Angelina Jolie ( /d?o?’li:/ joh-LEE, born Angelina Jolie Voight; June 4, 1975) is an American actress and director. She reinforced her reputation as a leading action star with Mr. & Mrs. Smith (2005) and Wanted (2008)–her biggest non-animated commercial successes to date–and received further critical acclaim for her performances in the dramas A Mighty Heart (2007) and Changeling (2008), which earned her a nomination for an Academy Award for Best Actress. She is the sister of actor James Haven, niece of singer-songwriter Chip Taylor, and goddaughter of actors Jacqueline Bisset and Maximilian Schell. As a child, Jolie regularly saw movies with her mother and later explained that this had inspired her interest in acting; she had not been influenced by her father. 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. During this period, she wore black clothing, experimented with knife play, and went out moshing with her live-in boyfriend. in July 2002, Jolie–who had long used her middle name as a stage name to establish her own identity as an actress–filed a request to legally drop Voight as her surname, which was granted on September 12, 2002.
