They looked out of place because they were so beautiful. They looked like they were airbrushed when they were walking. I went up to Brad and asked if he needed help and he said, ‘No thanks.’ I was looking at him but I don’t really remember it – it was like a dream. [...] They were very attentive with their kids. Brad was rubbing Zahara’s back and Angelina was comforting Shiloh when she got a little upset. It was sweet,”
Famous for her from her unlikely love affair with Jennifer Anniston’s ex husband Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie proves that she does everything to follow her heart’s desire. Her love for Brad has resulted to three kids – two of them twins. But before this happened, she has already adopted four different kids coming from different parts of Africa and Asia to which the latest came from Thailand. She has also fought for some humanitarian causes all throughout the world. She is also a Goodwill Ambassador for the United Nations Refugee Agency. Angelina’s relationship with Brad Pitt and seven children has attracted a lot of massive worldwide attention.
She was born in June 4, 1975 in Los Angeles, California to parents Jon Voight and Marcheline Bertrand. Apparently, her parents got separated. She was entirely raised by her mother and moved in to New York. Unlike what most news said, it was her mother who imprinted a big influence to her interest in acting. She used to go to a movies and plays with her mom back then. She later on enrolled in Lee Strasberg Theatre Institute where she conducted several stage productions. Fate seemed to turn Angelina down. She quit school and started living like a punk with her boyfriend at that time. After several ups and downs in her childhood life, she finally decided to go back and graduate high school. she then reconciled with her father but claimed that she can never have a good personal relationship with him anymore.
Her early works in the biz include some modelling stints in Los Angeles, New York, and London. She was also seen at some of the music videos of artists such as MeatLoaf and Lenny Kravitz. Angelina Jolie has also done a few movies in the past but they were not well received by the movie critiques.
Her career had its breakthrough with her performance in the movie George Wallace for which she was nominated for Emmy Award and won the Globe Awards. She also starred in HBO’s Gia for which she played the role of 70’s model Gia Carangi. She has still done other movies but her final breakthrough in Hollywood came with the movie Girl, Interrupted where she won another third Golden Globe Award, a Screen Actors Guild Award, and finally an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress. One critique commented, “Jolie is excellent as the flamboyant, irresponsible girl who turns out to be far more instrumental than the doctors in Susanna’s rehabilitation.”
It was the movie Lara Croft: Tomb Raider which made her a superstar. She had to undergo an intensive training of Martial Arts in order to do her role. A follow up for this move was made although it was not as successful as the first one. Another of her action-packed movie is entitled Wanted with co-stars James McAvoy and Morgan Freeman which also become a hit. Her most recent movie so far is where she played the role of Christine Collins in the movie Changeling.
But Angelina Jolie’s most-controversial movie was done in 2005 with Mr. and Mrs. Smith. This movie paved way for the break-up of America’s sweethearts Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston. She has denied it a lot of times but later on admitted that they had accidentally fallen in-love. She is now living with him with their seven children.

Angelina Jolie is expecting a baby this summer with Brad Pitt, PEOPLE has confirmed. "Yes, I'm pregnant," Jolie told a charity aid worker in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic, Monday. The pregnancy has since been confirmed by representatives of both stars. This is the first biological child for Jolie, 30, who is already the mother of son Maddox, 4, whom she adopted from Cambodia, and daughter Zahara, 1, adopted from Ethiopia in July. Jolie, who has often spoken about expanding her family, added that she’d like to adopt again. In October she told PEOPLE: "There's something about making a choice, waking up and traveling somewhere and finding your family." She is currently in the Dominican Republic filming The Good Shepherd with Matt Damon. She is also working with Yele Haiti, a charity for the empowerment of Haitian citizens. Pitt, 42, who recently took steps to adopt Maddox and Zahara, including changing their names to Jolie-Pitt, has talked of wanting a family for years. He has no children from his 4-year marriage to Jennifer Aniston.
In July, Pitt accompanied Jolie to Ethiopia, where she completed the adoption process for Zahara. More recently, the couple have been spotted all over the globe, including Kenya, England, Ethiopia, Canada, Tokyo and Pakistan, where they spent Thanksgiving. Jolie has never been happier, say friends. "This is a woman who values her relationships with her children more than anything," a source tells PEOPLE. "Now she is creating a family in the context of an adult relationship." For more on this story, pick up the new issue of PEOPLE, on newsstands Friday.

She is one of the most photographed women in the world - and now one of the most tattooed.
After attending the world premiere of her latest movie, Angelina Jolie revealed her latest set of body art - geographical map coordinates accurately detailing the countries of birth of each member of her "rainbow family".
Walking down the red carpet in Cannes to promote her movie, A Mighty Heart, the 31-year-old actress kept the new tattoos hidden, using her boyfriend, Brad Pitt, as a human shield.

But as the couple made their way down the festival's famous Croisette in a chauffeur-driven car afterwards, the four-part scribing on her left shoulder was plainly visible.
Each line, it has emerged, represents the very international map coordinates detailing where their four children, three of which were adopted, were born.
From the top down, and from left to right, is the longitudinal and latitudinal location of Cambodia, where the Oscar-winning actress' eldest son, Maddox, five, was born.
Next are the coordinates pertaining to Ethiopia, the country from which Miss Jolie plucked two-year-old Zahara.

Angelina's tattoos have special meaning for her
Third on the list is Namibia, where the Tomb Raider star gave birth to her ten-month-old biological daughter, Shiloh, whose name in Hebrew means "the peaceful one".
Last but not least is a reference to the latest addition to the couple's rainbow family - Pax Thien, who is Vietnamese by origin.
The three-year-old boy was taken from an orphanage in March, amid claims that the Hollywood couple had unfairly fast-tracked the adoption process.
Interestingly, beneath her latest ink inscriptions, Miss Jolie appeared to be sporting some heavy bruising - a common side effect of tattooing.
"Most of Angelina's tattoos are pretty discreet but these map coordinates really stand out," said a festival onlooker. "When she made her way up the red carpet, she kept her arm hidden behind Brad, and looked really elegant in a demure black dress and peep toe heels.

"But when she unearthed them later in the night, she really did look like a bit of a bruiser. While the significance of these tattoos is undoubtedly poignant, this probably wasn't the look she had in mind when she got the coordinates done."
The latest tattoo is understood to be Miss Jolie's 13th to date.
She already has a discreet M on the palm of her hand - a tribute to her mother, Marcheline Bertrand, who died earlier this year.
On top of this, she has a Buddhist Pali prayer written in the Khmer script for Maddox as well as a Tennessee Williams quote, "A prayer for the wild at heart kept in cages".
Angelina Jolie's new tattoos have been inscribed in the same spot where a tribute to her ex-husband Billy Bob Thronton once lay.
His name was tattooed onto her left arm along with a Chinese dragon - the remnants of which are still faintly visible even after laser removal surgery.
She said at the time of the laser treatment: "I'll never be stupid enough to have a man's name tattooed on me again."
