Angelina is Her Name, Glamour is Her Game

The word jolie is French for pretty, and it goes without saying that Angelina Jolie is one of the most beautiful women in the world. She was born in Los Angeles on June 4, 1975 to actors Jon Voight and Marcheline Bertrand. Clearly, she was destined to be an actress, as well. However, Jolie has once said that watching movies at a young age made her want to become an actress, it wasn't her parents' influence. At age 11, she began attending the Lee Strasberg Theatre Institute in LA, and later Beverly Hills High School. Believe it or not, she used to get teased for her looks because she was so thin, wore glasses, and had braces. Eat crow people.

Anyway, Jolie went on to have a flourishing career as a movie actress with starring roles in films such as Gia, The Bone Collector, Girl, Interrupted, Gone in 60 Seconds, and the Lara Croft series. She also garnered three Golden Globes, two Screen Actors Guild Awards, and an Academy Award.

Outside of Hollywood, Angelina has also made quite the name for herself in the world of philanthropy. She first became interested in humanitarian work after filming Tomb Raider in the poverty-stricken Cambodia. Ever since, she and her partner Brad Pitt have gone around the world adopting children, doing charity work, and generally making the world a better place. She currently has four children (Maddox, Zahara, Shiloh, and Pax Thien), and twins on the way. As a result of her high-profile relationship with Brad Pitt, Angelina has been hounded by the media. Poor woman, she literally has to look presentable at every minute of the day. Well, at least she's doing a good job at it.

Here she is carrying little Zahara. She's wearing an all black outfit, with an elegant white Valentino handbag.

With her flawless bone structure, nobody wears a pair of shades quite as well as Angelina Jolie. Here she is sporting a pair of Tom Ford Whitney sunglasses.

Although she's naturally stunning and gorgeous, when Angelina isn't off fighting world hunger and strife, she cleans up really well for a red carpet. She looked absolutely radiant arm-in-arm with Brad Pitt at The Cannes Film Festival 2008 in a green Max Azria gown. The cut of this dress did more than flatter her figure, as she is pregnant with twins. In my opinion, she won Best Dressed at this entire event.
