At the age of 14, Angelina Jolie started working as a fashion model.
Finesse Model Management signed her and she modeled in both the United States and Europe, working mainly in Los Angeles, New York and London.
During that time, she also appeared in several music videos, including those of Meat Loaf ("Rock & Roll Dreams Come Through"), Antonello Venditti ("Alta Marea"), Lenny Kravitz ("Stand by My Woman"), and The Lemonheads ("It's About Time").
At the age of 16, Jolie returned to theatre.
She began to learn from her father, as she noticed his method of observing people to become like them.
Their relationship during this time was less strained, with Angelina realizing that they were both "drama queens".
While her brother attended the USC School of Cinematic Arts, Angelina appeared in five of his student films. But her professional movie career really began in 1993, when she played her first leading role in the low budget film Cyborg 2, as Casella "Cash" Reese, a near-human robot, designed to seduce her way into a rival manufacturer's headquarters and then self-detonate. She starred as Kate "Acid Burn" Libby in her first Hollywood picture, Hackers (1995), where she met her first husband Jonny Lee Miller.
The New York Times wrote, "Kate (Angelina Jolie) stands out. That's because she scowls even more sourly than her co-stars and is that rare female hacker who sits intently at her keyboard in a see-through top. Despite her sullen posturing, which is all this role requires, Ms. Jolie has the sweetly cherubic looks of her father, Jon Voight."
The movie failed to make a profit at the box-office, but developed a cult following after its video release.
