基斯坦）and so on.

Angelina and her husband Brad Pitt currently have biological kids Shiloh, five, and three-year-old twins Knox and Vivienne and adopted Maddox, 10, Pax, seven, and six-year-old girl Zahara.And now they want to adopt another child.

I have the most respect for her not only because she's a very beautiful , talented  person, but also because her work with refugees is not something to decorate herself .
