Jolie: Appearing
built 276 days ago
Jolie, which is actually her middle name, is a French word that means beautiful, and by the age of 16 she had grown into the name. She appeared in music videos by Meat Loaf and Lenny Kravitz, and at 17 she played a half-human in the abysmal Cyborg 2 with Elias Koteas. Her first semi-hit was Hackers with Matthew Lillard, and her first good reviews came for the 1998 HBO film Gia, a biography of doomed supermodel Gia Carangi.

Critical recognition of Jolie's acting talent first came in the television biopic George Wallace (1997), in which she played the wife of the title character. She received both a Golden Globe and an Emmy nomination. Her next role was in Gia (1997), an emotional TV biopic of Gia Carangi, a 1970s self-destructive, lesbian supermodel who died of AIDS.

Her emotional excitability is very strong and Jolie tends to be high-strung and impatient. Angelina Jolie knows what she wants to accomplish, she forges ahead and brooks no interference. Domineering and forceful, it is not easy for Angelina Jolie to back down gracefully when she is confronted.
In 2000, Jolie appeared in her first summer blockbuster, Gone In 60 Seconds, in which she played Sarah "Sway" Wayland, ex-girlfriend of car-thief Nicolas Cage. The role was small, and the Washington Post criticized that "all she does in this movie is stand around, cooling down, modeling those fleshy, pulsating muscle-tubes that nest so provocatively around her teeth."[30] She later explained that the film was a welcome relief after the heavy role of Lisa Rowe, and it became her highest grossing movie up until then, earning $237 million internationally.[3]
